Indian government committed towards green and clean energy

Indian government committed towards green and clean energy
.

The government aims at developing import substitute, cost-effective, pollution-free and indigenous mobility solutions for India.

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said the government is committed to shift public transport and logistics to 100 percent green and clean sources of energy. Addressing the Symposium on International Automotive Technology he mentions that the national hydrogen mission launched by the Prime Minister seeks to develop hydrogen technologies for the benefit of the mobility sector and make India the leader in production and usage of green-hydrogen. 

Seventy percent of Green hydrogen production costs come from electricity costs. Hence, surplus electricity from renewable energy sources can completely change economics of production of green hydrogen production. Green Hydrogen is termed as the fuel of the future and it is the only fuel which can help achieve the mission of “Zero Carbon Emissions”.

The Minister also mentioned recently launched Production Linked Incentive scheme that aims to boost ‘Advanced automotive technology products’ in the Indian auto sector which help to lower fossil fuel emissions and expect the scheme would lead to a fresh investment of more than ₹42,500 crore and creation of additional 7.5 lakh jobs in the sector.  He said as far as public transportation is concerned, the need of the hour is to develop import substitute, cost-effective, pollution-free and indigenous mobility solutions for India and dependence on imported crude oil needs to be reduced. 

The government is planning to introduce flex-fuel vehicles which allow operation of the vehicles on 100 percent ethanol and petrol. Flex engine-based vehicles are already running in the USA, Brazil, and Canada, and it is just a matter of time to take that leap that will transform the transport landscape of India forever.

The Minister said the safety scenario on Indian roads needs improvement as every year approximately 1.5 lakh people die on Indian roads in almost 5 lakh accidents. The concept of Zero Vision is to achieve zero accidents and loss of life is also being adapted in India.
