Key Recommendations:
- Government and private sector collaboration is crucial in promoting the integration of renewable energy sources in industrial operations. The government plays a key role in creating policies and incentives while industries commit to using renewables for their energy needs.
- The government should collaborate with industries to develop a comprehensive national policy for carbon reduction, promoting research and development in green technologies, especially in fields such as geothermal and green hydrogen.
