In recent years, more governments have been giving greater attention to developing their countries’ electric vehicles (EV) sector as a strategy for minimising the harm that mass transportation can cause to human health and the environment. This paper tells the story of India’s EV initiative. It offers an overview of the national mission to push the manufacture and adoption of EVs; appraises the policies introduced by governments of select sta
The West sees China's investments and capacities in low-carbon energy as a security threat instead of recognising its role in boosting RE’s global s
The Electric Vehicle (EV) segment in India has gathered momentum in recent years, but a mismatch in intent and action has resulted in limited on-ground adoption of EVs. However, the expected growth of the automobile sector (especially in the personal-mobility space), due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and people’s increased understanding of vehicular emissions, creates immense scope for the exponential growth of the EVs industry in India. Ess
This Environment Day, India can focus on adopting an actionable framework that will ensure the creation of an agile, green, and resilient medical supp
Ambition and prioritisation of climate action in national policies coupled with fuelling international cooperation can help India emerge as a global l
The IRA, especially its climate and tax components, could prove to be a masterstroke for the Democrats before the mid-term elections.
India could jump a complete technology phase by moving straight to novel battery technologies and strategically reduce its battery import dependence a
The course of the global energy transition may be determined by the effectiveness of Africa’s lithium exploration negotiations with China
Accompanying these country-level strategies is a range of defensive measures that the EU has put in place. These include two-way screenings of investments and anti-coercion mechanisms under the umbrella of its 'derisking' approach. At the same time, Europe is attempting to diversify its trade partners and supply chains in favour of more 'like-minded' nations in Asia, Latin America and elsewhere.
In light of high import dependencies and export bans imposed by resource-rich countries, countries need to create secure critical mineral supply chain
Pollution-free, decongested and zero emissions. This is what electric vehicles offer Delhi, but its current policy does not achieve this.
Trends in consumption growth in the last two decades suggest that IEA’s expectation of a decline in demand for petrol in India on account of growth
China’s approach to trade has stood impervious to change. It is time for a new geoeconomic approach to counter China. Like-minded nations can fashion rapid arrangements to grow the supply chains that matter most, such as for electric vehicles (EV). The US and India, plus Australia, Canada, Japan, Britain, Taiwan, Korea, and Mexico can form an EV supply chain compact to create a level playing field within the group and incentivise their
China’s approach to trade has stood impervious to change. It is time for a new geoeconomic approach to counter China. Like-minded nations can fashio
Emissions from fossil fuel-powered motor vehicles adversely affect air quality and contribute to global warming. The manufacture and use of electric vehicles (EVs) is among the ways by which this challenge can be mitigated. This brief evaluates the best practices adopted by countries in the forefront of EV adoption, and outlines the lessons India can draw from them to inform its own EVs strategy. It finds that in addition to strengthening
As a response to the rising energy needs, India has come up with a battery swapping policy: A necessary but not a sufficient step.
Recent developments in developing sodium-ion battery technology might provide a solution to the materials crisis in the electric mobility transition.
One should ask, if you cannot have one net-zero event per year, how can one expect whole countries to become net zero?
The fourth Master Plan for Delhi aims to address the increasing air pollution in the city. Would such an action plan be enough to improve Delhi’s ai
As we enter the new decade, it is critical that nations and communities be able to realise the transformative potential of emerging technologies, in a
With the 2024 European Parliament elections taking place from 6-9 June, the fate of the European Green Deal hangs in the balance.
Energy storage is key to both effective integration of renewable energy systems with the electricity grid, and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). This brief discusses the technological trends in lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries, and assesses the energy storage needs of the Indian power and transportation sectors. It looks at the geographic distribution of lithium and cobalt in onshore and offshore locations across
