A new study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) in New Delhi highlights the need for India to install around 7,000 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. The study emphasizes the challenges beyond 1,500 GW, including land conflicts, high land prices, and climate risks. The research delves into the country's landmass to map out opportunities for renewable energy and green hydrogen projects while addressing constraints like population density and climate risks. It suggests that beyond 3,000 GW, deployment will require access to high-conflict zones and earthquake-prone areas, with population density limiting the realization of India's RE potential. The study identifies states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra with high unconstrained renewable energy potential, along with Ladakh emerging as key areas. It points out that regions like Odisha and Madhya Pradesh could play crucial roles in meeting India's renewable energy goals due to their RE potential and existing infrastructure. Despite challenges like land conflicts and climate risks, the study remains positive about India's vast renewable energy potential, emphasizing the importance of resilience and innovation in the journey towards net-zero emissions.
