EVs and Green Hydrogen for India's Net Zero

14 May 2024 CW Team

Experts predict that electric vehicles (EVs) and green hydrogen will play pivotal roles in India's journey towards achieving its net-zero emissions target by 2070. Embracing these sustainable technologies is seen as essential for India to address climate change and reduce its carbon footprint significantly.

The shift towards EVs and green hydrogen is expected to revolutionise India's transportation and energy sectors, promoting cleaner and more sustainable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. EVs offer a clean mobility solution, reducing air pollution and dependence on fossil fuel-powered vehicles. Meanwhile, green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources, presents a viable option for decarbonizing industries and power generation.

India's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and transition towards a greener, more sustainable future. Embracing EVs and green hydrogen is crucial for India to meet its climate targets and contribute to global efforts to limit global warming and mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change.

Investments in EV infrastructure and green hydrogen production facilities are expected to surge in the coming years as India accelerates its transition towards a low-carbon economy. Government policies and incentives aimed at promoting clean energy technologies and reducing carbon emissions will play a significant role in driving this transition forward.

Overall, the adoption of EVs and green hydrogen holds immense potential to propel India's efforts towards achieving its net-zero emissions target and ushering in a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Government Cancels Auction Of Eleven Critical Mineral Blocks

The government has cancelled the auction of 11 critical and strategic mineral blocks after receiving a poor investor response and failing to attract a sufficient number of qualified bidders. The decision represents a setback to plans to ramp up domestic exploration and production of critical minerals amid global supply chain disruptions and rising demand for materials used in clean energy and advanced technologies. The mines ministry issued an annulment notice setting out the reasons for the cancellations. The annulment notice indicated that the auction process for five mineral blocks was canc..

Gujarat Pushes Biogas Growth With 193 Operational Units

Gujarat has operationalised 193 biogas plants across the state and is planning to add 60 more units as part of a broader push to scale up clean and sustainable energy solutions. The existing plants, established under various government-supported schemes, process organic waste including cattle dung and agricultural residue to produce biogas and a nutrient-rich slurry. The output is mainly used for cooking and other energy needs in rural and semi-urban communities, while also improving local waste management practices. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is leading the initiative and is..
