India's pathway to net zero by 2070: status, challenges, and way forward

In Environmental Research Letters

The announcement of India's 2070 net-zero target has demonstrated the power of a credible policy signal and changed the course of India's climate debate. While the Government of India (GoI) has not specified whether this target refers to carbon-dioxide or all greenhouse gases, the announcement has been a watershed moment in India's climate policy...

Sub-national drivers of India’s green hydrogen development

In Asia-Pacific Tech Monitor

India’s national government has offered strong support for the development of green hydrogen as part of the country’s clean energy transition. However, much of the actual progress in this transition will depend not on national but subnational governments. This paper argues that India’s subnational governments have significant potential to...

The Role of Sub-National Governments in India’s Green Hydrogen Transition: A multilevel perspective

India’s national government has offered strong support for the development of green hydrogen as part of the clean energy transition. However, much of the actual progress in this transition will depend on subnational governments. This paper argues India’s subnational governments have significant potential to capitalise on diverse natural resource...

How Can Japan Help Create a Sustainable Hydrogen Society in Asia?

ADBI Working Paper Series

Japan has adopted several policies that signal its intent to rely on hydrogen to achieve net-zero climate goals. However, many of those same policies are unclear about its support for a transition to green hydrogen. Relying on gray and blue hydrogen without a transition to green hydrogen will harm the climate. It will also result in several other...

India’s energy transition: Is China an inhibitor or a catalyst?

In China's Carbon-Energy Policy and Asia's Energy Transition: Carbon Leakage, Relocation and Halos

India has an ambitious renewable energy target for the decades ahead. However, the targets are faced with two critical impediments: (1) the lack of an internationally competitive renewable equipment manufacturing industry domestically and (2) the overdependency on external supply sources for equipment and machinery. The chapter finds that, despite...
