[🇮🇳]  India: A Policy-Driven Push for BESS India has developed a comprehensive framework to promote BESS adoption, especially for grid-scale applications: Key National Policies and Guidelines National Framework for Promoting Energy Storage Systems (2023): Defines BESS as a critical grid asset and outlines its role in generation, transmission, and distribution. Viability Gap Funding (VGF) Scheme: ₹5,400 crore allocated to support 4,000 MWh of BESS capacity under Phase 1. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: ₹18,100 crore for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery manufacturing. Energy Storage Obligation (ESO): Mandates DISCOMs to procure a portion of power from storage sources under Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO). Waiver of Inter-State Transmission Charges: For BESS projects co-located with renewable energy. Battery Waste Management Rules (2022): Ensures safe disposal and recycling of batt...

India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to position the country as a global hub for the production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives, contributing to energy self-reliance and the global clean energy transition. Source:  Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Key Objectives: Production Capacity: Achieve at least 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of green hydrogen production per annum by 2030.  International Energy Agency Renewable Energy Expansion: Add approximately 125 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 to support green hydrogen production.  International Energy Agency Emissions Reduction: Reduce nearly 50 MMT of annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.  International Energy Agency Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT): The mission proposes two financial incentive mechanisms with an outlay of ₹17,490 crore up to 2029-30: Electrolyser Manufacturing Incentives: Support domestic manufacturing of electrolysers,...

What is the status of real practical implementation in context to climate change and sustainability or it is only on paper and publishing only on online to see the images ? Give me the brutal truth answers and results of different countries starting with India and other major countries across the world ….? The status of real, practical implementation of climate change and sustainability measures varies widely across countries. While some initiatives have made tangible progress, many efforts remain limited to policies and declarations without significant real-world impact.  Here's a brutal truth assessment of the situation, starting with India and covering other major countries: 1. India: Ambitious Plans but Mixed Results: India has set ambitious climate targets, including achieving 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030 and aiming for net-zero by 2070. The International Solar Alliance, spearheaded by India, shows some leadership in global renewable energy. Challenges in Implementation...
