Government of India Policy Towards Green Economy and Sustainable Development

The document outlines India's policy towards developing a green economy and sustainable development across multiple sectors. Key points include: - Coal will continue to be a primary energy source through 2030 but plants must undergo improvements to reduce emissions. Clean coal research is needed. - In oil and gas, transparency around emissions should increase and contracts should incentivize reducing flaring. Infrastructure for transporting fuel needs improvement. - India aims to have 175GW of renewable energy by 2022 through solar, wind, small hydro, and biomass. Forecasting tools are needed to integrate renewable energy into the grid. - Distribution needs 100% metering and billing to improve efficiency across the power sector. Nuclear regulation requires independence

Government of India policy towards green economy and sustainable

development
Policy implication in different sectors

1. Coal
 Coal will continue to be the primary source of electricity until 2030, as
expected by the modeling exercise.
 Coal-fired power plants must also go through this process.If they are to
succeed, they will have to undergo major technical improvements.continue to
be viable
 Changes in technology would be needed.As the capital costs of a business
have risen, regulatory interventions have been made.
 Putting up plants with cutting-edge technology is a long way off.As compared
to subcritical plants, the yield is higher.
 Remodeling and modernization measures need a significant boost.Clean coal
research and development (R&D) A time-bound roadmap is needed for
technology
2. Oil and gas
 Disclosure of energy consumption and process-related carbon emissions should be
promoted in this industry, beginning on a voluntary basis and eventually
becoming obligatory.
 This will lead to more transparency and public interest, which would make future
policy decisions easier.
 Contracts for exploration and development should contain financial incentives.
Fiscal provisions in the form of tax incentives will promote the elimination of
related gas flaring by energy savings in operations.
 A blueprint for an integrated fuel transportation strategy must be established in the
midstream oil and gas market.
 In the refining industry, the Solomon Energy Efficiency Index can be used as a
benchmark to help policymakers set realistic short- and long-term energy
consumption targets.
 To continue, productivity monitoring in accordance with the recommendations of
such an index can be encouraged.
 To encourage the use of natural gas, a Green Gas Quadrilateral must be generated
by building natural gas pumps along the Golden Quadrilateral highways.
 to encourage the use of gas as a transportation resource
3. Renewables
 By 2022, India wants to have 175 GW of installed renewable energy capacity, with
100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from small hydro, and 5 GW from
biomass-based power projects.
 Grid stability necessitates the use of renewable energy forecasting tools. Accurate RE
forecasting is difficult, however, due to a shortage of high-quality data and poorly
designed forecasting methods.
 The forecast's precision would have a significant effect on how much generation
integration occurs.
 India must improve and upgrade its solar R&D and manufacturing capability in order
to achieve low-cost manufacturing and therefore lower capital costs, as well as to
build on its inherent advantages in the solar market.

4. Power Distribution
 Since the financial stability of the entire power sector is dependent on sales, It is
important that the data is obtained at the delivery end.The delivery system has been
made commercially feasible.
 This is a good example. can be made possible by enhancing organizational efficiency
By achieving 100% metering, you can improve your efficiency.
 100% billing/collection quality, as well as a reduction in the commercial blunders
5. Nuclear
 The power regulator requires financial, institutional, and, most significantly,
legislative independence, which can be accomplished by the draft legislation known
as the "Nuclear Safety Regulatory Authority Act," which was introduced in
Parliament in September 2011.
 It's important to provide a strategic relations plan that includes local and community
residents, companies, and organisations in the decision-making process.
 In various nations, there are good examples of civic relations best practices and
tactics. Finland, for example, follows a pre-determined schedule for constructing a
nuclear power plant that is built on a step-by-step decision-making mechanism.

Transport

 In order to make a definitive change to green transportation, India's transportation


sector would need a systemic approach that includes proposed initiatives,
interventions, and major developments in the coming decades in the form of modal
shifts steps, specific infrastructure construction and upgradation works, fuel and
system quality upgrades, and mobility management.
 It is possible to set up an automated data processing system and a control center for
transportation data on a daily basis.
 In deciding intra-city travel demand, the spatial layout of different land uses or events
around the city is a crucial factor.
 As a result, all attempts toward a more integrated land use system must be made.
-usage and transportation planning will make a huge difference in lowering emissions.
 Improvements in terms of fuel content and performance Through - waste, productivity
will help to encourage healthier fuel. sulphur content, which may result in a
substantial reduction in terms of pollution

Electric mobility

 Economic security, job creation (through technological advancement and local


manufacturing), and decreased local air emissions are all co-benefits of electric cars
as a green development action.
 The Indian government recently announced the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of
Electric Vehicles in India Scheme, which is a positive move forward.
 However, in order to hasten the adoption of this renewable technology, it is proposed
that the system be supplemented by significant increased financing and arrangements
provided for state governments to receive a 100 percent capital subsidy if they want to
use electric buses in public transit.

Financing

 Green energy finance frameworks must be adapted to the particular financing criteria
of innovations at various levels of growth.
 Government funding and low-cost financing from bilateral/multilateral institutions
play a critical role in promoting R&D and advancement of emerging technical
technologies that are currently in the pre-commercial stage.
 The growth of the market for commercially accessible technology depends heavily on
bank funding.

Agriculture –

Facilitating the upgrade of obsolete pumpsets to energy-efficient pumpsets through the


AgDSM software,

which aims to develop viable PPP models, is one technical choice for enhancing irrigation
energy performance.

Solar pumping systems must be promoted and widely adopted because they can help reduce
diesel use in agriculture and thereby save a non-renewable fossil fuel.

Clean fuel

 More rigorous measures should be taken in light of the rapid development of the
vehicular market.
 BS-V fuels should be considered instead of adopting the norms in chronological
order, allowing Indian refineries to jump from BS-II to BS-V and BS-VI.
 With proper scrapping processes in place, obsolete cars can be phased out
progressively. Improved and faster penetration of cleaner fuels like LPG is needed.
 Increased penetration of improved biomass-based chullahs with higher efficiencies
and lower emissions is also needed.

Bio – diversity

 National biodiversity conservation programs must be coordinated with international


targets and mechanisms including the Aichi Biodiversity Target and the Nagoya
Protocol.
 In terms of concerns and respective ministries of the federal government and state
governments, the national goals are cross-cutting.
 However, funds available to meet national biodiversity conservation goals are small.
