TRY IMAGINING THIS. The year is 2047. Some of the top conglomerates and public sector firms are carbon neutral. India has a green power grid fed by renewable energy, unlike now when coal dominates. A majority of two- and four-wheelers running on Indian roads are electric powered. And Indians can breathe clean air throughout the year.
Thatâs not a stretch if India sticks to the road map for achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. That plan is premised on six elementsâexpanding renewable energy capacity; improving access to alternative clean energy sources such as nuclear energy, green hydrogen, fuel cells, and biofuels; increasing energy efficiency; rational utilisation of fossil fuel resources; industrial decarbonisation; and an optimum energy mix complementing national development scenarios.
But getting there requires a vast improvement in the infrastructure. This will require heavy investment not just from the government but from the private sector as well.
CAPACITY BUILDING
To ensure steady progress towards net zero, the country needs to take it one step at a time. In a recent report, Climake, an organisation working in the climate finance space, noted that adoption of renewable energy needs to accelerate. The year 2024 will mark the largest addition yet of non-fossil fuel energy capacity in India. âThe 14.2 GW added in the first six months exceeds the 13.5 GW installed in 2023. But more is needed; annual installed capacity additions have to average 60GW by 2030,â the report said.
Besides, another problem that needs immediate attention is storage. Thatâs because the increase in green energy capacity does not automatically translate to a commensurate increase in green energy generation. In 2023, non-fossil fuel energy accounted for 45% of electricity capacity but only 24% of generation. India needs to upgrade its grid to balance renewable energyâs variability.
