India's Green Energy Future: Advancing Sustainability with Global Partnerships
Key Ideas
  • India sets ambitious targets for renewable energy, aiming for 45% carbon intensity reduction and 50% renewable electric power by 2030.
  • India prioritizes green hydrogen production, aiming for 5 million metric tonnes annually by 2030 to establish as a global hub.
  • Petronas invests in India's Green Ammonia Project with Gentari, focusing on green energy projects and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
  • Despite legal challenges, Petronas strengthens its partnership with India, aligning its investment strategy with India's renewable energy focus.
India is navigating an energy transition towards sustainability while tackling developmental challenges and poverty reduction. To achieve its net-zero emissions goal by 2070, India has set ambitious targets, including a 45% reduction in carbon intensity and sourcing 50% of electric power from renewables by 2030. Additionally, India aims to reach 500 GW of renewable energy capacity within the same timeframe. India is making significant progress in green hydrogen production by using renewable energy for water electrolysis, with a goal of producing 5 million metric tonnes annually by 2030. This aligns with India's plan to become a global hub for green hydrogen, emulating Germany's leadership in the sector. Partnering with global players like Petronas, India is accelerating its green energy initiatives. Petronas, through its subsidiary Gentari, has invested heavily in India's Green Ammonia Project to produce 5 million tonnes of green ammonia annually by the end of the decade. Despite legal challenges faced by Petronas, including a complex case involving a Filipino dynasty group, the partnership between Petronas and India remains strong, reflecting a broader trend in the Global South towards green energy advancements. India's workforce skilled in renewable technologies is driving innovation and entrepreneurship in the sector, with Petronas playing a crucial role in supporting India's green energy future.
