The Guest of Honor Mr. Rajnath Ram, Advisor (Power and Energy), NITI Aayog, The government of India, stated, “Low emission energy systems are undoubtedly a priority for the country and we are very much committed towards a sustainable future. I truly feel that our experiences can inspire other aspiring countries when it comes to sustainable energy development. Since our transport sector accounts for 20-22% of carbon emissions, decarbonization of the transport sector is vital. I believe that Zero-emission mobility is the future. The growth of EVs will have a cascading impact on the economy and biofuels and green hydrogen will play a huge role in this transition.”
Mr. Rajendra Petkar, Co-Chairman, SIAM Sustainable Mobility Group and President and CTO, Tata Motors Ltd, said, “The Indian Automobile sector has adopted an environmentally sustainable strategy that meets its energy efficiency goals, be it adopting technologically advanced fuel-efficient products or for that matter, nonpolluting vehicles. We have been aggressively looking towards lowering our carbon footprint and achieving carbon neutrality. Many OEMs have set targets keeping in mind India’s goal of attaining carbon neutrality by 2070. In the Paris agreement and CoP26 deliberations, there was an increased thrust for adapting and implementing environmentally benefitting imperatives through reduced usage of fossil fuels.”
On this occasion, Dr. Srinivas Shroff Nagesha Rao, Former CEO, REC Foundation and Advisor to UNDP made a presentation on the theme, “The Road to Net Zero Carbon Emissions, Sustainable Mobility in the backdrop of CoP26”.
