Greater Noida Expo Centre, 7th November 2012: Energy security
and fast adoption of energy technologies were the key topics of the day at the India Cleantech 2020-REnergizing SMEs’ – a
Cleantech Finland & EBTC joint forum that was held today on the sidelines
of 6th Renewable Energy India Expo. The seminar jointly organized by Cleantech Finland
and European Business and Technology Center (EBTC)was aimed at tackling
initiatives and plans for renewable energy promotion in India.
Distinguished
panelists discussed India’s Cleantech mission 2020 and how the integration of
policy, technology,finances and markets are helping to shape that future beyond
borders. Finland has emerged as a leader for clean technology
products and solutions and India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change has
laid out a target of generating 15% of total power from renewable sources by
2020, starting with 5% in 2010.
“Energy efficiency and energy security are
essential in meeting the demands of a growing economy. Finland is one of the
top nations in the world in environmental performance and energy efficiency and
has a very strong technological know-how in the use of renewable energy
sources.” said Ms Mari
Pantsar-Kallio, from the Ministry of Employment and Economy of Finland, on the
occasion of the Renewable Energy India Expo where she is attending together
with a delegation of leading Finnish energy technology companies.
Rapid
development of clean technologies is crucial and the success will be critically
dependent on how we can leverage new technologies and new innovations. India's energy consumption is the fifth largest in the world and it
exceeds production by 12.7%. Rapid economic and population growth mean that the
need for energy will continue to grow in the future, so the challenge is to guarantee
energy security.
Finland is actively developing cooperation between Finland
and India in promoting clean technology.
Cleantech Finland, a
network of Finnish cleantech experts, and the Finnish Funding Agency for
Technology and Innovation – Tekes are taking part in India’s primary Renewable
Energy event with the aim to create new contacts and identify potential
business and R&D partners.
The
Renewable Energy Expo is a great platform to leverage the expertise and
showcase the best of renewable technologies that benefit the world at large. Being
one of the leading countries in energy efficiency and use of renewable energy
in the world Finland can offer a broad range of expertise in support of India's
growth and development.
