Carbon Financing: Carbon Financing: New Business Opportunities

The document provides an overview of a training session on carbon financing and climate change. It discusses: 1) The history of mankind's use of energy and how it has led to geopolitical issues, corporate competition, and social conflicts over time. 2) The importance of energy for development and how standards of living are directly associated with energy use. 3) India's current energy situation including its low per capita energy consumption and electricity shortages, as well as the institutional complexities of its energy sector.

HISTORY OF MANKINDS USE OF ENERGY


The hunt for Th h t f energy security has b it h brought out several i ht t l issues i in Modern World System (Europe, 16th centaury) such as:
Geopolitical Rivalries Energy shift Corporate Competition (industrial innovation and predictable growth) Social Conflicts

Modern society continues to rely largely on fossil fuels to preserve economic growth and to maintain the today's standard of living. Industrialization consumes large amount of energy Coal panic (1860s in Britain) has resulted in situation when Britain had to bring in the more resources under their control by military actions. This created a new world geopolitics. Oil Panic during 1970s has triggered two type of actions world wide i.e. Military control or Production Maximization.

ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT


Energy - An essential ingredient for development
The co-relation between Human Development and level of Energy use is well established Human development (on path of MDG) requirement are targeted to move to longevity of life and improving the living levels Standard of living Standard-of-living criteria largely and directly associated with energy use and is measured in
Accessibility (ex. as vehicle miles traveled) Comfortably (ex. building-climate-conditioning)

Thus the Global Energy consumption is bound to increase as all countries have priority to maintain or improve the standards of living Electrical energy consumption is more significant for Human development than that the total primary energy consumption

ENERGY INTENSITY AND ELECTRICITY INTENSITY

Percapita consumption of electricity is close to or less than 4,000 kWh indicate an in-efficient i ffi i t conversion of electricity and energy to GDP. i f l t i it d t GDP Energy intensity is a measure of how well energy is converted to income. Low values of Energy Intensity are preferred Most common unit of energy intensity is thousands of Btu per purchasing parity dollar (MBtu/PPP$). Similarly, electricity intensity is represented as kilowatt-hours per purchasing parity dollar (kWh/PPP$).

CONCLUSIONS ON ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT-CLIMATE CHANGE


Energy use is a p gy primary source of CO2 emissions y History of human development is marked with the change in type of energy use from manual work to non-commercial (wood and biomass) to commercial energy t d (electricity). i l today ( l t i it ) Although all fossil fuel (oil, coal, gas) remained to be main energy sources, sources there is significant shift from coal to oil or gas has been observed. Use of geothermal, solar and wind is observed to be increasing in last g , g two decades Energy (Generation) Sector is the largest contributor of CO2 emissions Among the various primary energy sources, the coal is major CO2 emitter OECD countries remained to be major energy guzzlers (consuming about ti i dt b j g g l ( i g b t half of world energy) and the CO2 emitter (about 50 % of CO2) as compare to their population.

CONCLUSIONS ON ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT-CLIMATE CHANGE


Due to D t rapid growth of developing countries and emerging economies (OME, id th f d l i ti d i i (OME EITs), their share in energy consumption and in CO2 emission is likely to grow faster than the developed countries (including OECD) In order to achieve the 450 PS scenario (i.e. CO2 concentration below 450 ppm) the share of coal, oil and gas need to be brought down and that of nuclear and renewable has to increase. increase

It is anticipated that the largest increase in world energy demand over the next 25 50 years will come f t 25-50 ill from d l i g countries, subject t availability developing ti bj t to il bilit and affordability. The sectors such as rural and urban residential consumers; industrial sector and others associated services and transport will form the major part of expected increase in energy demand.

CONCLUSIONS ON ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT-CLIMATE CHANGE

The intricate coupling of Human development with the energy use, is poses a challenge to policy makers for meeting the human development goals (MDGs) while at same time reducing the energy and carbon intensity of economic growth The economic growth will remain overriding priority for developing countries. Developing countries like India today have low energy intensity due to large demography, however meeting the high energy requirements in future is a challenging task which calls for balancing import-export, domestic resource use economic growth management and sustainable use, development

Scientific evidence indicates that the Earths climate is rapidly changing, predominantly as a result of increases in greenhouse gases caused by human activities.
