BENGALURU: Energy transition cannot happen overnight or without ensuring affordability and energy justice for the poor. That is the message oil minister Hardeep Singh Puri conveyed on Tuesday at the India Energy Week as Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of UAE’s national oil company ADNOC and the man who will lead COP28 climate talks, listened in.
“Unless we survive the present, we will not be able to go into the world of clean and green energy. We have to make sure our transition entails surviving the present and cushioning vulnerable from (energy price) volatility… We are actively conscious of the need to facilitate energy transition and in the interim insulate consumers,” Puri told the ministerial session at the conference.
