Pittsburgh, Sep 23 India's handling of energy-related issues, including the current challenges and those futuristic in nature, is quite impressive, said a top Joe Biden Administration official and stressed that India-US energy dialogue is renamed energy action. At a round-table held on the sidelines of the Global Clean Energy Action Forum here, US Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk said hydrogen is a key area of investment for the Indian government as well as the US. The United States on Thursday announced a USD 8 billion investment in the hydrogen sector. "We should rename (India-US) energy dialogue as energy action, … but even more important is to roll up our sleeves and get to work on all of these technology areas. We're doing a lot of work on our grids, India is doing a lot of work," Turk said. India's Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh is leading the Indian delegation to Global Clean Energy Action Forum being attended by leaders from around the world. At the panel discussion 'The US India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership: Global Lessons and Opportunities' organised by the US India Strategic and Partnership Forum and Observer Research Form America, Turk said the two countries not only complement each other in the field of energy but also can work together in addressing energy-related challenges in other parts of the world and Africa in particular.
