Clean energy can support India’s economic recovery post-Covid-19
India’s transport sector can save 1.7 gigatonnes of cumulative carbon dioxide emissions and avoid about 600 million tonnes of oil equivalent in fuel demand by 2030 through shared, electric, and connected passenger mobility and cost-effective, clean, and optimized freight transport says NITI Aayog in its report titled Towards a Clean Energy Economy: Post-Covid-19 Opportunities for India’s Energy and Mobility Sectors.
Laying out a four-pronged strategy for policymakers and other key decision-makers to support India’s clean energy future, the report said the government needs to invest in least-cost-energy solutions, support resilient and secure energy systems, prioritize efficiency and competitiveness, and promote social and environmental equity.
