8Delaying decarbonisation of the energy sector would require higher levels of investment to achieve the same objectives and this would double stranded assets, according to a well regarded global analysis. Cumulative stranded assets from 2015 to 2050 would total USD 10 trillion, coming largely from buildings that need to be replaced because of low energy efficiency, and upstream energy infrastructure and assets (gas, oil and coal that must stay in the ground). This would double to USD 20 trillion to reach the same emissions objective by 2050 if effective mitigation policy was delayed by only one decade. Click on Reports for more

Severe Right of Way troubles are hemming in progress of transmission projects in India.
8As the number of lines grows, more trouble is expected on this front as streamlining the land acquisition act has become a political hot potato.
8Compensation rates have to revised severely upwards in many cases and this is likely to eventually impact project economics.
8NOCs are also difficult to come by in some cases.
8Environment clearances, particularly forest clearances, are troublesome too
8Contractor trouble is not so frequent but sometimes that can also delay projects

Even though renewable energy has made a determined onslaught, the prospects of conventional power companies are not all that bad.
8Take NTPC, for example.
8Efficiency gains are currently driven by lower auxiliary consumption.
8As new capacities come on stream, more regulated equity gets into book.
8Then again, government policies have helped, as benefits are likely to accrue from changes in grid norms to compensate for part load operation of plants.
8Backdown due to renewable energy ingress is to be compensated.
8Eventually, in whatever trouble NTPC can get into, there is near surety that the government will try and bail out the power giant.
8The going is going to be good for NTPC.

Decarbonization is not necessarily bad deal for a city-wide utility.
8In a Low-Income Mega City with abundant solar resources thanks to its sunny geography, a utility willing to partner with the city to decarbonize the grid, should see it as an opportunity
to grow more quickly and at lower cost compared with building fossil fuel plants.
8The city can focuses on accelerating distributed solar and on-site electricity storage, working with the utility to finance installations on available land and eligible rooftops in the city, along
with the necessary grid upgrades and investments in other low-carbon generation to balance the overall system.
8Latest studies have shown that these measures can enable the city to meet 70 percent of its building electricity needs with a mix of distributed and centralized renewables
8Data is available on the kind of investments which will be needed and the kind of returns which are possible.

Who is going to pay for the installation of additional environmental protection equipment, such as an FDG, by a generator?
8Interestingly, this question has not been addressed competently as yet
8Petitions have been filed with the regulators seeking compensation.
8Meanwhile, a committee has been urged to be set up to review the entire arrangement, particularly as power plant efficiencies are likely to be impacted by the installation of environmental protection equipment.

The spurt in renewable energy injection into the grid is now impacting the mainstream power companies
8A technical minimum schedule of operation has been put in place for such eventualities under reserve shutdown
8There is also a mechanism for compensation for degradation of heat rate and auxiliary and secondary fuel consumption due to part load operations as well as multiple start or stoppage of a unit
8The schedule has been finalized for central generation units but private generators are now beginning to claim similar compensation
8Some utilities are now asking for postponement of payments under these provisions until the rules are clearer

POSOCO has carried out operational analysis of various hydro stations in the country and came to the conclusion that despite 40.6 GW of peaking hydro capacity, only about 33 GW peak generation is carried out on all India basis.
8This is because many plants are not working on peak load basis.
8According to POSOCO, this is on account of a number of factors.

An entirely new regulatory mechanism has been suggested for the world to go completely electric.
8Energy-intensive industries involved in international trade may not be able to afford process modifications to reduce CO2 emissions. A global agreement to create equality among industries (globally co-ordinated carbon pricing, for example) would in principle solve this issue, but is highly unlikely for political reasons.
8Another option would be for governments to restrict international trading of materials based on the upstream emissions associated with them, and to introduce border tax adjustment mechanisms. There is no evidence that the World Trade Organisation (WTO) or the various rules of a large number of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements would stand in their way.
8Governments could agree to devise common methods for calculating how much carbon is used in making products, based on ongoing work of the International Organization for
Standardization.
8Jurisdictions could then decide to adopt a set of standards for the embedded carbon of the materials they use (e.g. in the context of a regional trade agreement), in line with their efforts towards achieving a zero-carbon economy.

Fossil fuels will remain competitive until a point where a tax on carbon is initiated.
8Overall, a combination of direct process electrification and use of storable hydrogen-rich chemicals and fuels manufactured from electricity may offer the greatest potential for renewables uptake by various industries.
8Electricity is costlier to store than heat, but is much easier to transport if connected to the grid.
8Hydrogen-rich chemicals are easier to store and transport than both heat and power, and this advantage may compensate for the energy lost in successive conversions of renewable power, provided all vectors are used to their best advantage.
8With current technology costs, however, using hydrogen or chemicals as fuels would entail additional costs
8The fact that manufacturing hydrogen from renewable electricity is becoming competitive with producing it from fossil fuels does not imply that this hydrogen can compete with fossil fuels for producing heat, power or traction – at least not yet.
8While hydrogen-rich chemicals could ultimately enable nearly complete electrification of the global economy, they will likely require government support -- unless carbon prices are sufficient to discourage the use of fossil fuels.

There can be other uses that renewable energy can put to
8Renewables-based hydrogen and hydrogen-rich chemicals could increase the energy content of other green fuels such as biofuels, and could substitute for fossil fuels as a source of heat in various situations in industry, notably in the chemical and cement industries.
8Some of these hydrogen-rich chemicals would be carbon-free (e.g. ammonia), others would contain carbon but would serve as carriers and no carbon would be combusted.
8Still others would be drop-in fuels and their carbon burnt, but it could be of atmospheric origin.

Renewables-based hydrogen could be used to reduce iron ore into pig iron that would then be melted in electric arc furnaces with some scrap iron, drastically reducing CO2 emissions in steelmaking. The Swedish steelmaking industry is currently developing this option.
8Emissions associated with cement manufacturing (2.2 GtCO2/y) could be reduced by using solar or electric heat, or by combusting hydrogen-rich synthetic fuels. The full or near-full elimination of emissions – including process CO2 emissions – is conceivable based on molten carbonate electrolysis of dense CO2 fluxes, or direct electrolysis of solubilised limestone.
8The possible valorisation of carbon co-products such as methanol or carbon nanotubes could make emissions-free cement-making more profitable than traditional manufacturing, although these options are still only at laboratory scale.

New and significant research continues to point towards dramatic changes in energy technology prices going ahead.
8It is now clearly established that a combination of hydro, wind and solar power will eventually be able to deliver power at less than Rs 2/kwh in selected parts of the world, including India.
8What is more important is that such low electricity prices could allow hydrogen to be produced at costs competitive with natural gas reforming, oil-cracking or coal gasification – without CO2 emissions.
8The low hanging fruit seems to be ammonia, which is used mostly to manufacture nitrogen fertilisers. When ammonia is produced from green electricity, the process requires only air
and water.
8Beyond current ammonia production for various industrial uses, green hydrogen could serve many other purposes to help decarbonise industry. For instance, it could serve as a precursor to manufacture methanol and other chemicals.

There is no denying that the world will transit to a carbonless source of energy in the future.
8There are many who claim that this transition will happen by 2040
8The fossil fuel industry however things that the transition will take much longer.
8Here is the latest blue print prepared by climate change adherents, who have a rather coloured view of the world as it is, and who want the move to a carbon free world to happen earlier that 2050
8It is possible, they say, because the technology is available.
8The road map prepared by the lobby shows the entire transformation bringing about a significantly lower levelized cost of power than is prevalent today.

Indian policy watchers need to keep track of a pan-Europe campaign against gas.
8The argument here is that the carbon burn budget for Europe to be able to keep climate change under control does not allow for use of gas.
8The conclusion that gas has no role in the EU’s energy system derives from the fact that gas is a fossil fuel that emits substantial amounts of greenhouse gases.
8While gas may emanate less carbon dioxide than coal, the full lifecycle emission of methane is significantly higher, thereby closing the gap with coal

It is more theft than technical reasons why India's AT&C losses are so high.
8Fresh data from sample discoms which has come in after computerized monitoring structures have been put in place show that technical losses make up just 2.6% to 7.7% of all losses..
8On the other hand, commercial losses can go up to as much as 36.9%.
8Defective meters, tampering, theft & pilferage, poor metering and billing efficiency, less or non realization of dues against billed energy are the major reasons for losses.
