New delhi, May 16 india and the EU (European Union) have launched two predominant research and innovation initiatives that target marine plastic clutter and waste-to-inexperienced-hydrogen solutions.
The tasks have been released below the India-EU Trade and Era Council (TTC), set up in 2022 by prime minister Narendra Modi and european Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to reinforce the bilateral partnership on alternate and generation.
With a joint investment of Rs 391 crore, the tasks of cognizance on coordinated calls within the regions of Marine Plastic Litter (MPL) and Waste to Inexperienced Hydrogen (W2GH) are co-funded by means of Horizon Europe—the EU's studies and innovation framework program—and the indian government.

Dr. M. Ravichandran, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences, stated, "Marine pollution is a worldwide situation that calls for collective motion. This joint venture will permit us to expand advanced equipment and strategies to shield our marine ecosystems."
The second coordinated name addresses the urgent need for sustainable electricity answers through the development of waste-to-inexperienced hydrogen technology.
