A | New Delhi, Oct 12 (UNI) India’s energy strategy is mindful of commitments to global commons and green transition and to ensure energy availability, affordability and security to all, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Wednesday.

Addressing a roundtable on “Opportunities in the India-US Strategic Partnership” at Houston, he said 25 per cent of global energy demand growth in the next two decades is going to emanate out of India.

He said India had taken many steps towards low carbon development, including through emerging fuels like hydrogen and bio-fuels.

He emphasised that despite the current challenging energy environment, India’s commitment to energy transitions and its climate mitigation goals, is not going to diminish.

The Minister said India was undertaking major reforms to rationalize and incentivise exploration and production by reducing the no-go areas by 99 per cent opening up approximately 1 million sq km, making good quality geological data available through the National Depository Registry.

In a series of tweets, Puri said the immense potential between the two countries in areas of biofuels, gas based economy, green hydrogen, petrochemicals and upstream sectors is evident and is being furthered by collaboration by the private sector companies.

“Due to reform measures by the Modi government, there is unprecedented interest in Indian E&P by global oil companies,” he said.

As a gesture of commitment of the Indian government to exploration and production sector, the special Coal-bed Methane (CBM) round and offshore bid rounds in the oil and gas capital of the world (Houston) offering over 2.3 sq lakh km, after opening up over 1 million sq km of No Go areas recently, was launched by the Minister, an official statement said.

Puri chaired the roundtable organized by US-India Strategic Partnership Forum. The roundtable brought together over 60 participants from 35 companies including senior leadership of energy majors. Indian Energy PSUs also attended the event.

The discussion was concluded with broad-based support from the participants to push forth with potential partnerships which will bring the best-in-class technologies in both traditional energies and new energies to India.

UNI AKM MR。 MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine defense chief has ordered all defense personnel and the 163,000-member military to refrain from using digital applications that harness artificial intelligence to generate personal portraits, saying they could pose security risks.Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. issued the order in an Oct. 14 memorandum, as Philippine forces have been working to weaken decades-old communist and Muslim insurgencies and defend territorial interests in the disputed South China Sea.The Department of National Defense on Friday confirmed the authenticity of the memo, which has been circulating online in recent days, but did not provide other details, including what prompted Teodoro to issue the prohibition.Teodoro specifically warned against the use of a digital app that requires users to submit at least 10 pictures of themselves and then harnesses AI to create “a digital person that mimics how a real individual speaks and moves.” Such apps pose “significant privacy and security risks,” he said.“This seemingly harmless and amusing AI-powered application can be maliciously used to create fake profiles that can lead to identity theft, social engineering, phishing attacks and other malicious activities,” Teodoro said. “There has already been a report of such a case.”Teodoro ordered all defense and military personnel “to refrain from using AI photo generator applications and practice vigilance in sharing information online” and said their actions should adhere to the Philippines Defense Department’s values and policies.。
