What is the news?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Indian government is planning to introduce various measures\/ strategies to use green energy and carbon emission-free fuels.<\/p>\n

What are the various initiatives of the government to tap green energy?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Use of green energy to run ships: <\/strong>The government\u00a0is planning to run ships 100% on green energy by adopting a hybrid energy model<\/strong> comprising a mix of solar, wind, hydrogen and seawater. This plan will help to lower operating costs for cargo ships as well as reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The model will help India’s energy security, as it imports 85% of crude oil and 53% of its gas requirements. Also, tapping Eco-friendly fuel will allow the Indian Navy to be at sea for longer. This will also benefit the Indo-Pacific strategy as the USA seeks a greater role for the Indian navy.<\/p>\n

Mandatory requirements: <\/strong>The government is also considering the other proposals for mandatory requirements for fertilizer plants and oil refineries to buy green hydrogen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Hydrogen Mission<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Solar Hydrogen Programme:\u00a0<\/strong>It was launched during the International Solar Alliance (ISA)<\/a> assembly to produce emission-free fuel at $2 per kg, which is much lower than the current $5 per kg.<\/p>\n

India’s commitment in the Glasgow summit: <\/strong>India has pledged to cut India’s total projected carbon emission by 1bn tonnes by 2030 and reduce the carbon intensity of the nation’s economy by less than 45% by the end of the decade and net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce carbon emissions:\u00a0<\/strong>India is also working on a multi prolonged approach on reducing carbon emissions and pushing for electric mobility. Maharashtra becomes the 1st state that aims to deregister an Internal combustion engine (ICE)<\/strong> and not to register any ICE vehicles starting 2030. It will register only non-emission causing electric vehicles and those fuelled by other carbon emissions-free next-generation fuels like hydrogen starting 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
