The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the US Department of Energy held a meeting recently to launch the new US-India Renewable Energy Technology Action Platform (RETAP) under Strategic Clean Energy Partnership.
The RETAP was established to further bilateral collaboration with a result-oriented, time-bound technology focus.
DOE and MNRE outlined an Renewable Energy Technology Action Platform (RETAP). Work is guided by five themes:
- Research and Development,
- Piloting and Testing of Innovative Technologies,
- Advanced Training and Skill Development,
- Policy and Planning for Advancing RET and
- Enabling Technologies, Investment, Incubation and Outreach programmes.
RETAP’s initial focus is to be on green/clean hydrogen, wind energy, and duration energy storage and to explore geothermal energy, ocean/tidal energy and other emerging technologies as mutually determined in the future.
