About NDCs
The NDCs are renewable-energy adoption goals set by a country as part of being a signatory to the Paris Agreement.
Countries must regulate their fossil fuel consumption to keep the globe from heating 2°C, and as far as possible, 1.5°C above that in pre-industrial times.
Countries are required to update their NDCs every five years.
Researchers at the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) in Gandhinagar have laid out a roadmap for India to achieve fusion power.
About
The researchers envisage developing India’s first fusion electricity generator, called the Steady-state Superconducting Tokamak-Bharat (SST-Bharat), with a power output 5x the input.
It will be a fusion-fission hybrid reactor with 100 MW of the total 130 MW provided by fission. The estimated construction cost is Rs 25,000 crore.
By 2060, the team aims to commission a 250 MW demonstration reactor with an output-to-input ratio (Q) of 20.
