The National Solar Mission The National Solar Mission is a major initiative of the Government of India and State Government to promote ecologically sustainable growth while addressing India’s energy security challenge. It will also constitute a major contribution by India to the Global efforts to meet the challenges of Climate Change

Main targets for National mission The objective of the National Mission is to establish India as a global leader in solar energy through: 20,000MW of installed solar generation capacity by Solar cost reduction to achieve grid parity by 2022.

Proposed Milestones for MP Phase-I Year Grid Connected :75MW off grid:2MW Phase-II Year Grid Connected :150MW off grid:5MW Phase-III Year Grid Connected :750MW off grid:25MW

Sustained economic growth at 8 to 9% requires that by the year 2012, we must have installed capacity at a level of over 2,00,000 MW and by 2050 at the level of 10 Lakh MW i.e. a trillion or Terra Watt – This poses a Terra watt challenges for India.

Green House Gas level rise to a current level of 390 ppm and consequent climate change, floods and draughts has affected 260 million people between 2000 and 2004 through natural calamities, of these, 98% were in developing nations. Developed countries with population of 15% of world population have the share of CO 2 emissions at 50%. CO 2 level has risen to 390 ppm from 1975 level of 330 ppm. There is so much momentum in the system that we will certainly double CO 2 level by end of the century. Global temperature rise by 3 to 4 0 C will cause displacement of over 330 million people in developing world.

China and India are projected to account for 30% of the world’s increase in energy consumption between and 92% of increase in coal use. World Green House inventory is over 29,000 Million tones per annum (MTPA) with US over 20% (India with total emission of about 1400 MTPA is only at 4.8 %.) Coal is going to remain main stay for power generation in at least next Three decades for India (99,861 MW Coal based generation out of 1,56,092 MW total power installed capacity)

Green House inventory for India for Energy Sector (Million Tonnes of CO 2 ) Energy SectorCO 2 CO 2 equivalent (CO 2 +CH 4 +NO X ) Total Emission834 (58% of total) 928 (64% of total) Source: IAE: 1999

Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased significantly since industrial revolution – Carbon dioxide +30%; Methane +100%;Nitrous oxide +15% – Greenhouse gas concentrations projected to reach double pre-industrial levels by about 2060 Many greenhouse gases remain in atmosphere for a longtime (decades to centuries) Atmospheric Concentration of GHG increasing

The Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed: The temperature of the earth’s surface has increased by 0.76˚C over the past century. It is very likely (more than 90˚ probability) that most of this global warming was due to increased GHGs(green house gases ), resulting from human activity. Eleven of the last 12 years ( ) were among the 12 warmest years on the instrumental record of global surface temperature. Mountain glaciers are receding and snow cover has declined in both the hemispheres. Best estimate regarding the future changes in climate by 2099 for low scenario is 1.8 ” and for high scenario is 4.0 ” sea level rise

Tera-watt Challenge for synergy in Energy & Environment A terawatt Challenge of 2012 for India To give over one billion people in India the minimum Electrical Energy they need by 2010, we need to generate over 0.2 terra watt (oil equivalent to over 3 million barrels of oil per day) and 1 TW by 2050,primarily through Advanced fossil fuel technologies like CCTs for limiting GHG emission levels By 2020 our mix of generation would have the Peak in Thermal, certainly it would be the Green Thermal Power: Thermal326,000MW Renewable & Hydro 104,000 MW Nuclear 20,000 MW Total450,000 MW

Energy Security – Indian Perspective AGENDA FOR THE ENERGY GENERATION SECTOR: Increased use of Advanced Fossil Fuel Technology. Promote CCT in countries like India & China where coal is main stay fuel for Power Generation. Reduce Atmospheric Pollution from Energy Generating Systems. Enhance productivity through Advanced Fossil Fuel Technology. Adoption of Renewable Energy Technologies in Rural Sector

Energy for the Earth Planet- Non-CO 2 Options World Generates 15 Terawatt of Energy (the US - about 3TW, India TW) today to support 10 billion world population. This is Equivalent to230 million barrels of oil /day. By 2050 it is projected to need about 35 TW. The world would need about 20 TW of non-CO 2 energy to stabilize CO 2 in the atmosphere by mid century. Among the non-CO 2 options, it is possible that solar is the only one that can meet this Terawatt challenge and at the same time contribute to the reduction of climate change, with about 125,000 TW of global incident sunlight.

Energy for the Earth Planet- Non-CO 2 Options…Contd. Key scenario for stabilizing CO 2 in the atmosphere during 21 st century turn on the viability of CO 2 sequestration. This implies CO 2 capture, storage and then pumping to aquifers, to stay for millennia. In any case minimum 10 TW is needed within a decade from Breeder Nuclear, Clean Coal Technologies (CCTs) and Renewables. Biomass CO 2 sequestration could also meet this challenge to some extent.

There are three main techniques for Capture of CO 2 in Power Generation Post-combustion capture Pre-combustion capture Oxy-fuel combustion

Carbon dioxide can be removed from flue gas and waste gas streams produced from carbon usage by various methods. 1. Absorption with a solvent, 2. Membrane separation, 3. Cryogenic fractionation, 4. Adsorption using molecular sieves. Capture of CO 2 from absorption method is most widely used technique. Techniques for removal of CO 2 from Flue Gas

Absorption Approach Using Chemical Solvents CO 2 can be removed from flue gases using solvents that rely on chemical or physical absorption. The most common solvents used for neutralizing CO 2 in chemical absorption systems are alkanol-amines such as mono-ethanol-amine (MEA), di-ethanol-amine (DEA), and methyl-di-ethanol-amine (MDEA). Chemical absorption with MEA solvent is the most common capture technology, is readily available and can be integrated into new plants. Prior to CO 2 removal, the flue gas is typically cooled, then treated to reduce particulars and other impurities. It is then passed in to absorption tower where it comes in contact with the absorption solution.

India’s position with regard to Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) is very clear. We don’t make any commitment at this stage regarding deployment of CCS technologies. India advocates very strongly the Carbon Capture & Sequestration. Some of the demo pilot projects include. -Pilot project on Geological CO2 sequestration in basalt rock formation. The question of adoption of CCS will depend on this technology being cost effective. -Projects under DST sponsored National Program on Carbon Sequestration (NPCS) Carbon Capture & Sequestration

CO 2 mitigation Options: Case of Electricity Sector Coal: Dominates the electricity sector today Fuel switching (Coal NG) Conventional Plants + Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) (Post –Combustion CO 2 Capture) Gasification/ Reforming + CCS (Pre-Combustion CO 2 Capture) Oxyfuel Combustion + CCS

‘Kyoto’ Back-ground 1992: United Nations Framework convention on Climate Change, adopted by most of the countries at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro 1997:Kyoto Protocol was adopted An important step towards stabilization of GHG concentration to prevent dangerous impacts on climate system Industrialized countries are required to reduce their combined GHG emissions by at least 5.2% compared to 1990 levels by the first commitment period( ) 2005:Kyoto protocol entered into force Met 55 / 55%condition, after ratification by the Russian Federation Is now fully operational

Kyoto Protocol Mechanism Joint Implementation (Article 6): Emission reduction arising from project investment in other developed countries (with own emission targets) Clean Development Mechanism (Article 12): Emission reduction arising from project investments in developing countries (don't have emission targets) Emission Trading (Article 17) Portions of developed country’s emission allowances can be bought ? Sold in international C trading market. A Supplement to domestic action.

Strategic Response Prevention - Energy Conservation - Green practices, change in lifestyle Abatement - GHG emission mitigation through : Improved energy efficiency Cleaner energy sources / technologies Preventing deforestation Reducing methane emission (by improved Waste management practices)

Where is CDM Applicable ? Renewable Energy: Wind, Solar, Biomass, Hydel power Fuel switching: Fossil fuels to green fuel Energy efficiency measures related to: Boilers,pumps,turbines,cooling system etc. Introduction of new, efficient power generation technologies; Reduction in technical T&D losses Improved waste management practieses:e.g.Capturing landfill methane for power generation Transport: Modal shift, fuel switch Forestry:Afforestration

CDM: Disqualifiers Emission reduction from Nuclear facilities A diversion of official development assistance (ODA) from Annex – I countries Any other type of sequestration activities apart from afforestation and reforerstation!

CDM- A WIN-WIN SITUATION Industrialized countries (AI) Developing countries (Non-AI) CDM project activity  To assist in achieving sustainable development  To assist in meeting their emission limitation commitments Project proponents Investors (private business, governments, NGOs)

What makes a project activity a CDM project activity? GHG time “What would have happened” situation (fictitious situation) = baseline CDM project activity CERs GHG = Greenhouse gas emissions CERs =certified emissions reduction Start of CDM project activity

CDM Projects Status Total projects registered by EB – 1000 Equivalent CERs – 340 Million Projects from India – 47 (~ 30%) Total Baseline Methodologies approved > 50 Majority of the projects: Biomass – energy Majority of CERs generated: HFC oxidation

Typical CDM Projects Categories in India Renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, biomass, hydro) Fuel switching (e.g. oil to gas, coal to gas) Energy efficiency (e.g. lighting, insulation, process optimization) Waste processing (e.g. land fill gas extraction, waste incineration) Waste heat recovery projects including power generation Energy saving by elimination of reheating processes Thermal oxidation of HFC Afforestation

Towards 2012 and Beyond Continue to mobilize private sector participation in the CDM, willing to respond positively to CDM criteria Encourage CDM participation of large public sector emitters (e.g. power & transport sector) possibly in sector CDM arrangements Information infrastructure to support a functioning market – e.g. baseline for major sectors like Power, Cement, Iron and Steel Explore opportunities for sector trading schemes (Sectoral & Programmatic CDM ) Integration of GHG emission reduction activities and national development programmes

IGCC TECHNOLOGY... Gasification of coal is the cleanest way of utilization of coal, while combined cycle power generation gives the highest efficiency. Integration of these two technologies in IGCC power generation offers the benefits of very low emissions and efficiencies of the order of 44-48%. The comparative indices show that in case of IGCC, emission of particulate, NOx and SOx are: 7.1%, 20% and 16%, respectively, of the corresponding emissions from PC plant. - Three major areas of technology that will contribute to improvements in IGCC are :  hot gas de-sulfurisation  hot gas particulate removal  advanced turbine systems

IGCC

Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) technology has selectively been applied in India for firing high sulphur refinery residues, lignite, etc. CFBC Technology is superior to PC Power Plant Technology: Lower NOx formation and the ability to capture SO 2 with limestone injection the furnace.
