The world’s fastest-growing emitter of carbon dioxide could wean itself off coal entirely by 2050, a new report suggests—if the right policies are put in place and prices for both batteries and renewable energy sources continue to fall at the current pace.
Research from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in India suggests that the country can cut its CO2 emissions by up to 10% or 600 million tonnes after 2030, should renewable energy and batteries become less costly than coal within a decade, reports the Financial Times (FT).
