2. The Major Contradictory Challenges Faced by Developing world
Quest for increased Generation capacity - Terawatt Challenge
Climate Change
- rising GHG level
Continued focus on coal based generation

3. Government of India’s National Missions
National Solar Mission 2009
National Renewable Energy Mission
“A target of 10% of Renewable Energy by 2012”
National Mission on Combating Climate Change through Green & Clean Power
National Bio-diesel Mission
National Mission of Hydro Potential Exploitation
National Mission on ‘Clean Coal Technologies’ for Mega Power Generation

4. CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED BY INCREASED GHG EMISSION
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 CO2 emissions at 50%.
CO2 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 CO2 level by end of the century.
Global temperature rise by 3 to 4 0C will cause displacement of over 330 million people in developing world.

5. China and India are projected to account
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 (87,093 MW Coal based generation out of 1,63,669 MW total power installed capacity)

7. 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 2012, 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:
Thermal 326,000MW
Renewable & Hydro 104,000 MW
Nuclear ,000 MW
Total ,000 MW

8. Energy for the Earth Planet- Non-CO2 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-CO2 energy to stabilize CO2 in the atmosphere by mid century.
Among the non-CO2 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.

12. 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

33. Broad area of Research:
CO2 SEQUESTRATION (Under the National Program on Carbon Sequestration – NPCS of DST)
Sub Area – Project Title: Modeling & Simulation of Carbon Recycling Technology Through Conversion of CO2 Into Multipurpose Fuels.
Objectives of the Proposal:
1. To establish a pilot plant for CO2 sequestration and conversion in to multipurpose fuel.
2. To develop Zero Emission Technology Projects and recycle Carbon-di-oxide to add value to clean energy projects by adopting two pathways:
Sequester CO2 and convert the same into fuel molecules.
Use CO2 to grow micro algae to produce Bio-diesel and
Methane Gas.
3. To develop mathematical & chemical models for CO2 sequestration, Hydro Gasifier, Catalytic conversion & Algae pond systems.

39. THE ROAD MAP
Government of India has declared its policy on CO2 abatement by the announcement and adoption of the ‘National Action Plan on Climate Change’.
It has also made voluntary commitment at the Copenhagen Summit that the Country shall decrease its Carbon Intensity by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050.
The bulk of CO2 is emitted by the Thermal Plants in the Power Sector. For EPA regulations to be implemented there have to be a road map as to how this can be done without major impact on the cost or efficiency of the Thermal Plants

40. Solution lies in…
The thermal plants in India have a thermal efficiency of 35% and an emission ratio of 0.90Kg/kWh of CO2 emissions as published by CEA. The reduction of 20% intensity would translate to a decrease of 0.20Kg/kWh of CO2 emissions i.e. below 0.70Kg/kWh CO2 emissions by 2020.
This decrease is possible by a combination of abatement and recycling measures. The CO2 reduction by an Amine system of 30% CO2 capture would mean a decrease of Thermal Efficiency by 2%

41. Recycling of CO2
The CO2 so captured needs to be either compressed to be used in Enhanced Oil Recovery or recycled. The better option would be that the same be recycled.
The system additions to the existing thermal plants would be a two stage gasifier to use up this CO2. This would help recycle the Carbon of the CO2 and the treated/ converted CO would be re-fed into the Boiler by means of a Gas Burner.
This two stage gasifier would be made of a Gasifier Chamber where the Coal is gasified by an Oxy Fuel Process and this heated Gas fed into the second Reactor where treated Carbon is fed to react with the CO2 being fed from the Amine stripper. The CO2 so fed would be converted into CO having a LHV of 2414 kcal/Kg or 64.37% coal equivalent in terms of the Indian Coal having an average heat value of 3750 kcal/Kg

42. Application Potential:
Long Term
Deployment of the Technology to Actual Power Plants of NTPC
through BHEL / TOSHIBA or any other major player
Immediate
Green Energy Technology Centre (GETC) being set-up for Teaching
& Research (M. Tech & PhD)
Future action plan:
Efforts are underway to extend the scope of the process by incorporation a Coal gasifier and recycling of carbon through collaborative research and Distributive Research Initiatives (DRI) with Research Organizations and Power Industries.

43. Carbon Capture & Sequestration
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)
