INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

• Fossil fuels such as oil ,natural gas and coal

supply about 85% of energy to industrial,
transportation, commercial and residential sector.

• India’s primary energy consumption was 753.7

million tonnes oil equivalent in 2017.

• However , these fossil fuels will be exhausted

soon as well as global environment is worsening
due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions by
fossil fuels.
COAL
 COAL

1 Introduction

• Coal is the predominant of the three

major fossil fuels.

• Have reserves in over 100 countries.

• Reserve/Production (R/P) ratio of coal is

much higher than that of oil and gas.
 COAL

2 Coal in India

• India has 9.4% of the world reserves (fifth

largest coal reserves in the world.

• India is second largest in terms of coal

consumption after China.

• Coal used in India comprises 10% coking coal

and 90% non-coking coal.
 COAL

3 Uses of Coal

• Coal is mainly used as a fuel for electricity

generation and other industrial processes.

• Ministry of Environment, Forest and

Climatic Change (MoEFCC) issued a
directive in 2016 which requires washing of
coal for supplies to stand-alone power plants
of 100 MW capacity or above located within
500 and 749 km from pitheads.
OIL
 OIL

1 Introduction

• Major demand for oil has come from

transportation sector.

• India has only 0.3% of the world reserves

with an estimated R/P ratio of only 14.4
years.

• India imports over 80% of its crude oil.

 OIL

2 Consumption of Oil

• Transport sector is the largest consumer of

commercial energy (diesel and petrol).

• The road-based mobility is the dominant

mode in passenger transport.
 OIL

4 Role of Government

• Government is promoting non-

conventional vehicles.

• India has adopted Euro 6/VI equivalent

standards that will go into effect in 2020.

• The government is promoting use of

electric and hybrid vehicles.

• Government of India has also proposed

methanol and ethanol blending in petrol.
NATURAL GAS
 NATURAL GAS

1 Introduction

• It is contributing 23.4% of global

primary energy.

• India has only 0.6% of the world

reserves with an estimated R/P ratio of
43.6 years.

• Natural gas is available as:

(i) Domestic Natural Gas
(ii) Re-gasified Liquefied Natural
Gas (R-LNG)
 NATURAL GAS

2 Consumption of gas

• Used in fertilizer industry ,refineries, city

gas distribution and petrochemical
industry.

• CGD sector has distinct segments ―

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) used as
auto-fuel, and Piped Natural Gas (PNG)
domestic, commercial and Industrial
applications.
HYDRO AND
NUCLEAR POWER
 HYDRO AND NUCLEAR POWER

1 Introduction

• Hydropower is renewable source for electricity.

• India has the potential of about 150 GW hydro power and out of which about 43 GW has been
installed.

• The development of nuclear power is today concentrated in a relatively small group of countries
namely China, Korea, India and Russia.

• The nuclear is increasingly seen as a means to add large scale base load power generation while
limiting the amount of GHG emissions.

• India has 22 nuclear reactors in operation in seven nuclear power plants, having a total installed
capacity of 6780 MW or nearly 2% of total installed utility power generation capacity.
ELECTRICITY
 ELECTRICITY

1 Introduction

• India is the world's third largest producer

and consumer of electricity with capacity
of 344 GW as on 31 May 2018.

• India's electricity sector is dominated by

coal-based power plant for meeting about
76.2% of all electricity.
 ELECTRICITY

2 Electricity consumption

• The overall plant load factor (PLF) of all

thermal power plants is only about 65%.

• Industry dominates electricity

consumption (40%) followed by domestic
(24%) and agriculture (18%).
 ELECTRICITY

2 Electricity consumption

• India is very active in renewable energy

development, especially solar and wind
electricity generation.
POLICY
INTERVENTIONS
 POLICY INTERVENTIONS

1 Introduction

• The Government has adopted an energy policy to provide energy security to all its citizens.

• The Electricity Act, 2003 : The Act specifies distributed generation and supply through stand-alone
conventional and renewable energy systems.

• The National Electricity Policy notified in 2005) : recommends providing reliable rural electrification
system; wherever conventional grid is not feasible.

• The Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojna : provide up to 90% capital subsidy for rural
electrification projects using decentralized distributed generation options based on conventional and non-
conventional fuels.
 POLICY INTERVENTIONS

2 Paris Agreement on Climatic Change

• Conference of the Parties (COP 21) was held in Paris under the UN Body, UNFCCC in 2015.

• The agreement reaffirms the goal of keeping average warming below 2 degrees Celsius.

• India has submitted its Intended Nationally Determined

)
Contributions (INDC) with plan,
policies, measures, actions etc. to combat climatic change.
