Where does the industry stand in 2021 and what are the trends to look out for?

As 2021 rolls in, Borg Energy India Pvt Ltd, a company providing innovative micro plant and efficient renewable energy solutions, takes a look into what trends will shape the renewable energy industry in this 2021 New Year.

Solar energy will continue to rise more than ever

Solar energy is booming and will continue to rise in 2021 says Borg Energy India Pvt Ltd Bangalore. While the pandemic slightly disrupted its operations in the last year, the New Year is expected to be different as solar energy continues to grow at a fast pace. For one, many are coming to terms with the effect of climate change and are embracing clean energy more than ever. Investors are also not deterred by the changes the pandemic brought as they could see the potential growth of these renewable energy market in 2021.

It\\u2019s the time for green hydrogen to shine

Who could have thought that green hydrogen could gain traction in 2021? While many recognize its importance in reducing emissions, the technological challenges and cost of production have been major reasons why it has taken the back seat. Green hydrogen is produced through a chemical process known as electrolysis. When powered by renewable sources, energy is produced without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A solution that is going to drive the energy sector as renewable energy is getting cheaper with less burden on the government for support.

Many countries like the Netherlands, Australia, and Portugal are already investing in this technology. Governments, investors, and businesses are also embracing this technology and there are expected to be more projects and collaboration with the renewable sector this New Year. 2021 is going to be a huge one for green hydrogen!
