Since the liquid solutions are stored in tanks and can be pumped into the cell to generate energy, flow batteries can be used either like fuel cells (where the spent fuel is extracted and new fuel is added to the system) or like rechargeable batteries (where an electric power source is used to regenerate the fuel).

To manage high petrol prices without cutting taxes, India can adopt strategies like diversifying oil imports for better terms, enhancing refinery efficiency to lower production costs, promoting alternative fuels and EVs to reduce petrol demand, expanding strategic reserves for price stability, improving public transport, and monitoring markets to ensure fair pricing. Additionally, innovative approaches like promoting carpooling, using smart traffic systems, incentivizing fuel-efficient vehicles, developing a local biofuels industry, launching fuel conservation campaigns, and green urban planning can further reduce reliance on petrol, benefiting both the economy and the environment.
Hydrogen fuel cells offer high efficiency and zero emissions, ideal for transportation and stationary power. Hydrogen combustion engines, emitting only water vapor but with potential NOx emissions, provide a practical transition using existing infrastructure. Both technologies are key to a sustainable energy future, with their adoption driven by application needs and technological advancements.
What is the ideal level of free electricity units ? This would depend on the region where it is implemented. It can’t be a random number say 250 units or 300 units. One has to do a lot more analysis to find the right number.
