Meanwhile, Science Museum in London has announced a landmark new gallery on Tuesday, which will examine how the world can undergo the fastest energy transition in history to curb climate change, with a subsidiary of the Adani Group being the title sponsor.
‘Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery’ is supported with title funding by Adani Green Energy, India’s leading solar power developer which aims to be the world’s largest renewable power generating company by 2030.
The new gallery, which will open in 2023, was announced as delegates gathered for a ‘Global Investment Summit’ hosted at the museum by British prime minister Boris Johnson.
“We are delighted to support the Energy Revolution gallery, which will explore how society can power the future through low carbon technologies,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Green Energy.
The gallery will explore the latest climate science and the energy revolution needed to cut global dependence on fossil fuels and achieve the Paris targets to limit global warming to around 1.5º C above pre-industrial levels.
