Indian Perspectives on Global Energy Scenarios till 2050
TIFAC supported a collaborative project with International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria. The objective was to understand energy transition needed in India that is consistent with global perceptions and to identify research and development required for the transition. IRADe studied IIASA’s energy scenarios for global regions from India’s perspectives. The project provided a global energy vision for India till 2050.
In IIASA’s scenario, carbon capture and storage (CCS) played an important role. IRADe scenario without CCS pushed more nuclear and gas plants along with renewables. IRADe’s work with IIASA helped identify technologies for the energy transition needed for sustainable development including for combating climate change. It also helped India to present its perspective in the development of global energy scenarios that reflects India’s concerns.
