Coal to stay in India, page-26

Oil / Steel minister Pradhan says India not responsible for global warming, will continue to use coal

Replying to a question on India’s commitment to bring down the share of coal in the country’s energy basket to 40 per cent from 80 per cent, Pradhan clarified: “In our energy basket coal’s share is around 50-55 per cent. Looking at our overall spending pattern and our energy management, our energy basket will have a place for all sources of energy,” he said.

“India is diversifying sources of coking and metallurgical coal which is needed by our steel industry and is largely imported. We are targeting a (growth in) steel making capacity from existing 40 million tonne to 300 million tonne per annum by 2030," he said.

- Coal stays, projected to shrink to 42-48% of their energy mix by 2047.
- Targetting 175 gigawatts of electricity generation through renewables by 2022, and by 2047 renewables will account for 10-17% percent of India's energy mix , up from about 4 percent in 2015.
- Ambitions to triple Steel Production over the next 10 years, and no mention of carbon emissions, currently at 242MT, extrapolate that and you have 654MT CO2 by 2030 in a BAU scenario.
