NEW DELHI – India, backed by China, is trying to build a consensus within the Group of 20 industrialised nations to let countries choose a roadmap to cut carbon emissions instead of setting a deadline to end the use of fossil fuels, three Indian government officials said.
At a meeting of the G-20 Energy Transitions Working Group in the western state of Gujarat in April, India opposed a deadline proposed by rich nations to end the use of coal, said the official who was at the meeting. The Indian power ministry declined comment. The ministries of environment and renewable energy did not respond.“to accelerate the phase-out of unabated fossil fuels so as to achieve net zero in energy systems by 2050 at the latest”.
“A dominant view was seen emerging on every country to have individual pathways to achieve their national commitments and endowments,” said a third official who attended the meeting.Dark summer nights: India faces high risk of power cuts after years of coal, hydro power neglect
