A release stated that the state has reduced carbon emissions by approximately 115% in 2022 in comparison with 2017, due to an increase in the installed renewable energy capacity in power generation.

In 2017-18, the carbon emissions reduction from renewable energy in Gujarat was 12.08 MT, which surged to 26.01 MT, or 115% in 2021-22. The Gujarat government revealed the information in the release issued on World Environment Day.
