The proposals, aimed at promoting green Hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels, will be made effective through amendments to the 2001 Energy Conservation Act.
The Centre has proposed new rules to lower emissions and fight climate change, including setting a minimum share of renewable energy to be used by its industries, the power ministry said on Saturday.
The proposals, aimed at promoting green Hydrogen as an alternative to the fossil fuels currently used by industries, will be made effective through amendments to the Centre's 2001 Energy Conservation Act.
The proposed amendments would facilitate the development of a carbon market in India and prescribe minimum consumption of renewable energy either as direct consumption or indirect use through grid, the power ministry said in a statement.
"This will help in reduction of fossil fuel based energy consumption and carbon emission to the atmosphere," the ministry said.
