中国石化新闻网讯 据5月8日彭博社报道，根据印度石油部委托发布的一份报告，到2027年，印度应在人口超过100万的城市和污染严重的城镇禁止柴油动力汽车，作为该国绿色转型的一部分。

根据印度前石油部长Tarun Kapoor领导的委员会编写报告显示，建议的禁令涉及四轮车。该委员会还建议，到2035年，逐步淘汰内燃机摩托车、踏板车和三轮涉及四轮车。

印度交通运输部门不再使用汽油和柴油将削弱全球原油需求，但该国向电动汽车的转型落后于其他亚洲大国。

该小组由印度石油部于2021年12月成立，旨在帮助行业制定净零计划。

印度政府数据显示，在截至3月31日的一年中，柴油和汽油占印度石油消费总量的一半多。根据这份题为《绿色转变》的报告，从2024年起，所有新注册的城市运输车辆都应该是电动的。

该小组还提出了其他建议，包括到2030年实现25%家庭用电做饭的目标，这将有助于减少对进口液化石油气的依赖，并促进可持续航空燃料的使用。

由于工业和电力部门是印度排放的主要来源，可再生能源发电、供暖电气化和能源效率被视为绿色转型的关键途径。然而，报告称，印度拥有丰富的煤炭资源，在未来15到20年内，完全停止使用煤炭或许是不可能的。

India Oil Panel Urges Diesel Vehicle Ban in Big Cities by 2027

India should ban diesel powered vehicles in cities with over a million people and highly polluted towns by 2027 as part of the nation’s green transition, according to a report commissioned by the oil ministry.

The recommended ban relates to four-wheeled vehicles, according to the report compiled by a committee headed by former Indian Oil Secretary Tarun Kapoor. The panel also suggested phasing out motorcycles, scooters and three-wheelers — or tuk-tuks — with internal combustion engines by 2035.

The shift away from gasoline and diesel in India’s transport sector would dent global crude demand, but the nation’s transition to electric vehicles is lagging behind others such as the certain big country in Asia. The panel was established in December 2021 by the country’s oil ministry to help industry develop net zero plans.

Diesel and gasoline accounted for just over half of India’s total oil consumption during the year ended March 31, according to government data. From 2024 onwards, all new registrations for city-delivery vehicles should be electric, according to the report, titled “The Green Shift.”

An oil ministry spokesman didn’t immediately comment on the next step following the release of the report and its recommendations.

The panel made other suggestions including a target for 25% of households to use electricity in cooking by 2030, which would help cut reliance on imported liquefied petroleum gas, and to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel.

Since the industrial and power sectors are a key source of India’s emissions, renewable generation, electrification of heating and energy efficiency are seen as key pathways to a green transition. However, the nation has an abundance of coal and it may not be possible to discontinue its use totally for the next 15 to 20 years, according to the report.
