Hydrogen is vital for sustainable mobility in India

The zero-pollution nature of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles makes them a better transportation option. However, the transportation sector also needs to switch to clean hydrogen, because production of hydrogen from fossil fuels is a big obstacle to the reduction of emissions despite it burning as a clean fuel. In this scenario, India needs to go for renewable

Green hydrogen vital for India’s growth and netzero goals, says NITI Aayog

Green hydrogen is now an essential component of India’s economic development and net-zero plans. Hydrogen will be a critical enabler in meeting global targets to limit temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius, adapt to the adverse effects of climate change, and promote low-carbon development. According to a NITI Aayog report, it can help reduce 3.6

NITI Aayog to develop a roadmap for netzero emissions of NTPC

NITI Aayog, NTPC to collaborate on developing NTPC’s Net Zero GHG Emission Roadmap. Both of them have signed an agreement I this regard in alignment to GoI’s ‘Panchamrit’ goals. The agreement seeks to formalize a framework of cooperation between the parties to facilitate. NTPC to strategize on diversification of its generation mix to eventually reduce

Development of green hydrogen corridors necessary for promotion

The NITI Aayog, the apex public policy think tank, its report on ‘Harnessing Green Hydrogen – Opportunities for Deep Decarbonisation in India’, said that the country needs to form Green Hydrogen Corridors (GHC). The apex body also said that governments can look at providing grants to startups as well as support entrepreneurs to promote green

India can produce green hydrogen cheaper than China

India can be the cheapest producer of Green Hydrogen in the world due to its enabling climatic conditions, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said. In an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue, Kant pointed out that India has brought down the cost of renewable energy. While noting that China does not have climatic conditions to

Why India’s policy to produce ethanol-blended petrol is short-sighted

The ambitious policy to promote ethanol-blended petrol will be bad for India’s food and water security. Because, in a world moving towards electric vehicles (EVs), batteries and hydrogen, ethanol is less suited for India amid scarce land and water. We may end up compromising food security in the longer term. In this context, this article
