 The Major Contradictory Challenges
Faced by Developing world

• Quest for increased Generation

capacity - Terawatt Challenge

• Climate Change
- rising GHG level
• Continued focus on coal based
generation

 Can we address the following
issues by roping in renewables?
• GDP growth must be sustained and lack of
energy availability should not pull it down.
• Exchange crisis should not recur due to
bulging Oil import bills
• Climate change is a concern and countries
with low per capita income are more
vulnerable to the effects of climate change
The answer seems to be ….yes.

 Issues before the Energy
Planners
• Promotion of Clean Coal Technologies
• Technology break thoughts in the areas like CO2
capture and Clean Coal Technologies
• Development of low cost solar photo voltaic cells
• Bringing Energy Efficiency & Energy Conservation on
the top of the National Agenda
• Promotion of Carbon Trading on the strength of Energy
Efficiency and Green Environment initiatives.
• Base line methodologies for variety of Clean and
Green Technologies need to be redefined.
 Issues before the Energy
Planners
• There is an urgent need to adopt CDM in Mining Technology and clean
coal technology for meeting the energy security
• The use of ultra clean coal in gas turbines directly will enhance efficiency
of power generation to 52-55% from the existing efficiency of pulverized
coal power generation of 30-38%
• There is an urgent need for power plant optimization by using the least
amount of energy to provide services and coming down energy losses
• In the field of energy production, the choice should be made to adopt less
emission producing and more energy efficient technologies such as
carbon sequestration, integrated gasification combined cycle, fuel cell
etc.
• Clean development mechanisms can meet the energy security in a
sustainable manner.
CONTD…

By 2020 the nation should achieve comprehensive energy security

through enhancement of our oil and gas exploration and
production worldwide.

By the year 2030, India should achieve energy independence

through solar power and other forms of renewable energy;
maximize the utilization of hydro and nuclear power and enhance
the bio-fuel production through large-scale energy plantations like
Jatropha.

We need to evolve a comprehensive renewable energy policy for

energy independence within a year. This should address all
issues relating to generation of energy through wind, solar,
geothermal, bio-mass and ocean
Contd..
• The strategic goals for Energy Independence by 2030
would thus call for a shift in the structure of energy
sources. Firstly, fossil fuel imports need to be
minimized and secure access to be ensured.

. Maximum hydro and nuclear power potential should

be tapped. The most significant aspect, however
would be that the power generated through renewable
energy technologies may target 20 to 25% against the
present 10%.
• It would be evident that for true Energy Independence,
a major shift in the structure of energy sources from
fossil to renewable energy sources is mandated.
