Global Clean Energy Tech Investment Surpasses $200B

08 May 2024 CW Team

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global investment in clean energy technology exceeded $200 billion in 2023, marking a significant milestone in the transition towards sustainable energy solutions. This record-breaking investment underscores the increasing momentum and commitment towards combating climate change and advancing renewable energy adoption worldwide.

The $200 billion investment in clean energy technology reflects a growing recognition of the urgency to accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy sources and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Governments, businesses, and investors are increasingly channelling funds into renewable energy projects, energy efficiency initiatives, and clean technology innovations to drive sustainable development and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The surge in clean energy technology investment is driven by several factors, including supportive policies, declining costs of renewable energy technologies, and growing awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of clean energy solutions. As countries strive to meet their climate targets under the Paris Agreement and pursue ambitious renewable energy goals, investment in clean energy technology plays a critical role in facilitating the energy transition and building a resilient and sustainable future.

The IEA's report highlights the significant progress made in advancing clean energy technologies and underscores the need for continued investment and collaboration to accelerate the global energy transition. As the world increasingly shifts towards renewable energy sources and adopts cleaner and more efficient technologies, the momentum in clean energy investment is expected to further accelerate, driving innovation, economic growth, and environmental sustainability on a global scale.

During the implementation phase from 2–31 October 2025, over 1,205 sites were cleaned, covering 68,04,087 sq ft, nearing the target of 82,51,511 sq ft. Scrap disposal of 5,813 MT against a target of 8,678 MT generated Rs 228.7 million in revenue. In addition, 1,11,248 physical and 30,331 electronic files were reviewed, with 74,123 weeded out or closed. Key initiatives showc..

Vesting Orders Issued for Three Coal Blocks under Commercial Auctions

The Ministry of Coal’s Nominated Authority has issued vesting orders for three coal blocks under commercial coal block auctions on 23 October 2025. The Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements (CMDPAs) for these mines were earlier signed on 21 August 2025. The three blocks include Rajgamar Dipside (Deavnara), Tangardihi North, and Mahuagarhi. Of these, two are partially explored while one is fully explored, with a combined peak rated capacity of around 1 MTPA and geological reserves of approximately 1,484.41 million tonnes. These mines are expected to generate annual revenue of abou..
