IFGE: Way towards sustainable energy

The bioenergy sector holds immense potential in addressing the world's growing energy demands, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing sustainability. Committed to promoting energy security in a sustainable manner across all sectors of economic development, the Indian Federation of Green Energy (IFGE) is making significant contributions in various ways.

The IFGE comprises dedicated visionaries and stakeholders from a broad spectrum of industries, businesses, and services. Together, they are focused on creating a sustainable energy ecosystem and addressing the challenges associated with it. As an umbrella organisation, IFGE represents the interests of the entire national renewable energy sector, including bioenergy, solar, wind, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and more.

The primary objective of IFGE is to advance green energy initiatives across all sectors of economic development. As a non-governmental, nonprofit organisation, IFGE is dedicated to proactively promoting green energy initiatives throughout India. The Federation advocates for the entire renewable energy sector and plays a crucial role in shaping the policies and projects that drive the growth of green energy.

Strategic Initiatives

IFGE proposes several initiatives to foster the integrated development of green energy across the country:

1. Development of a Green Energy Map for All States: While supporting policies exist to promote renewable energy development within India, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive, updated state-wise resource assessment for all renewable energy sources. Developing a renewable energy map for each state will provide a complete overview of the distribution of various renewable energy sources. This mapping will enhance the understanding of green energy's potential and address regional imbalances, ultimately strengthening India's green energy status.

Unlocking the Potential of Municipal Solid Waste

The more conventional methods of managing waste, such burning and landfilling, become unsustainable. Landfills, although still in widespread usage, are land-use intensive and provide long-term environmental hazards, such as methane emissions and groundwater contamination. Even while incineration is a good way to reduce trash volume, it is energy-intensive and emits dangerous emissions. Cities are looking for new and creative approaches to manage garbage sustainably as conventional approaches become less practical.

Why Energy Transition Financing is Crucial for India

The whole world is badly hit by the cost of energy, including fuel, due to the ongoing geo-political issues. India’s net oil and gas import bill reportedly stood at 122 billion for 2023-24. The Indian economy is the fastest growing economy and estimated to grow between 6.8 and 7.2 per cent in the coming years. No doubt the need for energy is ever increasing. India’s per capita electricity consumption is at 1200 units as compared to the USA which is 12000 units. Energy is a growth engine for any economy. In such a situation, focusing on Energy Transition is quite crucial, with significantly long term financing for 15-20 years in place.
