India is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, a goal announced at COP26 to align with global climate targets. Key 2030 interim targets include reducing GDP emissions intensity by 45%, achieving 50% non-fossil electric power capacity, and cutting 1 billion tonnes of projected emissions.

India is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, a goal announced at COP26 to align with global climate targets. Key 2030 interim targets include reducing GDP emissions intensity by 45%, achieving 50% non-fossil electric power capacity, and cutting 1 billion tonnes of projected emissions. 
Key Aspects of India’s Net-Zero Strategy (by 2070):-
Interim 2030 Goals: -
Expanding renewable energy capacity to 500 GW and reducing total projected carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes.
Sectoral Focus: -
Transitioning power generation from coal to renewables, enhancing energy efficiency in buildings, and decarbonizing transport and industrial systems.
Policy & Implementation:-
 NITI Aayog is leading working groups to develop transition pathways, including focusing on critical minerals, climate finance, and green hydrogen.
Specific Targets: -
Public sector units like Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. are setting intermediate targets, such as net-zero operational emissions by 2046.
Key Pillars: -
The strategy hinges on rapid expansion of solar/wind, adoption of electric vehicles, green hydrogen, and carbon sequestration via forestry. 
The 2070 target is part of India’s "Panchamrit" plan, which emphasizes low-carbon development while balancing economic growth and developmental needs. 
   India will reduce the total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes from now onwards till.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
