The MANAPPAD 2000 MW Combned Cycle Power Project is jointly promoted by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)and other investors based in the US, Europe and South East Asia under the Umbrella of Canam Inc Houston, USA.

Producing syngas from biomass is a key step in the production of biofuels. Gasification is used to convert the biomass to hydrogen and carbon monoxide, but efficient conversion requires accurate thermal data.

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.

Wind energy is a form of solar energy. Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity.

Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers", are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity.

The world needs more power, preferably in a form that’s clean and renewable. Our energy-storage strategies are currently shaped by lithium-ion batteries – at the cutting edge of such technology.

The innovations in nanotechnology in electronics has lead to many new inventions such as 3D printing, and energy storage. Fuel cells are also expected to play a vital role in this regard.
