6 Coal Major energy source. Biomass Primary source of cooking energy in > 80% rural households. Electricity All India average shortage ~ 11.6 % Peak Load supply shortage ~ 15 % Base Load supply shortage ~ 9 % Energy security concern Around 75 % of the petroleum supply is imported Even coal is being imported

7 Poor electrification status 78 million households (44%) in the country do not have access to electricity 1,25,000 villages are un-electrified Electricity supply situation is generally poor in even electrified villages

8 Setting up solar lantern charging stations in villages and distributing charged lanterns to households at a nominal fee Providing lanterns to facilitate and advance ongoing activities such as education, health, livelihoods Identifying and training entrepreneurs to operate the charging stations and provide repair & maintenance services Facilitating creation of energy enterprises on supply and demand side German Day 2009 New Delhi

17 India s energy demand is growing, will grow and must grow It has been estimated that by 2031, India s energy needs would be about seven times that of 2001 levels Conventional energy resources will last us so long as they are available an unsustainable choice Need to efficiently and economically meet the energy needs of all the citizens, particularly the rural poor, urgently.

18 The country is already facing constraints in indigenous availability of conventional energy resources be it coal, gas or oil. Government s endeavour for electricity for all by 2012 Per capita electricity consumption: 630 kwh/year To be increased to 1000 kwh/year by 2012.

19 Energy independence At the national level At the village level Energy independence is not only about the risks of fuel supply disruption Energy independence also pertains to fuel price volatility The real risk of volatile energy prices - unpredictable & cause economic activity to decline.

20 Even at village level, use of locally available resources is preferable than using fuels transported from the farflung areas. Renewables are more appropriate as RE resources are diffused and decentralized.

21 Captive power generation Currently 30,000 MW using fossil fuels Industries looking at wind, biomass for captive power generation. Thermal energy Hot air for drying Spices, fish, tea leaves, tobacco, etc. Hot water Leather, dairies, textile, chemicals, etc. Co-generation 15,000 MW potential Sugar, breweries, caustic soda, rice mills, poultry, etc.

22 Sources/Systems Power from Renewables Grid-interactive renewable power Wind Power 45,195 Small Hydro Power (up to 25 MW) 15,000 Cogeneration-bagasse 5,000 Total (in MW) 84,776 Decentralized Energy Systems Family Type Biogas Plant Solar Photovoltaic Programme Solar water Heating Systems Estimated potential 120 lakh 20 MW/Sq.km. 140 million sq.m. collector area

32 Large biomass resource base > 600 million tonnes Modern biomass energy technologies Liquid fuels (ethanol, bio-diesel) Gaseous fuels (producer gas, bio gas) Electricity (small-scale using gasification, large-scale using steam route) Social benefits Employment in rural areas Modern energy services to rural population Potential to green waste lands

34 Combustion of fossil fuels results in: Global emissions Local emissions These emissions impact the physical and human environment Emissions of GHG are responsible for climate change Emissions like SOx, NOx, and particulate matter are detrimental to human health

35 Scenario BAU Energy efficient (in bil. tonnes)

36 Climate change impacts that are likely to affect India (some of which we are already seeing) Coral bleaching and extinction of entire coral ecosystems Extreme weather events Retreating Himalayan glaciers affecting rivers

37 Increase in intensity of draughts and precipitation thus affecting food security and water security Increase in frequency of hot days and multiple-day heatwaves; increase in deaths Sea-level rise affecting human and animal habitat New pressures on economic growth, illiteracy and poverty levels

38 All countries taking bold action in promoting and installing RE systems EU: target of 20% energy from renewables by 2020 Australia: target of 20% energy (GWh of electricity) from renewables by 2020 China: 15% RE in energy mix by 2020, 30% or more by 2050 USA: in the process of finalising a 20% target to be achieved by RE (15%) & EE (5%) India needs to be ambitious in setting a target (in terms of GWh, not GW)

39 Most investments are taking place in Wind, Solar and Biofuels India has good resource potential in all three and can develop these fully There is also a need to give other renewables a push ocean energy

40 India s fossil fuel import dependency would reach around 80% by India has abundant renewable energy resources that can contribute towards reduction in dependency on imported fossil fuels. Renewables assume special significance in India considering its geographic diversity, size and distribution of population.

41 India has to chart out a course of action that meets its growing energy needs in a sustainable and environmentally benign fashion. This calls for a paradigm shift From supply domination to an integrated approach A judicious mix of improvements in operational and end-use efficiencies and renewable energy technologies.
