Ajay K. Sood, Scientific Advisor to Government of India, laid emphasis on pursuing research on emerging energy sectors to ensure a sustainable future for the nation.
Prof. Sood was delivering a lecture on ‘India@2030: S&T Challenges and Opportunities’ at Sri Venkateswara University here on Monday, at an event organised by Innovation, Science and Technology Foundation (ISTF), a Tirupati-based scientific forum of academicians and intellectuals.
To make India self-reliant, he appealed to research institutes to focus on generation of green hydrogen and come up with alternatives to lithium batteries in the form of sodium, aluminium, potassium and magnesium, in view of the supply chain issues caused by lithium during the pandemic.
