Underlining efforts being taken to achieve the twin objectives of more energy availability & less carbon through a healthy mix of all commercially-viable energy sources, the Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas & Steel Dhamendra Pradhan has said that India will continue to lead the global sustainable energy agenda.
Briefing about energy requirements, the Minister said that India is now the third largest energy consumer after the US and China. He noted that while the country’s energy demand increased to 882 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2017, the per capita consumption of energy is still 30% of the global average.
Further, Pradhan said that energy consumption is projected to grow at 4.2% per annum up to 2035 and India’s share of the total global primary energy demand is set to roughly double to about 11% by 2040, driven by strong economic development. The Minister also stated that government is working to improve energy efficiency and productivity, demand substitution, improving refinery processes and promotion of bio and alternate fuels.
