This is part two of our interview with Mohua Mukherjee, a Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Previously, she was a development economist and project manager with the World Bank, working in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n

In this second part, we dive into India\u2019s use of oil and natural gas, and why it has continued to purchase these fuels from Russia, even as the West has implemented trade restrictions. We go on to explore India\u2019s unique approach to transitioning mobility to vehicles that run on electricity and CNG. We highlight India's strategy for developing domestic industries in battery manufacturing, solar energy, hydrogen electrolyzers, and other clean technologies. We also take a closer look at India's astonishing progress in expanding electricity access to its vast population. We examine the challenges faced by electricity distribution utilities in the country, and their efforts to enhance efficiency. Finally, we address India's progress on its climate initiatives and the importance of ensuring a \"just transition\" as the nation reduces its reliance on coal-fired power.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out part one of this interview in Episode #199<\/a> for a review of India\u2019s overall energy mix, including a close look at its use of coal, solar, and wind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
