India-Netherlands Report Outlines LNG as Transport Fuel

A collaborative report between India and the Netherlands has delineated a comprehensive roadmap for the integration of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a future fuel in India's transportation sector. Highlighting the potential of LNG to mitigate emissions and enhance energy security, the report outlines strategic steps to promote its adoption across various modes of transport.

The report emphasises the significance of LNG in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, particularly in the transportation sector. With its lower carbon footprint and cleaner combustion characteristics, LNG presents a viable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, aligning with India's sustainability goals and commitments to combat climate change.

Key recommendations in the report include the development of infrastructure for LNG production, storage, distribution, and refuelling stations, along with policy measures to incentivize LNG adoption. Additionally, it underscores the importance of fostering collaborations between government agencies, industry stakeholders, and international partners to drive the transition towards LNG-based transportation.

Furthermore, the report identifies potential challenges and opportunities associated with LNG integration, such as market dynamics, technology advancements, regulatory frameworks, and investment requirements. It underscores the need for coordinated efforts and proactive measures to overcome barriers and unlock the full potential of LNG as a transport fuel in India.

Overall, the collaborative report between India and the Netherlands provides a strategic roadmap for harnessing the benefits of LNG in India's transportation sector. By leveraging LNG's environmental and economic advantages, India can accelerate its transition towards cleaner and more sustainable mobility solutions, contributing to national development goals and global climate objectives.
