: ACME Cleantech has signed a Heads of Agreement with BASF tosupply green ammonia to Europe and a Memorandum of Understanding to explore further collaboration in the green ammonia business. This partnership aligns with our commitment to sustainability and innovation, covering the entire value chain from production to market development By enabling our customers to produce more sustainably, we are driving positive change and setting a benchmark for sustainable industrial practices in Europe and the rest of the world,” the company said in a social me media post on Friday. It added that with BASF, the firm plans to drive cross-border collaboration,reinforce both region’s commitment to decarbonisation, and accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen and ammonia. In March this year, the Acme Cleantech signed a firm and binding agreement with Norway’s Yara, a global leader in ammonia trade and shipping,for supply of ammonia with reduced CO2 emissions on a long-term basis. ACME is already setting up a green ammonia project in Oman with a planned 900,00 tonne per annum capacity to be developed in phases. The company aims to become a leading green energy provider in the world by 2030 and produce 10 million tonnes per annum of green ammonia and hydrogen.

NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC, has signed a joint venture agreement with the New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NREDCAP) to develop 25 GW of renewable energy projects, 0.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of  green hydrogen and derivatives, and 10 GW of pumped storage projects (PSPs). This partnership is expected to bring ₹2 lakh crore in investment to Andhra Pradesh and create substantial employment opportunities in the state. The agreement aligns with NTPC's strategic focus on scaling renewable energycapacity to meet India's energy transition goals. NGEL’s initiatives are aimed at boosting the state’s clean energy infrastructure, which is critical for long term sustainable development. Earlier, NGEL has also partnered with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to  develop offshore wind projects. This joint venture will focus on harnessing offshore wind potential while simultaneously exploring opportunities to acquire existing renewable energy assets to strengthen its portfolio. The projects mark significant milestones in India’s renewable energy expansion strategy, as they contribute toward achieving national and global energy transiton targets. NGEL’s ₹10,000 crore initial public offering (IPO), launched to support its renewable energy initiatives, witnessed 33% subscription on its first day of bidding, according to data from the stock exchanges. Retail investors led the demand, oversubscribing their allocation by 1.33 times while non-institutional investors subscribed to 16% of the shares offered.

• A new method enables researchers to analyze magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. It was developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle. • The new method achieves a resolution of around 70 nanometers, whereas normal light microscopes have a resolution of just 500 nanometers. This result is important for the development of new, energy-efficient storage technologies based on spin electronics. The team reports on its research in the current issue of the journal ACS Nano. • Normal optical microscopes are limited by the wavelength of light and details below around 500 nanometers cannot be resolved. The new method overcomes this limit by utilizing the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) and a metallic nano-scale tip. ANE generates an electrical voltage in a magnetic metal that is perpendicular to the magnetization and a temperature gradient. • "A laser beam focuses on the tip of a force microscope and thus causes a temperature gradient on the surface of the sample that is spatially limited to the nanoscale," says Professor Georg Woltersdorf from the Institute of Physics at MLU. "The metallic tip acts like an antenna and focuses the electromagnetic field in a tiny area below its apex." • This enables ANE measurements with a much better resolution than conventional light microscopy allows. The microscopic images published by the research team achieve a resolution of around 70 nanometers. • Previous studies have only investigated magnetic polarization in the sample plane. However, according to the research team, the in-plane temperature gradient is also crucial and allows to probe the out-of-plane polarization using ANE measurements. In order to close this gap and demonstrate the reliability of the ANE method for visualizing magnetic structures on the nanometer scale, the researchers used a magnetic vortex structure. • A particular advantage of the new technique is that it also works with chiral antiferromagnetic materials. • "Our findings are significant for the thermoelectric imaging of spintronic components. We have already demonstrated this with chiral antiferromagnets," says Woltersdorf. • "With our method has two advantages: on the one hand, we have greatly improved the spatial resolution of magnetic structures, far beyond the possibilities of optical methods. Secondly, it can also be applied to chiral antiferromagnetic systems, which will directly benefit our planned Cluster of Excellence Centre for Chiral Electronics."
