Three Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platforms

Current Context: Three Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platforms were launched at the Mission Innovation Annual Gathering session.

• The Material Acceleration Platforms are set up by the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
• The 3 MAPS include:-
• DST-IISER Thiruvananthapuram Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platform on Storage – This center would leverage the expertise of a consortium of 14 R&D institutes set up at IISER Thiruvananthapuram for solid-state battery research.
• DST-IIT Hyderabad Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platform on Bioenergy and Hydrogen – This center aims to accelerate the development of commercial biomass and wastewater to hydrogen through the discovery of novel catalysts, storage systems, and materials and optimized plant condition designs.
• DST-IIT Kanpur Integrated Clean Energy Material Acceleration Platform on Materials: to design materials for energy harvesting by employing quantum and classical mechanics.
