This will also help India achieve half of its energy requirements by further facilitating a reduction of carbon footprint approximately by 45%. 

He also emphasised that deep decarbonisation can be achieved by acquiring a broad-based systems approach across clean energy carriers such as hydrogen, methanol, and renewables.
