India’s Ambassador To Germany Pursues Biomass Research Collaboration In Landmark Visit

On Tuesday, India’s Ambassador to Germany, Harish Parvathaneni, embarked on a visit to the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research and the German Biomass Research Centre. His agenda included discussions aimed at fostering enhanced cooperation between India and Germany in the realm of biomass research. Additionally, the exploration of innovative bioenergy solutions and their potential application in India was a key focus of the discussions during his visit.

In a post on X, the Embassy of India in Berlin stated, “#AmbHarishParvathaneni visited @UFZ_de Leipzig – Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research and @DBFZ_de – German Biomass Research Centre and discussed on exploring greater India-Germany cooperation on biomass research & application of the latest bioenergy solutions in India.”

He held talks with Rolf Altenburger, Daniela Thran, Michael Nelles and their colleagues. Taking to X, the Indian Embassy in Berlin stated, “He had engaging conversations with Dr. Rolf Altenburger & @daniela_thraen from @UFZ_de, Dr. Michael Nelles from @DBFZ_de, and their colleagues on current research in bioenergy.”

Since May 2000, India and Germany have maintained a ‘Strategic Partnership’, further solidified with the initiation of Intergovernmental Consultations (IGC) in 2011 at the heads of government level, as stated by the Indian Embassy in Germany. These engagements underscore the robust economic and developmental ties between the two nations.

In a recent development, the German Ambassador to India, Philipp Ackermann, commended the dialogues between New Delhi and Berlin concerning the Green and Sustainable Development Partnership (GSDP). Ackermann highlighted Germany’s establishment of a working group with India focused on green hydrogen, suggesting the potential for India to become an energy exporter in the foreseeable future.

Speaking to ANI, about the GSDP, Ackermann said, “One element of this partnership is certainly looking to energy provision, which is ‘green’. Emission-free energy provision…India, in a couple of years, will be a very interesting country that provides green hydrogen to the rest of the world, so it might be energy exporting.”

“We (Germany) have set up with India together, a working group on green hydrogen, so at some stage Germany can benefit from this export from India,” he said.
