𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲: 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🇮🇳🌍 As part of our commitment to combat climate change, the Government of India has set an ambitious target of achieving 50% of cumulative electric power capacity from non-fossil fuel resources by 2030 (Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change).🎯 This pivotal shift not only supports our goal of net-zero emissions by 2070 but also embraces a sustainable future for all. A recent study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) indicates that through our current climate policies, India is projected to reduce CO2 emissions by nearly 4 billion tonnes between 2020 and 2030—equivalent to 1.6 times the EU’s emissions for 2023! We have already experienced a remarkable 36% drop in emissions intensity (UNFCC, Press Information Bureau) from 2005 to 2020, demonstrating our capability to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions. With aspirations to lead in renewable energy, we are making significant strides in crucial sectors: e-mobility, aiming for 80 million electric vehicles by 2030 (CII), and green hydrogen, with a target of 5 million metric tonnes annually by 2030. Each of these initiatives not only fosters innovation but also positions India as a global frontrunner in sustainable energy solutions🥇 Join us as we drive change, invest in our planet, and redefine the future of energy. Together, we are not just powering our economy—we are empowering the generations that follow.

🌏 India's Path to Sustainability: What Can Offset Our Carbon Footprint? 🌱 As one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, India is taking bold steps toward reducing its carbon emissions. But what could be the biggest contributor to offsetting our footprint? 🔑 Here’s the breakdown: 1️⃣ 🌞 Renewable Energy (Biggest Contributor!) Transitioning to solar and wind power could offset up to 40% of total emissions by replacing coal-based energy. 2️⃣ 🌳 Forest Restoration Expanding India’s forest cover to 33% could absorb 38% of emissions annually. 3️⃣ ⚡ Electrification & Energy Efficiency Electric vehicles (EVs), energy-efficient tech, and green grids can significantly reduce emissions from transport and industry. 4️⃣ 🏭 Low-Carbon Industries Innovations like green hydrogen and carbon capture are transforming heavy industries like cement and steel. These strategies, when combined, are the keys to achieving a Net Zero India. 💪 But the journey requires collaboration across governments, businesses, and citizens. 👉 What role can YOU play in this transformation? Let’s come together for a greener, cleaner future! 🌿 #NetZeroIndia #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #GreenTechnology #FutureOfWork #ESG

India’s clean energy revolution is gaining momentum. With bold interim targets—reducing GDP emissions intensity by 45% (from 2005 levels), achieving 50% of installed electricity capacity from non-fossil sources, and creating a 2.5–3 billion tonne CO₂ carbon sink by 2030—the Government of India is paving the way for a transformative energy transition. But setting targets alone is not enough, it demands a strong domestic manufacturing ecosystem. That is where Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) comes in. A robust domestic manufacturing ecosystem can reduce import dependence, secure supply chains, and position India as a global clean tech manufacturing hub. Beyond driving industrial growth, this will boost economic resilience, create jobs, and ensure long-term energy security. The Bharat Climate Forum 2025 is set to catalyse these efforts by convening policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and global partners. This forum will drive discussions, foster innovation, and build partnerships that align India’s net-zero ambitions with its vision for sustainable development, inclusive growth, and clean tech leadership. A key highlight of the event will be a panel discussion on bioenergy and its role in nature conservation and climate action, moderated by our CEO, Swapan Mehra. This critical conversation will explore how bioenergy can reduce carbon footprints while supporting ecosystems and livelihoods—an area for innovation and impact. This forum is more than just an event—it’s a defining moment for India to demonstrate its leadership in clean tech and climate action. Stay tuned for updates from the Bharat Climate Forum 2025, where critical conversations and ideas that will shape India’s path to a Net-Zero and Viksit Bharat!

India’s Net Zero by 2070: How Much CO₂ Needs to Go? For India, achieving Net Zero by 2070 isn’t just about cutting down emissions; it’s about pulling carbon out of the atmosphere on an unprecedented scale. Let’s walk through the numbers to see what this commitment actually looks like. Current Emissions—The Baseline: Today, India emits nearly 2.9 billion tons of CO₂ annually, making it the third-largest emitter globally. With projected economic growth, emissions could peak around 5 billion tons by 2040. To reach Net Zero by 2070, this rising trend has to reverse drastically. Cumulative CO₂ Removal Needed: From now to 2070, India would need to remove nearly 100 billion tons of CO₂ cumulatively. This isn’t just about reducing emissions each year but also implementing active CO₂ removal strategies to balance out residual emissions, especially in hard-to-abate sectors. Natural Carbon Sinks: Forests, mangroves, and soil can play a massive role. India’s forest cover, which absorbs 300 million tons of CO₂ annually, will need to increase. Expanding green cover and restoring degraded lands could boost natural CO₂ absorption significantly, but it won’t be enough alone. Carbon Capture Tech—The Future Factor: To make up the difference, India will need substantial investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. By 2050, CCS could account for an additional 500 million tons of CO₂ removal annually if scaled up effectively. Renewable Energy’s Role: Clean energy is key. Solar and wind, combined with green hydrogen, can cut emissions drastically, reducing the CO₂ that we need to remove in the first place. By 2070, 80-90% of India’s power could come from renewables, lightening the load on carbon removal. Achieving Net Zero by 2070 means relentless focus, innovation, and building up our carbon sinks and capture tech. The path isn’t simple, but with commitment, it’s within reach. #IndiaNetZero #ClimateCommitment #CarbonReduction #SustainableIndia #CarbonSequestration #FutureOfEnergy #GreenTechIndia #RenewableRevolution #ClimateGoals2070 #CleanEnergyIndia #NetZeroGreenBharat #CarbonHydrogenX
