Can energy play any role?

• Energy – a reference point –
– serves to meet growing demand of the
population.
– Improves quality of life
– Addresses important environmental issues viz.
climate change etc.
– Impact on HDI.
• Virtually all these goals are dependent on
Energy, the golden thread connecting ALL.
5 for
Centre
Need for a relook into energy space
• In India (and globally too)

– > 63% electricity generation using coal
– 7-10% use Oil & gas
– <4% through Nuclear Fuels
– 1-3% using biomass & other sources
– Transportation sector is dependent (mainly) on Oil & Gas.
• Environmental concerns are rising.
• Cost of sources ( and hence products)???
• Deliverability ???????
6 for
Centre
• The extraction, transport, refining and use of

fossil and nuclear fuels result in
– damage to land from mining;
– pollution of air and water;
– consumption of vast amounts of fresh water,
– loss of biodiversity;
– risk of nuclear accidents;
– global climate change;
– Negative impacts on human health.
7 for
Centre
• Quantity of fossil fuels is limited.

• Environmental pollution is growing.
• Human life is effected adversely.
• Demand for growth is ever increasing and
resolved at UN too.
• Newer Sources of Energy need be explored to
meet social & economic demands for
development.
8 for
Centre
Role of Energy in Development

• Energy plays an important in supporting all
activities.
• Simultaneously, it is the principal provider of
greenhouse gas emissions (harmful for health
and leads to environment pollution).
• A balanced view is needed to be correlated with
the HDI values in order to make compatible
climatic policies and development strategies.
9 for
Centre
Role of Energy in Development

• Development results in social and economic
transformations.
• Economic development can be experienced in 3 ways:
– Changes regarding the welfare of individuals in
society viz. income per capita and quality of the
environment.
– Changes in education, health, quality of life by
improving skills, capabilities, knowledge.
– Changes in dependence of society on others.
10 for
Centre
Role of Energy for Sustainable Development

• Development is impossible without Energy.
• Sustainable development is not possible
without sustainable Energy availability.
• Environment needs a careful look while
attending to development.
11 for
Centre
Solution – Renewable Energy

• Why?
– provides energy services e.g. lighting and electricity,
heating and cooling, mechanical energy and mobility.
– additional socio-economic benefits viz. lower
dependence on grid, economy etc.
– Easy access.
– Economy of operation.
– Energy Security.
– No negative impact on environment and health.
– Safer, reliable and affordable.
12 for
Centre
Drivers for Renewable Energy

• Three main categories:
– Economic Drivers (viz. investment and industry
turnover; employment in the renewables industry;
impact of reduced fossil fuel imports; and overall
net change in GDP and employment from
renewable energy technology deployment);
– Environmental damages
– Political and Security Drivers
13 for
Centre
Environmental Drivers
• Reduce pollution and improve public health.
• Modern renewable policies aim at reducing use of
biomass, kerosene and other fossil fuels for cooking
as well as the need to reduce local deforestation.
• Reduce fresh water use.
• Protection against volatile fossil fuel prices.
• Reduce reliance on nuclear power.
• Mitigate climate change (combined with energy
efficiency).
14 for
Centre
Economic Drivers
• A number of economic advantages can be drawn using
renewable technologies:
– Cost of renewable energy is on a rapid decline.
– Health care expenses can be avoided.
– Costs related to global change are avoided.
– Improve balance of trade and reduce price volatility.
– Supply risk is mitigated.
– National Energy Policy and the Energy Action plan are being
enacted to improve the national economy and the lives of its
inhabitants through renewable energy deployment.
15 for
Centre
Economic Drivers
• Create jobs (positive impact) and develop new
industries and skills.
• Policies help strengthen local economies, and
to stem or reverse depopulation and brain
drain.
• Promotes skill development activities.
• Building local capacity, fostering innovation,
and attracting investment in the process.
16 for
Centre
Economic Drivers
• Meet rapidly rising energy demand.
– Modularity of many renewable technologies
– Relative speed of implementation,
– Rapidly falling costs (particularly for solar PV and
wind power.
17 for
Centre
Economic Drivers
• Provide access to energy and alleviate
poverty:
– In remote areas, electricity generated with
renewable technologies is generally less costly
than the alternatives, including imported diesel
fuel and grid extension.
– In many areas it may be the only viable option,
economically or otherwise, within any reasonable
timeframe.
18 for
Centre
Economic Drivers
• Alleviate fuel poverty and advance rural
economic development.
• Keep energy revenue local – local renewables
result in plugging outflow of economy.
• Increase tax revenue – local levies from local
project owners.
• Reduce public health costs – due to burning of
fossil fuels and transport fuel.
19 for
Centre
Political And Security Drivers

• Energy is critical to a healthy economy and
energy services can sustain or improve
people’s quality of life. Hence, the
uninterrupted physical availability of highly
reliable and reasonably affordable energy
products and services is critically important to
economic and political security.
20 for
Centre
Political And Security Drivers

• Improve energy security:
– Many conventional fuels rich nations are politically
unstable and might stop the flow of supply at any
time.
– Though dependence on fossil fuel cannot be denied,
renewables provide an alternative.
– To address energy security and access to energy,
economic development, and environmental and
climate goals, governments support an energy system
through renewable energy and energy efficiency.
21 for
Centre
Political and Security Drivers

• Increase reliability, sustainability and resilience.
– Distributed renewable energy systems are less prone to
large-scale failure;
– Power grid and other energy systems turn more resilient to
a variety of threats, including weather-related impacts of
global climate change;
– Distributed power can be available locally (on rooftops, or
from wind power projects in a city’s harbor), so there is
less concern about transporting power to demand areas.
– Renewable installations achieve high levels of energy
security in the event of conventional grid outages.
22 for
Centre
Political and Security Drivers

• Ensure energy democracy (retain ownership of
the project, acquire jobs, skills, training and
economic development that result from it).
– Local control over energy production and
distribution, is playing an increasingly important role
in driving local targets and policies to support
renewable energy, often in combination with energy
efficiency improvements, particularly at the local
level.
– Reduce energy poverty.
23 for
Centre
Impact of Renewable energy

• No precise method for impact assessment so
far.
• Local implementation of projects has its own
complications.
• Varying experiences from different
communities.
• Minimal efforts to collect and analyze data so
far on sustainability.
24 for
Centre
Environmental Impact
• According to IRENA, an estimated 3.1 Giga tons (Gt)

of CO2-equivalent (CO2-e) of emissions was avoided
worldwide in 2012 through the use of renewable
electricity (primarily hydropower).
• Renewable energy’s share of global electricity
production was an estimated 23.7 %, with
hydropower accounting for about 16.6 % in end
2015.
• Globally, solar and wind energy are the major
contributors for reducing carbon emissions.
25 for
Centre
Economic Impacts
• Reduction in air pollutants and health costs.
• Reduced (direct) costs associated with the consumption of
fossil fuels, including fuel imports and environmental and
health impacts.
• Load shedding – reduced.
• Renewables helped to create jobs worldwide, with global
employment in the sector reaching an estimated 8.1 million
in 2015.
• The leading countries for renewable energy jobs in 2015
were China, Brazil, the United States, India, Japan, and
Germany.
26 for
Centre
Political and Security Impacts

• Energy security fosters political and economic
security, and vice versa.
• Renewables need be supplemented with
conventional electricity supplies.
• Risks related to unreliable supply needs to be
mitigated.
• Citizens involvement is ensured in investment,
management and operations. Ensures projet
success.
27 for
Centre

• Focus towards energy consumption and energy efficiency established.
• Reduced dependence on a limited number of energy producers and
broader distribution of assets and influence within the energy
system.
• Reinvestment of energy money in the community rather than its
migration into global financial flows (through imports of fuels,
electricity, etc.)
• Local energy needs are more likely to be met.
• Local value creation through use of local services.
• Local job creation and skills acquisition.
• Increased economic resilience of community members through
diversified sources of income.
28 for
Centre

• Innovation stemming from volunteerism and
free exchange of knowledge.
• Increased pool of financiers.
29 for
Centre
COST – BENEFIT Analysis

• The challenge:
– To accurately identify and quantify the myriad benefits
and costs of pursuing a policy for a complete transition to
renewables;
– To predict and account for the scale of these variables
individually and in relation to other variables;
– To do so on the appropriate geographic and temporal
scales;
– To find a common unit of measurement that allows
proper proportional weighting of each variable in an
aggregate frame of accounting .
30 for
Centre
COST – BENEFIT Analysis

• Efforts are on for switching over to renewables
to create a sustainable and secure future.
• India playing a significant and leading role in
creating a sustainable future for the world and
its own citizens.
• India has seen a considerable impact on the
lives of its population but still to go quite far.
31 for
Centre
Sustainable Development
• Determinants for sustainability:
– Consumption
– Production
– Distribution
32 for
Centre
Opportunity for Development

• Job Opportunity Potential:
– Agriculture: conventional and modern methods
help improve quantity and quality.
– Industry – depends upon economic, intra and inter
national socio-economic and socio-political
environment.
– Tourism – Vast scope for job generation – long
term (Sustainable Tourism development)
33 for
Centre
Sustainable Tourism Development

• How?
– Local residents and communities should be involved in
planning.
– Different stakeholders should participate in tourism
development.
– Tourism Destinations must be studied, products
identified and developed.
– Local capacities must be strengthened through skilling
of stakeholders, technological advancement etc.
– Impact of all above steps must be controlled.
34 for
Centre
Sustainable Livelihood
• Poverty Eradication – Pre-condition – Basic Education.
– Restoring natural systems and improving natural resource

management practices at the grass root level are central to a
strategy to eliminate poverty.
– Process of sustainable development guided by principles of
inclusive social development and protection and conservation
of environment.
– The inclusive and social development will come only when
people displaced from their lands and environmental
resources are provided new opportunities in the vicinity of
their lost habitats.
35 for
Centre
PROTECTING AND CONSERVING NATURAL RESOURCE BASE
• Evaluation of all developmental projects must be

guided by an environmental protection
perspective. (Role of natural resources in local
livelihoods should not be ignored.
• Recognition of all stakeholders and their roles in
protection and management of natural resource base
is essential for ensuring sustainability.
• Enforceable social rights need be defined to ensure
equal access toland, water and other natural
and biological resources for the disadvantaged
groups of the society.

INDIA’S PROGRESS TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Progress So far…
• Made remarkable gains so far in sustainable

development, as measured, for example, in
three summary ‘outcome’ indicators.
a.Life Expectancy India has advanced by 10
years - a broad indicator of economic well-being
with social justice.
b.Gains in literacy among younger women, are
indicators of future generations’ well-being.
37 for
Centre
Progress So far…
c.Forest Cover: A rise in forest cover despite the

pressures on land use, a measure of
environmental sustainability.
e.The Constitution of India with relevant

amendments reinforce the policy and legal basis
of sustainable development. The pillars of
sustainable development are embedded in the
fundamental rights guaranteed by the
Constitution, which lay down the framework for
social justice in India.
38 for
Centre
Progress So far…
f.Article 21 conferring the Right to Life has been assigned
the broadest interpretations by the judiciary to encompass
the right to a clean environment, right to livelihood, right to
live with dignity, and a number of other associated rights.
g.The National Environment Policy 2006-has attempted to

mainstream environmental concerns in all developmental
activities. The Government of India, through its various
policies, has been factoring ecological concerns into the
development process so that economic development can be
achieved without permanently damaging the environment
