Exclusive: Russia, Saudi oppose G20 proposal to triple green energy capacity – Reuters

BAMBOLIM, India, July 21 (Reuters) - Major fossil fuel producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, on Friday opposed a proposal to triple G20 countries' renewable energy capacity by 2030, three sources said.

China, the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, as well as coal exporters South Africa and Indonesia, also opposed the plan. India, as current holder of the G20 presidency, took a neutral stand on the issue, said the sources - two of whom attended the G20 meeting.
