 The Indian government recently became a contracting party to two IEA Implementing Agreement international energy technology R&D programmes, reports the International Energy Agency's Newsletter. The deal concerns electricity demand-side management and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use.
The signing ceremony took place in New Delhi on 22 January in the presence of R.V. Shahi, Secretary, India's Ministry of Power, and Claude Mandil, IEA's Executive Director. Mandil has welcomed these developments as "important steps forward in partnerships between India and the IEA's energy technology community".
The two IEA programmes India has joined are the IEA Demand-Side Management Programme (IEA DSM) and the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG).
IEA DSM and IEA GHG are among more than forty international energy technology R&D programmes within the IEA’s collaborative framework. To enhance awareness of these IEA energy technology research, development and deployment efforts and facilitate broader participation, the IEA's NEET Initiative is linking with the international business community, with policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders in many countries around the world.
