As India prepares itself to become a gas-based economy, an issue that it will need to address is development of a skilled workforce, besides capital investment, says David C. Carroll, President and CEO of GTI — a non-profit research, development and training organisation focussed on global energy and environmental challenges.
Carroll, who is the former president of the International Gas Union, a global association aimed at promoting technical and economic progress of the gas industry, said India is taking measures that will help in transitioning to a gas-based economy, but the country will need to develop competencies to build and operate technically-advanced natural gas infrastructure.
