This new study by WWF-India and TERI examines the possibility of a near 100% Renewable Energy Scenario (REN) for India by the middle of the century against a reference scenario in which the economy is likely to be dependent primarily on fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas.

This Report of the Standing Committee on Energy deals with the action taken by the Government on the Observations/ Recommendations contained in the Thirty-Seventh Report (Fifteenth Lok Sabha) on development of national grid.

The paper gives an overview of the energy resource governance in India. It illustrates the energy-poverty challenge and the emerging energy scenario in the country.

This report details the experience of the Biomass for Rural Energy project, one of the first attempts at sub-megawatt power generation through biomass gasification in India. It highlights the importance of biomass energy in national policy geared towards increasing the share of renewable energy in India’s energy mix.

An awareness of the potential of renewables beyond power-generation, particularly for heating, cooling, cooking and mechanical applications would greatly enhance their acceptance amongst the public, according to a report released by WWF-India and the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) at WWF-India, New Delhi.

This paper explores energy access, energy poverty, and energy development as energy security concerns confronting Asia and the Pacific. Improved access to energy services is arguably the key defining characteristic of economic development.

As one of the eight missions under India’s National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC), the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) was launched in January 2010 with the aim of accelerating India’s march toward grid parity in solar power.

The transition to a new energy architecture means developing a long-term strategy which takes into account the trade-offs and complementarities surrounding the core imperatives of every energy system, managing risks to energy supplies while ensuring a country’s economic and environmental well-being says this first edition of the Energy Architecture Performance Index report by WEF.

Policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are expanding around the world. They are being implemented to deliver countries’ own ambitions to move onto a cleaner development path, and in support of their international climate change commitments.
