Petroleum Ministry uses dance to harness renewable energy for electric vehicle charging.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas will organise the India Energy Week 2023 in Bangalore from 6th to 8th February 2023. In a buildup event to India Energy Week, the ministry organised a distinct event at India Gate in New Delhi called ‘Dance to Decarbonise’, where renewable energy generated through dance was used to charge electric vehicles.

The one-of-a-kind musical event, with the campaign #DanceToDecarbonise, is expected to build engagement around sustainability by leveraging dance and music.

Cabinet ministers, Members of Parliament, officials from MOP&NG, Ambassadors/Diplomats of foreign countries, CEOs/Senior executives of select industries, EV manufacturers through SIAM, Leading Airlines Officials, Oil PSU associates in Defence, Border Road organisations, PSU associates in Railways, PSU sports persons and Senior officials from Oil PSUs, attended the event.

India is projected to witness the largest increase in energy demand by any country over the next two decades as the economy continues to grow and create opportunities for its people, as well as for the global value chain. Achieving India’s target of net-zero emissions by 2070 needs to be weighed against the country’s growing economy, rising energy requirements, and the implementation of responsible energy sources over transformational energy systems for the future.

The inaugural event - India Energy Week comes at a critical time, with the challenges such as energy security and environmental sustainability impacting long-term energy transition and paths towards decarbonisation. As a rapidly developing country, and soon to be the world’s most populous nation, India’s energy transition will play a pivotal role in global energy markets.

As India’s largest and all-encompassing energy event, India Energy Week brings international energy stakeholders from 100+ countries across the full value chain to Bengaluru. Over 1,000+ exhibiting companies, NOCs, IOCs, NECs, and IECs, and 10 global country pavilions will drive India’s energy transition conversation forward and will connect the energy community to discuss trends, address challenges and collaborate for upcoming opportunities. More than 30,000 energy professionals, 650 exhibiting companies, 8,000 conference delegates, and 500 international speakers will attend India Energy Week, which will cover 80 conference sessions.

With a focus on sustainable solutions, the company has been at the forefront when it comes to collaborating with government ministries, nonprofit organizations, and other implementing agencies to achieve sustainable development.
