New Delhi: With India explores several options to reduce its carbon footprint, the government on Tuesday said the country will produce three times more nuclear power than its current level and call for greater Indian-US cooperation for biofuels and hydrogen.
The problem increases efforts to produce more nuclear power in the next 10 years discussed at a meeting of Submissions in PMO and State Minister (Atomic Energy) Jitendra Singh with a US delegation led by the Deputy Secretary of Energy visiting the country, David M Turk.
Singh told the delegation that India would produce more than three times the nuclear power and its installed capacity is expected to reach 22,480 MW by 2031 of 6,780 MW at this time because more nuclear power plants are also planned in the future.
This step will help India substantially increase the share of non-fossil fuels in a mixture of total synchronous energy with its promises under the Paris agreement.
Although Indian share of the installed capacity of non-fossil fuel-based electricity generations has reached almost 39% of the total capacity of its power plant on existing targets of 40% by 2030, the step towards nuclear energy will help increase the purpose of the climate action.

Singh during the meeting called for larger Indian-US cooperation in the field of clean and green energy, and reaffirmed India’s commitment to promoting atom / nuclear programs to provide not only the main source of clean energy but also as the main application tool in fields such as Health and agricultural sectors.
Both parties also discussed them to discuss their strategic partnerships to focus on the clean energy sector, such as biofuels and hydrogen, aligning them with ‘Indian-US climate ties and net energy partnerships 2030’ announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and American President Joe Biden at Puncak Leader in the climate in April.
