The existing share of renewables in total electricity is around 3.9% in 2009-10. This has been achieved owing to continuous focus and support from the Government, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), Forum of Regulators (FOR), State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) and the other supporting bodies like MNRE and IREDA.

Climate finance and the development of the global low-carbon economy are crucial elements for discussion at G8 and G20. An outcome form these Summits can be leveraged positively by formal UN negotiations.

Significant progress has been made for the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS), notably through the commissioning of CCS pilot plants, continued learning from plants already in operation, the development of legal and regulatory frameworks for facilitating CCS and public outreach activities.

This latest report produced by Lloyd's & Chatham House outlines key trends affecting global energy supplies over the next 10 - 20 years, identifying risks associated with both resource constraints and transition to a lower carbon economy.

In the rush to find new sources of energy and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, offshore wind farms are increasingly seen as an attractive solution, but their potential impact on marine biodiversity should not be overlooked.

This report demonstrates how the world can get from where we are now, to where we need to be in terms of phasing out fossil fuels, cutting CO2 while ensuring energy security. This phase-out of fossil fuels offers substantial benefits such as independence from world market fossil fuel prices as well as the
