PANEL SESSION - Decentralised Renewable Energy: Livelihood Application

Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) -powered livelihood solutions have the potential to reduce and
eventually eliminate the reliance of livelihoods on diesel and can supplement the grid supply. There are
successful pilots and business models of DRE livelihood applications in agriculture, agro-processing, dairy,
poultry, fisheries, tailoring, etc., which have been tested at the field level by various agencies and have the
potential to be replicated in larger quantities. However, this is still only a small fraction of the overall spectrum
of livelihood activities throughout the India. Promotion of DRE livelihoods applications become even more
relevant because of their potential to create sustainable jobs.

This session will deliberate on the ways in which the currently available DRE livelihood applications could
be scaled up, the support needed from the government and various ministries, enable a market-oriented
ecosystem to attract private sector for development and deployment of DRE based livelihood applications
along with easy access to finance.

PARALLEL SESSION 1a - Scaling up Solar Manufacturing in India: Enhancing
India’s energy security

Solar manufacturing in India currently operates largely in the downstream activities of the value chain and
depends on imports of ingots and wafers as raw materials. Heavy reliance on imports of upstream
components results in foreign suppliers having substantial control on the prices, restricting the ability of
domestic manufacturers to cut costs and be price-competitive in the global market. With the emphasis on
creating an AatmaNirbhar Bharat and a focus on manufacturing, certification, and R&D, domestic
companies will be able to grab the opportunity and service not only to meet the domestic demand but
become export competitive too.
This Panel discussion will focus on the short term and long-term interventions required to create a conducive
ecosystem for deployment and manufacturing of next-generation modules like raw material, R&D,
technology etc. Also, challenges on certification, vertical and horizontal integration and limited R&D in the
sector will also be deliberated upon. This session will also lay down the roadmap for the country for solar
manufacturing to become globally competitive including exports

PARALLEL SESSION 1b - Energy Independence: Wind-Solar Hybrid projects
Hybrid Energy is one of the most promising solution for meeting the future energy requirements due to its
more stable and reliable power generation curve. Hybridization of solar and wind energy complement each
other in meeting the demand by addressing the intra-day and seasonal variation in terms of generation
hence resulting in higher availability and higher PLF.

Wind energy, with its generation peak closely matching with the demand peak, when combined with solar
offers a greener alternative to the conventional sources like coal and fossil fuels and drives towards
sustainability. Hybrid also solves the problem of load fluctuation in the grid by compensating for the sudden
drop in solar generation during evening with simultaneous increase in the wind generation hence improving
the health of the grid and decreasing the maintenance expenditure. With technological advancements in
the industry, cost of establishing a hybrid project is expected to decrease further.

This session will allow us to discuss cheaper and sustainable source of power that will boost the growth of
the entire industrial sector, especially MSME players and will help us to build a truly Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

PARALLEL SESSION 2a - Role of Ethanol: Making India Aatmanirbhar
India has preponed the target of achieving 20% ethanol-blending with petrol by five years to 2025 as it looks
to cut dependence on costly oil imports and becoming energy secure. India is 83% dependent on imports
for meeting its oil needs. Doping petrol with ethanol will cut down the import requirement. Also, ethanol
being less polluting fuel, it will cut down carbon emissions. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had
in March 2015 set a target of lowering import dependence in oil by 10 percentage points to 67% by 2022,
when the country will celebrate 75 years of Independence. To meet such an ambitious target, ethanol holds
the key.
This session will deliberate on the scheme recently launched by cabinet for increasing ethanol production
and will debate on the challenges in the implementation of ethanol as a ‘fuel’ in terms of pricing,
procurement, and blending

COUNTRY SESSION: Indo-French perspective on green hydrogen
India and France have a long history of successful partnerships and, in the past decade, renewable energy
has emerged as a core area of our bilateral cooperation. The latter has witnessed many successes. At the
political level, India and France launched the International Solar Alliance in 2015 during COP21 and, on the
operational front, French companies have commissioned or are in the process of developing more than 21
GW of renewable energy projects in India.

India and France also recognize the potential of green hydrogen as a vector for decarbonisation in several
areas of the economy, such as industry or mobility. Green hydrogen could also contribute to increasing
electrical grid stability. In fact, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, announced the
launch of India’s National Hydrogen Mission in November 2020. Similarly, France published a national
strategy for the development of low-carbon hydrogen in September 2020, with a dedicated budget of more
than 7 billion euros to be spent over the next decade. This includes 2 billion euros to be used before 2022
under the economic recovery plan.

The country webinar aims to deepen Indo-French cooperation on green hydrogen by building on the
success of existing political and economic cooperation between India and France in the domain of
renewable energy.
