Minister calls for de-carbonization of energy

The advent of technology will make renewable energy more attractive particularly for emerging and growing economies like India, Minister of Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal said here on 21 August 2017.

“I am sure this advent of Technology will make renewable energy more attractive particularly for emerging and growing economies like India, especially when renewable energy costs are down as compared to other forms of conventional energy sources,” he said at the 8th World Renewable Energy Technology Congress.

Goyal also highlighted the importance of 3Ds, which today’s global engagements need to focus their energy upon.

The 3Ds are – a common shared goal of De-carbonization of the energy space; to look at more Decentralization of energy space; and more and more Digitalization of the energy space.

“With each passing day, we are running out of time and we need to accelerate our efforts in coordination to promote clean energy and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If we do not address to these 3Ds, I am worried that the World might end up decelerating the global economy”, the Minister said.

The annual conference is visualized and planned in the backdrop of India’s vision on achieving “Energy Independence and Power for all by 2022”.

It focusses on new Green Technologies to ensure clean, reliable and affordable Renewable Energy supplies. fii-news.com
