They have signed a memorandum of understanding for the partnership, which will see new research groups established by the university in the key areas of tritium and digital engineering

The UK is keen to work with India ahead of COP26 in November to lead the global shift to a low carbon economy and expand access to sustainable energy

It will support the development of sustainable technologies aligned with the energy transition, decarbonisation and electrification of the economy

It forms part of a £30m programme to move the UK towards a circular economy, in which waste products and materials are reused, repaired or recycled to extend their lifecycle

It is expected to help the government company to better understand the scale of the issue, the nature of the problem and identify any further detailed research to inform changes to its current policy or design standards

The money will be used to equip the scientists, universities and research institutes across the UK with state-of-the-art technology

It is also supporting the creation of a consortium dedicated to developing control technologies for a modernised electric grid

UK Research and Innovation is supporting partnerships with researchers across 11 countries: China, Chile, Egypt, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Peru, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Vietnam

It is supporting 67 research projects across 30 states that reduce the cost of solar, increase US manufacturing competitiveness and improve the reliability of the electric grid

The space-based solar power systems would use very large solar satellites to collect renewable energy, convert it into radio waves and safely beam it back to ground-based receivers connected to the electric grid
