Sustainable Energy Initiatives in India: Progress and Challenges
Key Ideas
  • India has made significant strides in solar energy with a 20-fold increase in installed capacity, showcasing progress towards renewable energy targets.
  • The Ethanol Blending Programme has seen a remarkable rise in blending percentages, contributing to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy security.
  • Challenges like grid integration, land availability, logistic hurdles, and technology constraints persist, requiring strategic interventions for sustained progress in sustainable energy initiatives.
  • The Green Hydrogen Mission represents India's commitment to sustainable energy solutions, despite facing challenges like high production costs and technology maturity, necessitating investments in R&D and international collaborations.
India has been actively pursuing sustainable energy initiatives like the National Solar Mission, Ethanol Blending Programme, Compressed Biogas Plants, and Rooftop Solarisation Scheme under the leadership of the Modi government. The country has witnessed impressive growth in solar energy installed capacity and ethanol blending percentages, showcasing progress towards renewable energy targets and carbon emissions reduction. However, challenges such as grid integration, land availability, logistic hurdles, and technology constraints persist, requiring strategic interventions for sustained progress. The Green Hydrogen Mission exemplifies India's commitment to sustainable energy solutions, though facing challenges like high production costs and technology maturity. To overcome these barriers, investments in research and development, technological innovation, and international collaborations are crucial. India's journey towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable energy future requires pragmatic policy interventions, stakeholder engagement, and capacity-building initiatives to bridge implementation gaps and amplify the impact of these initiatives.
