by Mr. V.S. Verma Member (Planning) Central Electricity Authority
International Workshop on Carbon Capture and Storage in Power Sector
22-23rd January 2008

2. INDIAN POWER SCENERIO

3. INSTALLED CAPACITY
(AS ON )
Total: MW

4. ALL INDIA PLANT LOAD FACTOR (%) OF THERMAL POWER STATIONS

5. CAPACITY ADDITION PROPOSED FOR 11th PLAN – 78,577 MW
Thermal – 58,644 MW
( Coal – 52,905 MW, Gas- 4,289 MW, Lignite- 1,450 MW)
Additional capacity expected : New Renewables – 14,000 MW
: Captive – 12,000 MW
Latest Feasible capacity : 78327MW

6. 11TH PLAN PROGRAMME (AS ON 17.01.2008)
10th Plan capacity addition only 21,180 MW. About 11,000 MW slippages due to causes attributable to equipment suppliers and contractors.
11th Plan - 78,577 MW Proposed: Latest Total :78327MW
MW capacity already commissioned
MW (77%) under construction
MW - Letter of awards yet to be placed
- Coal linkages available for 96% of coal based plants
- 92% hydro capacity under construction/commissioned
- All gas based projects under execution or gas tied up from local sources
Additional 13,000 MW gas based projects if gas available for long term at reasonable price

7. NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY PLANTS
Installed Capacity at the end of 10th Plan( as on )- 10,855.3 MW.
11th Plan target- 14,000 MW
Wind Power-10,500 MW
Biomass Power,Baggasse Co-generation and Biomass Gasifiers- 2,100 MW
Small Hydro (up to 25 MW)-1400 MW

8. India’s Position No obligation to reduce emissions
Per capita Carbon di-oxide emission of India is amongst the lowest in the world. Contributes around 4% of world total.
Country wise per capita CO2 emission in 2004 (tonnes of CO2/annum)
India
USA
U.K
China
World
Source: UNDP Human Development report 2007/08
There are no commitments from India to reduce emission under Kyoto protocol.

9. Average Emissions from Power Sector
With continuous Effort of Government of India average emission rate is showing declining trend indicating larger commitment
Weighted average emissions rate (tCO2/MWh)

10. Status of Clean Development Mechanism Projects (CDM) in India
National CDM Authority (NCDMA) already given Host country approvals to more than 700 Projects
296 Indian CDM projects already registered with CDM Executive Board out of World Total of 868 projects (35%)
Main Projects: Waste heat recovery, Small Hydro, Biomass based Power Generation, Wind Power and Energy Efficiency improvement in Industries like cement etc.

11. Indian Scenario-CDM Exists high potential of Carbon credits.
Baseline Carbon di-oxide emissions from power sector already in place- First CDM country
Wide spectrum of projects with different sizes
Dynamic, Transparent & Speedy processing by Indian National CDM Authority (NCDMA) for Host Country Approval
Vast Technical Human Resource
Strong Industrial Base
DNA Designated National Authority is place ,MOEF is the nodal agency. DNA having members from all major ministries.

12. GOVERNMENT’S
STRAGTEGY/INITIATIVE FOR
GHG REDUCTION

13. Main Sectors of Green House Gases Emissions
Energy Sector
Transport Sector
Agriculture Sector
Industrial Sector
Power sector is estimated to contribute around 50% of total CO2 Emissions

14. Major Initiatives
Improvement in efficiency and performance of existing units - through renovation and Modernisation schemes
- Partnership in excellence.
- Establishment of Energy Efficiency cells at thermal power stations
Energy Conservation through legislation
Promotion to Renewable Energy Sources
50,000 MW Hydro Initiative launched

15. Major Initiatives Cont…
Publication of Carbon di-oxide Baseline Emission database for Indian Power sector by Central Electricity Authority
Facilitate prospective project Developers for consistent and accurate quantification of Carbon di-oxide emission by their projects thereby reducing the project development cost
Enhance acceptability of Indian CDM projects -Would help expedite the clearance /approval process

16. Major Initiatives Cont…
