Abstract:
Reliance Industries focuses on using clean energy to become a net-zero carbon emissions company by 2035.
The aim is to establish and enable 100GW of solar energy by 2030. To achieve this goal, Reliance Industries will establish four Giga factories to produce photovoltaic panels, energy storage solutions, green hydrogen, and fuel cell systems. Reliance Industries will also be building a Giga factory to produce power electronics, one of the critical components to affect the transition. The factory will bring together power electronics and software capabilities to create affordable solutions at scale.
As a part of this plan, energy storage has been identified as the key technology of the company's plans to replace fossil fuels with renewable alternatives and make the transaction more sustainable. Reliance sees batteries as integral to providing long-duration energy storage for grid-scale renewable energy. It also aims to create an end-to-end battery ecosystem—from battery materials to cell manufacturing, leading to the development of battery packs and battery management systems (BMS).
Reliance entered partnerships with Lithium Werks (producer of Lithium Iron Phosphate based battery technologies for advanced applications), Faradion (world-leading technology provider of Sodium-ion batteries), and Ambri (developing liquid metal batteries for storage applications), each of them being an industry disruptor and offering superior chemistry and better performance.
Reliance will set up a new energy manufacturing ecosystem in the Jamnagar complex to meet its captive energy requirement. Most importantly, Reliance aspires to make India a world leader in new energy manufacturing and a credible alternative to China.
