India calls for a reset of climate debate on coal as a fuel
New Delhi: India on Tuesday called for a reset on climate debate on coal as a fuel, in the backdrop of India becoming one of the top renewable energy producers globally with ambitious capacity expansion plans.
India’s position was articulated by power and renewable energy minister Raj Kumar Singh; commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal and coal and mines minister Prahlad Joshi at the India Energy Forum by CERAWEEK.
“The debate about coal needs to be restated or restructured. One should talk about emissions not not coal production. This whole premise needs to be re examined,” said Raj Kumar Singh.
