India’s Initiative For Net carbon Zero
Phasing out coal
• The Indian government has announced plans to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2070.
•These steps include investing in renewable energy, promoting energy efficiency, and phasing out coal.
International Solar Alliance
•The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is an intergovernmental organization of more than 100 countries that lie between
the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
•The ISA's mission is to promote the use of solar energy to achieve energy access, energy security, and climate action in
its member countries
Perform Achieve & Trade (PAT Scheme)
•Helped to reduce India's energy consumption by 92 million tons of CO2 since 2012.
•Designated consumers (DCs) in energy intensive sectors are given specific energy consumption (SEC) reduction
targets.
•DCs that achieve their targets are awarded energy saving certificates (ESCerts).
•ESCerts can be traded with other DCs that have not achieved their targets.

The National Green Hydrogen Mission: The National Green Hydrogen Mission is a government initiative
to make India a global hub for the production, usage, and export of green hydrogen. The mission aims to
achieve this by supporting the development of electrolysers, renewable energy sources, and infrastructure
for the production and use of green hydrogen
PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri-Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan : PM-KUSUM is a
government of India scheme to promote solar, wind, and biomass energy in the agriculture sector.The
scheme provides subsidies for the installation of solar pumps, grid-connected renewable energy plants, and
solarization of grid-connected agriculture pumps.PM-KUSUM aims to make agriculture in India more
sustainable and energy efficient.
Energy conservation Amendment Bill 2022: The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022
mandates non-fossil use by designated consumers.It also introduces carbon trading and expands the
scope of the Energy Conservation Code for buildings.The Act is a major step forward in India's efforts to
promote energy efficiency and conservation
Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles: The FAME scheme is a government of India
initiative to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).The scheme provides subsidies for the purchase
of EVs and for setting up charging infrastructure.The scheme aims to make EVs more affordable and
accessible to Indian consumers
