Itanagar: The Director of the Centre for Earth Sciences and Himalayan Studies (CESHS) represented Arunachal Pradesh at a national-level workshop on geothermal energy held recently, highlighting the state’s vast untapped potential in this renewable sector.
The workshop provided a platform for experts, policymakers, and researchers to discuss advancements, challenges, and opportunities in harnessing geothermal energy across India. Arunachal’s participation underscored the state’s strategic interest in exploring clean and sustainable energy sources, particularly in its geologically active Himalayan terrain.
Geothermal energy, known for its reliability and low carbon footprint, is seen as a promising avenue for Arunachal Pradesh, which lies in a seismically active zone with significant subsurface heat resources. The state government views it as a key component in achieving long-term energy security and supporting sustainable development goals.
The CESHS Director’s presence at the event allowed for knowledge sharing, networking with national experts, and learning best practices that could be adapted for projects in Arunachal. Officials believe such engagements will help formulate effective policies and attract investments for geothermal exploration in the region.
This representation reflects Arunachal Pradesh’s proactive approach towards diversifying its energy mix and contributing to India’s renewable energy ambitions.
