NEW DELHI: The refrain to justify not moving away from fossil fuels has been that it would put people out of work. Coal and petroleum are big employers.

But a new study has found that phasing out fossil fuels would actually add 80 lakh energy sector jobs across the world by 2050, of which over 5.4 lakh would be in India.
