The US-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership Ministerial meeting was held in Washington D.C. with U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri convening. The partnership aimed to drive clean energy innovation and accelerate energy transitions in both countries. The ministers highlighted progress in various technical pillars such as renewable energy, emerging fuels & technologies, energy efficiency, and sustainable growth. Efforts were made towards clean energy manufacturing, resilient supply chains, and advancing renewable energy deployment. The two countries launched the Renewable Energy Technology Action Platform (RETAP) to work on projects related to hydrogen, energy storage, offshore wind, and geothermal energy. Collaboration also extended to grid integration, energy storage, electrification of vehicles, and initiatives like sustainable aviation fuel, modernizing power distribution, and carbon capture and storage (CCUS). The ministers emphasized the importance of supporting a sustainable energy transition prioritizing reliable, affordable, and clean energy supplies. They welcomed collaborative efforts on clean hydrogen R&D, hydrogen hubs, energy storage, and promoting green hydrogen use in transportation. The partnership also included work on policy frameworks, safety, and innovative business models in energy storage. Additionally, the collaboration focused on modernizing the power distribution sector, supporting India's smart metering deployment, and enhancing energy efficiency standards. Efforts were made to promote super-efficient appliances, supply chain diversification, and electrification of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Progress was noted in areas like carbon capture, methane abatement, and smart grid technologies. The ministers expressed satisfaction with the productive public-private sector dialogues that are key to supporting clean energy initiatives and collaborations between the US and India.
