How can India decarbonize its coal-dependent electric power system?
India, the world’s third-largest carbon emitter, must decarbonize its coal-heavy electric grid to meet its 2070 net-zero goal. Researchers including Assistant Professor Dharik Mallapragada, used machine learning and GenX modeling to assess strategies like expanding renewables and retrofitting plants with carbon capture.Mallapragada emphasized, “We need to find pathways that are both economically viable and socially equitable for India’s energy transition,” underscoring the project’s focus on cost and fairness.
