27 Oct 2020 Evaluate

In order to boost clean energy technologies and creating standards for innovations, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has stressed on the need for a clear ten-year road map. Kant also called hydrogen as fuel of the future especially for commercial vehicles which can ensure efficiency in movement across the country. He said ‘We should provide 10-year roadmap on where we want to be in clean (energy) technology. We should provide policy clarity to innovation stakeholders because a lot of innovation will keep happening as we go along.’

He highlighted that developing countries like India need to create standards for new technologies which sometimes become a hurdle for Indian entrepreneurs to disrupt the global market with local innovation. He added that India should focus on strengthening standards and certification infrastructure.

About the role of traditional energy, he said ‘Our belief is that hydrogen is an area where traditional energy companies can be a game changers given the similarities in the engineering needs of oil and gas and hydrogen processing technology.’ Traditional or conventional energy companies are looking at hydrogen and biofuels these days.
