The majority of the respondents in a recent global study believed that technological progress in renewables and battery storage would have a greater influence on gas demand than carbon reduction targets.
8Gas has already become an unviable fuel for the power sector, leaving demand to emanate from the highly fragmented industrial sector. Given the dynamics of this sector and its sensitivity to gas prices, it is has become extremely difficult for the gas sector, accustomed to operating with 15–30 year long-term contracts, to plan for 2025, let alone 2050.
8There seems to be little pressure on the Indian policymaker to seek a changeover to gas despite dangerous levels of pollution in the air. Does this mean that he is waiting for a switchover to electric vehicles rather than CNG fired vehicles to clear the air?

The key to gas fulfilling its potential role as a ‘transition fuel’ up to and beyond 2030, is that it must be delivered to high-income markets below $8/MMbtu, and to low-income markets below $6/MMbtu (and ideally closer to $5/MMbtu).
8The major challenge to the future of gas will be to ensure that it does not become (and in many low-income countries remain) unaffordable or uncompetitive, long before its emissions make it unburnable.
8There are many countries including India where there is an absolute price level, such as $5/MMbtu, above which customers can not afford to purchase the fuel either because of their income level, or because the end-user price level of the final product for which gas is being purchased would be too high.
8That fact that pipeline capacity utilization in India is low is a pointer to the inability of gas suppliers to find affording customers.
8KG Basin suppliers will have to keep these gas ceiling prices in mind while formulating their arithmetic.

New studies are increasingly showing a gloomy picture for gas demand globally and in India.
8These studies are focused on the question of affordability of gas as a fuel and feedstock rather than as a substituting fuel for other kinds of dirtier fossil fuels.
8Fresh insights seem to indicate that there are limited numbers of countries outside the OECD which can be expected to afford to pay wholesale (or import) prices of $6–8/MMbtu and above, which are needed to remunerate 2017 delivery costs of large volumes of gas from new pipeline gas or LNG projects.
8The unspoken assumption that around the early-mid 2020s, gas prices will rise somewhere close to 2011–14 levels, allowing a return to profitability for LNG projects which have come on stream since the mid-2010s, coaxing new projects to move forward, may not turn out to be true.

Where the solution to air quality concerns is policy-driven renewable energy, the resulting disruption to coal markets could lead to under-investment in coal production capacity.
8The problem is that such under-investment in future coal supply may undermine the perceived economic and operational reliability of coal as the dominant player in the fuel mix.
8Disruptions to coal supply could bring increased volatility and high prices.
8The coal industry has been guilty of complacency, failing to adequately invest in clean and efficient technology to retain its competitiveness because they assumed that policymakers would not accept such investments
8But that is not the right way to handle the situation for a coal producer.
8For, it is too early to rule out the dominance of coal, particularly in Asia

For the first time, an inventory has been built of all energy subsidies in India, apart from subsidies to nuclear power and large hydropower, which were excluded due to the lack of data. 8The reviewed subsidies are grouped according to the energy type they benefit: a) coal; b) oil and gas; c) renewable energy.
8The inventory covers three financial years: FY2014, FY2015 and FY2016
8The subsidies are defined as those given by way of budgetary transfers (this category does not include government loans and government loan guarantees), revenue foregone (tax breaks), provision of government-owned goods and services below market value (for example, the use of rail and other government infrastructure at below-market rates or preferential access to land and market) and price support (such as regulated fuel prices).
8The need for greater transparency is stressed and the need to analyse the data in a way that allows for better targetting and streamlining by the government.
8Some of the findings are indeed starling

8Gas producers are protesting the sue of secret comparables in the pricing of LNG.
-- Since the determination of LNG pricing is highly complex, due to international price changes, varying cost of intermediary logistic services etc, secret comparables obtained from corporates are usually far from accurate and hence should not be applied for determination of arm’s length price of LNG, the industry is claiming.
-- Allowing use of secret comparables for non-commodities leads to a high number of disputes and unwarranted litigation.
-- It is argued that developed countries, such as the US & UK have an official policy of not using secret comparables for any Arm’s Length Principle (ALP) evaluation.
8Then again, it is argued that since LNG falls in the same logical category as crude oil, it must have the same level of taxation as applied to crude il. The benefits of using LNG are far-reaching vis-a-vis the revenue loss to the exchequer.
-- International LNG prices are at least 20-25% lower than the crude oil (or petroleum fuels) on heat equivalent basis and thus go to reduce the cost of energy to end-consumer in addition to the forex saving, the argument goes.
-- Since customs duty on crude oil has already been made zero, import of LNG presently attracting 5% customs duty should also be exempt. Through Finance Act 2012, the government has exempted levy of Customs duty on import of LNG for power sector. However, this exemption should be extended to other sectors also.

New analysis suggests the following outcomes out of the fast proliferation of EVs:
8A 100 per cent15 EV nation is estimated to contribute 12 per cent of the INDC emission intensity reduction targets (33-35 per cent)
8Oil imports saved due to 100 per cent 2030 is USD60-70 billion annually
8Due to 100 per cent incremental EV adoption by 2030, the Indian economy is expected to save Rs 5-6 lakh crores.
8These savings are net of power costs incurred less the oil purchase costs.

The advent of electric vehicles (EVs) in India has been a subject of much interest to the oil & gas industry.
Fresh research now shows that EVs will reach breakeven points, when they are equal to or cheaper than conventional vehicles, in the following timelines in India:
8Commercial cars: 2020
8Two wheelers: 2021
8Buses: 2022
8Passenger cars: 2023
8The inflection points have been advanced from earlier estimates because of rapidly falling battery cost.
8Disruptive technologies follow S-curves and once a technology wins, it could lead to the demise of incumbent technologies very quickly.
8What is more, time taken for disruptive technology to reach 80% penetration is shrinking very rapidly.

We have built a unique first-of-its-kind database of power industry contacts in the country.
8Unlike a regular directory, very contact in our project monitoring software comes with a rich tapestry of information on the facility and the unit in which the contact is present, along with attendant business development prospect, if any, around the contact. Every contact information is validated on a regular basis by our team of in-house analysts
In an industrial facility in which contacts are located, we give you a whole lot of additional information including
-- Technology parameters
-- Design and actual Input-Output data for every raw material and product
-- Multi-parameter utility matrix
-- Long term maintenance contracts
-- Feedstock data
-- NIC codes
8A facility is further split up into its individual units and for each unit we have a similar set of parameters as in the facility along with key contacts.
8And for each unit or facility, we have a resultant business development prospect, either in terms of maintenance prospect or a capital project, be an additional expansion or debottlenecking or a revamp or a new capital project
8The point to note is that we are always looking ahead and never behind, giving you exclusive information around a contact and his involvement in a future business prospect, which may be a month, six months, a year or two years away from being tendered out.
8Having worked in the business for more than two decades, we know what you are looking for.
8India has so far had a poor business prospect database because the existing databases do not fulfill the requirements of a business development manager. What we have done is to plug that gap
8For you, a deal can just be a phone call away

8The thrust is on clean energy projects
8So what really constitutes CSR programme in clean energy?
8How is it possible to make such projects self sustaining and revenue generating?
8With whom do companies prefer to implement their CSR projects in clean energy?
8Which type of renewable energy do companies prefer?
8How much are companies spending on CSR in clean energy?
8There are lessons here for oil & gas companies
8Case studies can show how new models are now working.
There is a business case for renewable energy and micro grid companies to tie up with some of these CSR programmes, particularly with those which have large budgets.

The time for submission of pre-budget list of demands have begun
The following demands have been put up to the finance ministry on behalf of the power user sector:
8CENVAT credit be given on clean energy cess. There is a also a demand to withdraw excise duty on fly ash.
8A demand has gone out from the caustic soda industry for full exemption from customs duty on imported equipment used to set up captive power plants in India.
8Group tax filing by companies with multiple SPVs for renewable energy
8Eligibility period for generation of power for claiming tax holiday be extended from 31 March 2017 to say 31 March 2020, especially given the coal shortage and other problem being faced by the sector.
8The relevant provisions of Section 9 of the Income Tax Act, in force since 1976, have been interpreted by the Supreme Court in India requiring the taxpayer to also satisfy the condition of ‘rendering of service in India’ for being taxable in India. This provision should now apply prospectively. Alternatively, a provision be inserted to clarify that past transactions would not be re-opened or contested by the tax officers on the strength of this provision.
8A clear provision has been sought for getting cash refund of accumulated CENVAT under Deemed Export Project under International Competitive Bidding. It is suggested that deemed exports should also get the same status as physical exports for getting cash refund under Rule-5 of CENVAT Credit Rules.
8It is suggested that the definition of the term Capital Goods should be amended to include Capital Goods used outside factory and used in relation to manufacturing of final products or for handling & transportation of raw materials, such as coal or fly ash, as well as intermediate products and final products.
