India-Canada partnership can be model for clean energy transition

With a new Strategic Energy Partnership on the table after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to New Delhi, India and Canada now have a chance to turn climate diplomacy into hard infrastructure across solar, hydrogen, wind, and low carbon LNG which has the potential for setting a model for North–South energy cooperation, according to an article.

India has committed to 500 GW of non fossil power capacity by 2030, which requires adding another 40–50 GW of clean capacity every year through the rest of the decade, a figure that is far above historic averages, the article in One World Outlook observes.

During Carney’s trip, Canada and India announced a Strategic Energy Partnership covering LNG, LPG, uranium, solar, hydrogen, and critical minerals, backed by commercial deals worth over (Canadian) $5.5 billion.
