The green way to energy security

India and the United States share a deep and abiding interest in assuring reliable and abundant energy to power our economies and provide a basic foundation for the prosperity of our citizens. We also share a vision of promoting clean energy practices and clean development globally.

In the near-term, the partnership will identify opportunities for working with the private sector to deploy cleaner energy technologies in developing countries while also mitigating air pollution and reducing the greenhouse gas intensity of our economies. We will support rural development by modernising and improving the efficiency of hydro and geothermal power plants and solar, wind and bio-generation technologies. We will promote advanced coal technology research, including clean coal projects like the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle. Additional collaboration is anticipated in reducing emissions by the cement industry and in improving the efficiency of hydrogen fuel.
