Shri Goyal was addressing Institute of Energy Economics Japan in Tokyo today and was received by Mr Masakazu Toyoda CEO, Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ).

Taking inspiration from Japanese energy efficiency efforts, Shri Goyal said that Japan has 70-80% of lighting from LEDs, we are targeting 100% LED penetration in India by 2019. The Minister is on a visit to Tokyo, Japan to attend the 8th India-Japan Energy Dialogue on 12-14 January 2016.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Goyal informed that USA & Europe with just 10-12% of the world’s populations have contributed ~50% of GHG emissions while India contributes only 2.5% with 17% of population. He demanded that developed countries should support the developing & emerging economies with green tech, low cost finance to keep our energy costs affordable. “Climate justice demands that the developed world reassess its lifestyle and consumption of electricity & petroleum products”, Shri Goyal added.
