India-EU Commitment to Green Innovation: Advancing Clean Technologies for a Sustainable Future
Key Ideas
  • India and the EU reaffirmed their commitment to advancing clean and green technologies through the Trade and Technology Council meeting in New Delhi.
  • Both regions will collaborate on joint research projects focused on recycling EV batteries, marine plastic litter, and hydrogen energy production from waste.
  • Standardization efforts will harmonize EV charging infrastructure and enhance safety standards for hydrogen energy, supporting global adoption.
  • Knowledge-sharing initiatives and capacity-building programs aim to foster innovation, collaboration, and business opportunities in the sustainability sector.
The second meeting of the India-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) in New Delhi underscored the joint commitment to advancing clean and green technologies. Both India and the European Union have ambitious climate goals, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2070 and 2050 respectively. The discussions focused on achieving these targets through significant investments in clean technologies, research collaboration, and standardization. Key outcomes included agreements on joint research projects addressing environmental concerns such as recycling EV batteries, tackling marine plastic litter, and improving hydrogen production from waste. The partnership, supported by a budget of EUR 60 million, also aims to advance EV charging infrastructure and hydrogen safety standards through collaborative efforts. Knowledge exchange programs and capacity-building initiatives further enhance cooperation between the two regions, fostering innovation and creating new business opportunities in sustainability. The meeting highlighted the importance of global collaboration in promoting clean and green technologies, with both India and the EU committed to working together in multilateral forums. Initiatives like the 'Ideathon' for marine plastic pollution demonstrate a holistic approach to environmental challenges. By investing in joint research, standardization, and capacity-building programs, India and the EU are solidifying their positions as global leaders in sustainable technologies, driving positive change for a greener future.
