The
government plans to make all coastal and river ports in inland waterways “completely
green” in five years by using renewable energy, said a senior civil servant on
Thursday 7 March ’24.
"We
will ensure that we find ways of making 100 per cent renewable energy efficient
ports within a period of about five years," said T K Ramachandran,
secretary in the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways at the FICCI Green
Shipping & Ports Conclave 2024 in New Delhi. "If not in international shipping, at least in the coastal and
river inland waterways – that is under our control," he said.
"So, we are working on making that completely green in five years."
The
government has identified three ports, in Kandla, Tuticorin and Paradip, to be
pilots in green hydrogen production, said Ramachandran. Two areas have been identified as thrust areas under the pilot projects.
First is retrofitting of ships to enable them to run on green hydrogen or its
derivatives. The second is the development of bunkering and refuelling
facilities in ports on international shipping lanes for fuels based on green
hydrogen.
Ramachandran said his
ministry has allocated Rs 80 crore to the Shipping Corporation of India to
enable older ships to use methanol as fuel. "Couple of them are already in
the process," he said.
