India Can Add 420 GW of Clean Power Switching from Coal Energy, Reaching $368 billion Savings by 2030

India ranks in the top 7 nations worldwide in terms of renewable power according to data in the Global Wind Power Tracker and Global Solar Power Tracker report. But the country can avoid about 32 GW in coal power plant capacity or the annual use of 78 million tons of coal, much more than India has ever added since 2018.

The report pointed out that if the country switches to clean power than coal, then by 2030, it can add 420 GW of wind and solar power. Thus, avoiding coal power can increase savings yearly beyond $58 billion, and the savings figure to touch $368 billion in this duration. If India brings forth its utility-scale wind and solar projects as planned, it can cost $51 billion roughly.

However, with annual savings of US$19.5 billion in direct fuel costs, the nation can complete the payment in a matter of two and a half years. The Global Wind Power Tracker examines utility-scale power and has an account of 21,182 wind farms across 149 countries generating 728 GW, and has details of 5,564 prospective projects, accumulating 1,215 GW.

The utility-scale solar power makes up 35% of the solar capacity globally and the rest of the 65% comes from commercial and residential installations. The project manager of Global Wind Power Tracker, Shradhey Prasad said that the country switching to clean power from coal can slash emissions and save money to meet the target of net zero emissions by 2070.

The cost of wind and solar power will fall and is a better option given the volatile fossil fuel prices, assisting in building new energy infrastructure. India is placed in the 17th position globally concerning its capacity for wind power, trailing behind China, the United States, and Australia.

Today the @cop27_egypt has ended and concluded. The COP27 discussed that the world need to crackdown on climate change and crackdown global warming now. And they are committed to keep the earth temperature at the level of 1.5°C and we also urge that we need to stop using power coal and fossil fuels by 2030 and 2050 half of the territory will need to move to net-zero emissions. We need more countries to start using renewable energy by 2030. We also urge countries to aware that we need the temperature to stop at the level of 1.5°C and not pushing the level at 2°C. As some countries were not able to reach the target of 1.5°C and pushing the limits to 2°C. And the full of the territory will need to move to net-zero emissions is China and India at the target of 2070-2060. Also India is targeting to increase its low-carbon power capacity to 500 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 and meet 50% of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030. 🇮🇳 So let's crackdown climate change and keep 1.5°C alive. Please remember that when fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming. If the world dosen't take action its may causes floods and damage to the earth and can be also caused by climate crises. #gretathunberg #fightclimatechange #netzeroemissions #carbonfootprint #protectyourenvironment #powercoalition #china #china🇨🇳 #india #userenewableenergy #renewableenergy #sustainable #ecofriendly #savetheplanet (at Tonino Lamborghini) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGogFuyPjT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome to our first video in 2024, where we dive into a compelling case study on how industrial symbiosis accelerates carbon neutrality through regional cooperation. In this video, we explore the intersection of sustainability and interdisciplinary leadership, highlighting the urgent need to achieve internationally agreed sustainability goals like the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals. At Global Empowerment Leadership, we take pride in presenting our highly anticipated 2024 newsletter series. Last year, we delved into pressing sustainability challenges, such as green growth, climate action, and empowerment through education. This year, our focus shifts towards circular economy strategies—a realm of innovative, cross-sector solutions that hold immense promise for global sustainability. The circular economy represents a systemic shift away from the traditional 'take-make-waste' linear model towards an industrial system designed to be restorative and regenerative. By optimizing resource use through techniques like reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling, the circular economy aims to decouple economic activity from finite resource consumption and minimize waste generation. This holistic and multidimensional approach offers opportunities across industries and communities to eliminate waste and foster environmental stewardship. Throughout our 2024 newsletters, we will delve into major themes such as urban industrial symbiosis, sustainable minerals and materials management, and circular business model innovation. We are excited to present cutting-edge case studies and research that will assist industry, government, and civil society in their journey towards a truly regenerative and inclusive economy.
