It would be prudent for both the countries to further consolidate their relations by exploring the opportunities available in renewable energy
India has over thirty years of experience in developing biogas, biomass and solar energy and this expertise needs to be leveraged better
The rush to install RE capacity could come at the expense of forest cover thus increasing India’s annual carbon emissions
As India aims to achieve its climate commitments, the significance of renewable energy keeps on growing as reflected in the union budgets over the yea
This Paper outlines the potential of renewable energy in addressing India's energy supply and access; it identifies challenges and provide a discursive overview of the various market and policy instruments developed to scale up renewable energy generation. India’s significant economic growth over the last decade has led to an inexorable rise in energy demand. Currently, India faces a Ichallenging energy shortage. To grow at 9 per cent over t

By floating a tender for setting up the country’s first ground-mounted solar plant, Bhutan has made a maiden attempt at deploying renewables other t
The Chinese government has put forth plans for significant ownership of the global renewable energy supply chain.
In its quest to achieve net zero, China has introduced new plans to promote green transition and has made significant progress in low-carbon developme
By 2030, RE is expected to have the largest share in power generation capacity
A sudden rise in demand of natural gas and coal due to seasonal change begs the question, why does the market continue to embrace coal and gas—fuels
India’s target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022 might appear ambitious, but it is crucial as it will have a positive impact on the country’s economic growth, energy security and the fight against climate change. Financing is emerging as the key challenge to this vision, slowing down the pace of growth; as of December 2019, over 50 percent of the 2022 target is yet to be achieved. This brief outlines India’s existing
Lopsided allocation of funds could easily lead to the government missing its target for renewable energy capacity, with huge costs to the environment.
Given the need to prioritise growth in the developing world, the goals must be 'development-climate compatible,' not, 'climate-development compatible', according to Dr. Youba Sokona, coordinator, African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) based in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
Recent headlines show India's renewable energy, especially solar, is slowing despite optimism. The government's coal focus hints at a shift.
Public financial institutions such as MDBs and DFIs have to enter the fray to solve the long-term debt funding requirements of the RE sector
टेक्नोलॉजी- पर्यावरण और जलवायु के लिए वरदान या अभिशाप?

A private sector-oriented Global Green Bank is required to overcome the market gaps that prevent Global North capital from flowing to the best decarbonisation investment opportunities among Global South enterprises. The Global Green Bank should operate as a world-class investment firm, capable of developing innovative financial solutions and investing through externally raised investment fund-of-funds and its own proprietary book. Such a Global G
Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) are highly vulnerable to disasters emanating from the impacts of climate change, geopolitical tensions, and fluctuations in global energy markets. To overcome this, the PSIDS have committed to ambitious carbon reduction targets, and to adopting renewable energy and low carbon emission initiatives. However, they must contend with critical barriers, such as the lack of finance, capacity, and te
As India sets out to be the next key semiconductor hub, it should strive to make the manufacturing process more efficient and sustainable
India’s government recently announced a safeguard duty (SGD) on solar cells and modules from China (and Malaysia) starting with 25% in the first year. This decision does not only jeopardise the own renewable energy targets but also harm the own economy. Why not let pay China for India's energy transition?
The geographical and socioeconomic characteristics of small island developing states (SIDS) expose them to unique challenges. Climate change, in particular, poses a severe threat to SIDS, with rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and changing precipitation patterns negatively affecting their ecosystems, economies, and communities. This brief assesses the challenges faced by SIDS in accessing traditional climate financing and analyses the effec
Will the increase in energy consumption of the poor masses for cooling and other energy services help them adapt to a warmer world or contribute to a
To achieve both its development goals and energy transition goals, India needs consistently higher levels of growth in national income to enhance the
Financial transfers from Global North are band-aids. What is absent is resource mobilisation to incentivise the South to move away from fossil fuel de
India can advance solutions and drive international consensus on critical issues related to priority sectors such as food and energy in the Bay of Ben
The recent technological advancement in the energy front could translate into abundant low carbon energy supply; however, there are multiple problems
The Union Budget provides a boost to the energy transition but fails to address the critical need to synergise climate adaptation with India’s devel
India’s power sector requires sustained efforts to achieve the power generating capacity target of approximately 1.2 terawatts by 2047. It needs such capacity to meet the demands of economic growth and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 7 of providing universal electricity access. At the same time, the country also needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to meet commitments to global climate action agreements. This paper revi
Coal consumption sees a resurgence as countries attempt to balance between increasing demands for energy and slow supply of renewables. A new challeng
Two examples-the first from the aviation and the second from the renewable energy industries-demonstrate how China has used unfair rules and regulations to fuel its meteoric rise.
The course of the global energy transition may be determined by the effectiveness of Africa’s lithium exploration negotiations with China
The West sees China's investments and capacities in low-carbon energy as a security threat instead of recognising its role in boosting RE’s global s
Though the diversification of the solar PV supply chain could end dependency on China, it will increase the cost of decarbonisation of the energy sect
China's export of cheap clean energy equipment is a public good as relatively poor countries can now afford large clean energy projects
The Indian electricity market's future might incline towards renewable energy suppliers, possibly featuring specialised green providers.
