Experts examine India’s refinery transition from fossil fuels to net zero
Industry experts at The Hindu Sustainability Summit discussed how India’s refinery and energy sectors can balance energy security with the push towards net-zero emissions. Their discussion covered renewable energy, disruptions to crude supplies and the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme.
Industry experts discussed the challenge of balancing energy security with India’s net-zero ambitions at The Hindu Sustainability Summit. The discussion was titled “Fossils to Net Zero: Transforming India’s Refinery and Energy Landscape”. It focused on the future direction of the country’s refinery and wider energy sectors.
The panel considered the role of renewable energy in that transition. It also examined geopolitical disruptions affecting crude supplies, an issue relevant to the reliability of energy inputs for refineries. The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme was another subject raised during the discussion.
The available material does not provide the names of the panellists, their individual positions or specific recommendations. It also does not state whether the experts reached a consensus on the balance between maintaining energy security and reducing emissions. The summit discussion nevertheless placed renewable energy, crude-supply risks and carbon-market policy within the same debate about the sector’s transition.
