"****stan is among those countries which are severely vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and it is in our national interest to contribute and cooperate with worldwide mitigation and control activities, although our contribution to the problem is less than one percent.
All fossil energy sources like oil, gas and coal generate carbon emissions. Emissions from most of the sectors, except agriculture, can be reduced or controlled. In our country, the bulk of these emissions is from energy generation and consumption. Energy in one form or the other is required in all sectors – agriculture, industry, domestic, transportation. Global temperatures soar due to the emission of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide. The world wants to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050. The EU and the US have agreed to the target of net-zero carbon emission by 2050, China by 2060, and India by 2070.
Non-carbon energy choices are renewable energy like, solar, wind, hydel (water dams) and hydrogen. Green hydrogen is a new entrant in the energy scene and has acquired quite some prominence lately. The production and use of grey hydrogen – produced from gas and coal – was started some time ago, and green hydrogen will be produced by electrolysis of water. Grey hydrogen is mostly consumed by the oil-refining sector and in ammonia and fertiliser production; it is mostly produced on site."
good news for THAR potentially?
