India is working on a mission mode on green hydrogen and aims to make the country a global hub for the production, use, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his video message during G20 Energy Ministers\u2019 Meet at Bambolim, Goa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must strengthen collaboration on fuels for the future. The High-level Principles on Hydrogen are a step in the right direction,\u201d he said in his message.<\/p>\n
PM Modi added that for a just, affordable and inclusive clean energy transition, it is important that the Global South is not left behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must ensure low-cost finance for developing countries. We must find ways to bridge technology gaps, promote energy security, and work on diversifying supply chains,\u201d PM Modi added.<\/p>\n
Speaking on India\u2019s LED distribution programme, he said it became the world\u2019s largest distribution programme and saved over 45 billion units of energy per year in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven our different realities, our pathways for energy transition are different. However, I firmly believe that our goals are the same. India is making great efforts in green growth and energy transition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Highlighting India\u2019s schemes and initiatives, he said that the country\u2019s domestic electric vehicle market is projected to reach 10 million annual sales by 2030. \u201cWe have commenced the roll out of 20 per cent ethanol blended petrol this year. Our aim is to cover the entire country by 2025,\u201d added PM Modi.<\/p>\n
He said that India has shown leadership in climate action.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe achieved our non-fossil installed electric capacity target nine years in advance. We have now set a higher target. We plan to achieve 50 percent non-fossil installed capacity by 2030. India is also among the global leaders in solar and wind power,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
On India\u2019s LPG scheme, he said that the country has connected over 190 million families with LPG in the past nine years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also achieved the historic milestone of connecting every village to electricity. We are also working to provide piped cooking gas to people. It has the potential to cover more than 90 per cent of the population in a few years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He said that trans-national grid interconnections can enhance energy security.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are promoting this mutually beneficial cooperation with our neighbors in this region. And I can tell you, we are seeing encouraging results,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
On inter-connected green grids, he said that it would enable India to meet its climate goals, stimulate green investment, and create green jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
