Environmental and Sustainability

Initiatives in Oil & Gas Sector

Introduction

Global climate change has had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on

rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Scientists predict that with rapid climate change, one-fourth of Earth’s species could be headed for extinction by 2050.Climate change has brought about possibly permanent alterations to our planet’s geological, biological and ecological systems. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) contended in 2003 that “there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities”. These changes have led to the emergence of large-scale environmental hazards to human health, such as extreme weather, ozone depletion, increased danger of wildland fires, loss of biodiversity, stresses to food-producing systems and the global spread of infectious diseases. Globally, climate change is a key issue for the Oil & Gas sector. The oil and gas sector is in the centre of the changes that will be required to reduce the carbon intensity of the global economy. Growth in the global economy over the past century has been tied to increased use of energy, and emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have closely mirrored economic expansion as a result. Energy-related activities contribute 70% of global GHG emissions; oil and gas together represent 60% of those energy-related emissions through their extraction, processing and subsequent combustion. Under the aegis of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Government of India, the Indian Oil & gas industry has proactively taken a series of committed actions to address this issue and mitigate climate change. Some of the initiatives are listed below.

Auto Fuel Vision and Policy

BS-III auto fuel (MS/HSD) has been extended to all the cities of India from 1st April, 2010. BS-IV auto

fuel was introduced in 13 identified cities on 1st April, 2010 and is now extended to 50 more cities. It will be extended in the entire country by 1st April, 2017 in phases. As per Auto Fuel Vision and Policy 2025, with effect from 1st April, 2015, the whole of Northern India

covering J&K (except Leh/Kargil), Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi and bordering districts, and parts of Rajasthan and Western UP have been covered. From 1st April, 2016, all of Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Odisha and the Union Territories of Daman & Diu, Dadra Nagar Haveli and Andaman & Nicobar will be covered. Part of Maharashtra (Mumbai, Thane and Pune districts) will be covered. Part of Gujarat (Surat, Valsad, Dang and Tapi districts) will also be covered. From 1st April, 2017, rest of the cities will be covered. It has also been decided that BS-V fuel quality and emission norms will be implemented in the entire country from 2019 and BS-VI emission norms for four-wheelers shall be implemented from 2023.

Bio-Fuel Policy: Ethanol-Blended Petrol and Bio-diesel Programmes

In July 2013, it was decided that the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) will procure ethanol only from

domestic sources to achieve the mandatory requirement of 5% ethanol blending in those parts of the country where sufficient quantity of ethanol is available. In other parts of the country, blending of ethanol may be increased progressively, depending upon the availability of ethanol, to reach the 5% mandatory level.

In order to improve the availability of ethanol, the Government has decided to fix the delivered price of ethanol in the range of Rs.48.50/litre to 49.50/litre, depending upon the distance of the distillery from the storage depot/installation of the OMCs. As regards the policy for purchase of Bio-Diesel, it has been decided that OMCs would purchase bio-diesel meeting the prescribed BIS standard at a uniform price, as may be decided by them from time to time, for blending with High Speed Diesel to the extent of 5%, at 20 identified purchase centres across the country. OMCs have reviewed the procurement price of bio-diesel at various purchase centres and, with effect from 7th November ,2014, the declared price of bio-diesel is Rs.41/litre. Moreover, it has been decided to allow the direct sale of bio-diesel (B100) to all consumers by private manufacturers, their authorised dealers and joint ventures of OMCs authorised by MoPNG.

83%. At the same time, gas production has increased from about 17,998 million cubic metres during 1990-91 to 33,656 million cubic metres during 2014-15, an increase of 187%.For minimising wastage in gas transmission networks, the operational parameters of gas network for major global natural gas companies were studied and benchmarking done accordingly. At present, the margin of wastage targeted is in the range of +/-0.3%, and strict monitoring is being carried out.By downstream companiesDownstream companies like Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd, Chennai Petroleum Limited (CPCL), Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL), Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. (NRL), etc. are progressively using solar energy for operating their fuel stations. So far, 2,140 fuel stations have been converted to operate on solar energy. The target is to increase their number to 7,200 by 31st March, 2017. The expenditure incurred on solarisation of one fuel station ranges from Rs.10 lakh to Rs.25 lakh. These companies are also developing a model to provide soft loans to the dealers to fund this investment.All Indian refineries are certified for Environmental Management Systems conforming to ISO-14001 standard and are audited periodically for compliance. They fully comply with the statutory stipulations mandated for the refining sector in the following environmental legislation, pollution control acts and notifications issued by the Central Pollution Control Board and the respective State Pollution Control Boards, including the following:• The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act

1974• The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Cess

Act 1977• The Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act

1981• The Environment (Protection) Act 1986• The Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling)

Act 1989• The Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous

Chemicals Rules 1989• The Noise Pollution (Regulation & Control) Rules

2000.Specific measures taken by the refineries to mitigate pollution and minimise impact on the surrounding environment are as follows:• Waste Water Control: Reduction in generation

of waste water through diversion of phenolic streams into desalter injection for reduction of phenol in waste water • Use of stripped sour water as desalter injection water • Diversion of

NG & PNG

In the year 2007, the Government of India has established the Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory

Board (PNGRB) under the PNGRB Act, 2006. Under the Act, PNGRB grants authorisation to various entities for developing City Gas Distribution (CGD) networks in specified Geographical Areas (GA) of the country. The CGD networks supply gas to four distinct segments, viz., Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) predominantly used as auto-fuel and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) used in domestic, commercial and industrial segments. At present, only authorised CGD entities under the PNGRB Act, 2006 can set up CNG stations in their respective Geographical Areas. PNGRB has, so far, held five rounds of bidding for awarding authorisation to develop CGD networks. With these bidding rounds, there are now 58 Gas which have been covered under CGD network in 15 States and UTs of the country. PNGRB has planned to commence the 6th round of CGD bidding, almost all Gas in the country having existing natural gas pipeline connectivity would be covered. India has 1,009 CNG stations catering to approximately 23 lakh vehicles. The Government has placed CNG (for transport sector) along with PNG (for domestic sector) on top priority in gas allocation. At present, the entire requirement of CGD entities for PNG (domestic sector) and CNG (transport sector) is being met through domestic gas at uniform base price based on the preceding six months’ consumption data. Further, MoPNG has allowed GAIL to supply 10% additional domestic gas in order to meet the daily fluctuation of PNG & CNG demand.

Steps taken for Mitigation of Carbon Emissions & Climate Change

By upstream companies

Natural gas generates 40% less CO2 as compared to coal, and about 30% less compared to heavy

oil. Hence, there has been greater emphasis on use of natural gas as a cleaner fuel in transportation and industry sectors, besides domestic sector as cooking fuel. In the upstream sector, wastage of gas takes place primarily due to (a) gas flared during production-testing in a well; and (b) technical flaring of gas done in oil & gas processing plants. There has been a steady decline in natural gas flaring since 1990-91.With diligence and adoption of corrective measures, the extent of gas flaring has considerably come down, with 872 million cubic metres of gas per annum flared during 2014-15, as against about 5,130 million cubic metres during 1990-91, marking a decline of about

• Water Conservation: The treated effluents are reused/recycled for various purposes in refineries like fire-water and cooling water make-up, coke-cutting, delayed cokers and also for captive irrigation in green belts and eco-parks.

• Gaseous Emission Control: Use of low-sulphur fuel oil/natural gas in process furnaces and gas turbines • Desulphurisation of refinery flue gas • Tall heater stacks for better dispersion of flue gases.

• Solid Waste Management: Refineries adopt the principle of “prevent, reduce, reuse and recover” for solid waste management. Oily sludge generated in crude oil /product tanks, chemical sludge, bio-sludge and spent catalysts are the main solid wastes generated in refinery units.

• Control of Noise Pollution: Major sources of noise pollution are engines, compressor house,

turbine hall, furnace, etc. Refineries have adopted various measures such as regular maintenance of machines, use of low-noise machines, suitably designed enclosures for both source and receiver, use of sound absorbing material, use of ear plugs, earmuffs, etc. in identified high-noise areas.

Conclusion:While many other sectors are heavily exposed to carbon intensive products, the Oil and Gas industry faces a difficult transition to a low carbon economy through a progressive and irreversible shift away from fossil fuels towards less carbon intensive sources of energy. Projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change imply that annual emissions of GHGs must be reduced by at least 50% from 1990 levels if risks of “abrupt and irreversible” climate change are to be reduced to acceptable levels. To achieve this goal will require a dramatic reduction in emissions from fossil fuel use. Nonetheless, the Oil and Gas industry continues to rely almost entirely on fossil fuel production for its profitability and value. This booklet offers a glimpse into the endeavours of the Indian oil & gas industry to reduce the carbon footprint of their actions / operations and showcases vibrant initiatives to mitigate climate change.

Milestones achieved:

1. Most of OIL’s energy consumption is in the form of natural gas making up almost 94% of its energy consumption in FY 2013-14 and considerably reducing our dependency on conventional fossil fuels.

2. Conservation of gas by reduction in flaring by about 73 MMSCM of natural gas was achieved by commissioning of compression services on BOO(Build-Own-Operate) basis.

GAIL (India) Limited (GAIL)

GAIL has about 11,000 km of gas pipelines, 2,040 km of LPG pipelines, 7 gas processing plants of

1.4 MMTPA LPG/LHC (Liquid Hydrocarbons) capacity & a gas based petrochemicals plant of 4,10,000 TPA polymer capacity. GAIL continues to explore opportunities globally with focus on gas sourcing. GAIL is a pioneer in City Gas Distribution business in India with 8 JVs, notably IGL Delhi & MGL Mumbai, and subsidiary GAIL Gas Ltd. Various measures have been adopted for environment protection and conservation. GAIL has also been acknowledged among the CDP’s India Leaders 2014 Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) for the first time.

A. Climate change initiatives:

The activities undertaken by GAIL are categorised as follows:

• GHG Mitigation: GAIL has been taking actions to reduce GHG emissions and exploring new and unconventional sources of energy. The Company has adopted voluntary sustainability targets in the form of Sustainability Aspirations 2020.

• Clean Technologies: Priority to environmental considerations is given throughout the various project phases. All the plants in the GAIL, Pata Complex, namely, the gas processing unit (GPU), the gas cracking unit, the high-density polyethylene unit and the linear low-density polyethylene unit (HDPE and LLDPE) are state-of-the-art and from world-renowned process licensors.

• Global Methane Initiative (GMI): GAIL has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States Environment Protection Agency (USEPA) to carry out studies regarding fugitive & vented Methane emissions. The study has been taken up for Vijaipur, Hazira & Jhabua facilities by USEPA.

• Saving fuel by transportation by pipelines instead of using trucks: Helps in saving fuel, GHG emissions, time and money. GAIL-Vijaipur transports part of its LPG through pipeline, resulting in indirect GHG savings of 136 tonnes of CO2 per annum.

• Vapor Recovery from LPG Spheres: installed for recovering LPG & Propane vapours.

12

Research & Development Initiatives• Landfill Gas (LFG) Pilot Project: LFG emanating from

the municipal solid waste dumping yards is one of the largest sources of fugitive Methane emissions. GAIL has set-up a pilot project at active landfill site of 27 hectares at Ghazipur with about 125 m3/hr of LFG to explore the option of extraction and gainful usage of LFG. The project has been successfully validated & registered with UNFCCC.

• Carbondioxide (CO2) Utilisation: Conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals is an option for mitigation of GHG. Since CO2 is a very stable chemical, GAIL’s efforts in this area are focussed on developing various types of catalysts for its conversion to Syngas through bi/tri and dry reforming. GAIL is carrying out an R&D project for CO2-fixing using microbial algae for production of bio-fuels.

• Development of Green Belt: At GAIL, Pata, the green cover area is over 200 hectares with nearly 5 lakh saplings. Vijaipur complex has developed 4 lakh square metres of lawn, landscape and plant nursery.

• Project “Dharohar” for conservation of native plant species: This project will be continued, upgraded and maintained by GAIL to achieve Mission-2023 for carrying out plantation of one lakh native plant saplings. As on date, 18,000 saplings have been distributed.

• Leak Detection & Repair (LDAR) & Preventive Mechanical Maintenance: Arrests fugitive emissions and reduces tripping, so that venting/flaring of natural gas is minimised.

• Closed-loop Sampling: Commissioned at GAIL-Vijaipur wherein cylinder assembly shall be utilised to collect hydrocarbon samples mitigating any fugitive emissions resulting from open-ended LHC sampling.

• Installation of Seal Gas Recovery Skid in HVJ Compressors: Will recover fugitive gas emission and cycle it back to the suction of the compressor, thereby eliminating its discharge into atmosphere.

• Renewable Energy Initiatives: GAIL installed wind-energy projects of 118 MW capacity. In the year 2011-12, GAIL entered solar power generation by winning the bid to set up a 5-MW Solar Plant under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in Rajasthan. GAIL has set up a portfolio of renewable businesses (solar & wind) with an investment over Rs. 700 crore.

• Solar power replaces natural gas as fuel source to run closed circuit vapour turbines: Solar PV plants are expected to generate 86,400 units (kWh)/year, and can save almost 1,638 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, and 0.265 MMSCM of natural gas worth Rs. 26.5 lakh (2013-14) with a project expenditure of Rs. 98.30 lakhs.

• Solar water heaters have been installed for domestic use at the GAIL-Vijaipur township, resulting in reduction of 1,20,000 KWH of annual energy consumption.

• Energy Conservation: Energy conservation, energy efficiency, developing integrated energy management system and strengthening energy audit procedures are important operational improvement areas for GAIL.

• Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG): Recovery of waste heat from exhaust of Gas Turbine Compressor (GTC) at Vaghodia has been carried out by setting up Waste HRSG (WHRSG) to supply steam to M/s. Apollo Tyres.

• Piped Natural Gas (PNG) supply from Recovered Flare/ Waste Gas for GAIL Township, Vijaipur: Resulted in reduction of GHG emissions, energy savings and LPG.

• For Cooling of Feed Gas to GPU from low temperature RLNG going in South Gujarat Pipeline: The feed gas temperature is a function of the compressor discharge temperature & ambient condition. In summers, ambient temperature being higher, the effectiveness of feed gas cooling decreases that resulted in loss of LHC Recovery & energy. South Gujarat Pipeline carries RLNG from Dahej to different customers of Gujarat. There is a pressure reduction of RLNG to meet the customer delivery specifications and for which considerable temperature reduction takes place. The intervention utilises the cold generated due to pressure reduction of RLNG for cooling of feed gas supplied to GPU.

• For Retrofitting Natural Gas Fired Forced Draft Burner in place of existing natural draft burners in Hot Oil Heater at GPU Vaghodia- Controlled combustion from forced draft having proper control system, reduces NOx emission & savings of up to 20% of fuel, control of heater lighting up with flame failure detection and associated safety interlocks to reduce the operating hazard.

• Green Building: GAIL Jubilee Tower is compliant with LEED Green Building norms. Captive power generation plant is using gas engine generators, waste heat recovered to run the air conditioning system and a 30-KW solar power plant, a sewage treatment plant, rainwater harvesting system are

13

present, and has zero water discharge. Fly ash bricks and environment-friendly cement, wood and paint materials used. GAIL’s Administrative Office at Chainsa – the Green building has been designed to use energy optimally with integration of solar power.

Water Management • GAIL acknowledges that water is one of the most

important resources and ensures its effective management in all areas of operation. Socially useful programmes have been undertaken under a well-defined CSR policy.

• At Vaghodia, a new water recycling initiative has been taken up. This required utilisation of blowdown water of HRSG for horticulture. After commissioning of HRSG, in total 15-20 MT per day of blowdown water is generated.

• Watershed management and Behti Dhara-Piped Canal project at Vijaipur, capacity enhancement of water harvesting reservoir at Gandhar, zero rainwater discharge at Samakhiali, rainwater harvesting at RT-Loni and RT-Madanpur (NCR), and development of water management system at IPS Mansarampura and Samakhiali undertaken.

• Waste water treatment plant has been set up at Pata, to maintain the river water quality at the discharge point. The treated wastewater recycled and used for horticulture and firewater makeup. Water demand of the complex is met by surface water, thereby reducing/eliminating the use of precious groundwater. The pipeline laid for water supply to the township from our raw water treatment plant for supply of drinking water to residents has resulted in stopping use of ground water.

• A Membrane Bio Reactor(MBR)-based sewage treatment plant has been set up in the GAIL Gaon Township, ensures odorless & clean environment, improved quality of treated water, and the entire effluent is usable with zero wastage of sewage water. In addition, Zero Liquid Discharge at GAIL-Pata proposal initiated to implement RO treatment plant for water recycling.

B. Goals and Objectives:

GAIL has set strategic initiatives for strengthening its portfolio of renewable businesses. GAIL plans to set up 500 MW wind power capacity in the coming years. GAIL has been among the very few companies to have set voluntary targets through Sustainability Aspirations 2020 and transparently disclosure in the public domain.

• Reduction in GHG Emissions intensity (Scope I and II): Target: 33 % reduction in GHG Emission

intensity (Total GHG emissions / Gross sales) from the base of 2010-11.

• Energy Efficiency: Target: 5% reduction in specific energy consumption (petrochemical and liquid hydrocarbon segment products)

• Water Consumption & Waste Water recycled: Target: 45% reduction in water consumption intensity (Total water consumption / Gross sales) from the base of 2010-11 and increase in waste water recycling by 5% of waste water generated

• Training/Awareness on Sustainability: Target: 100 % of employees and all new joinees to be made aware within one year of their joining.

C. Progress made so far:

• GMI: Vijaipur site generated standard emissions to the tune of 8.95 million m3/year of Methane (CH4). Action plan towards reduction of the same based on recommendations such as Directed Inspection & Maintenance (DI&M) & Flare Gas recovery for PNG supply to township were adopted. Fugitive emissions were quantified at 0.52 million m3/year of which leaks to the tune of (0.51 million) 518731.47 C1 m3/ year.

• PNG supply from Recovered Flare/Waste Gas for GAIL Township: Resulted in GHG emissions reduction and savings in energy & LPG. The total cost is Rs. 2.5 crore with low Pressure Pipeline Network of 11 km and supply of recovered flare gas is about 336 SCM/ day.

• Vapour Recovery from LPG Spheres: 5 LPG Spheres & 3 Propane Spheres inspected, resulting in saving of about 75 MT of LPG & about 106.53 MT respectively and the estimated value of savings on account of Propane vapour recovery is INR 51.59 lacs.

• Closed loop Sampling: resulted in savings of ~0.54 Tonnes of LPG/ Propane per annum.

• Installation of Seal Gas Recovery Skid in HVJ Compressors: Probable/ expected savings in MMSCMD due to recovery from each skid is 1.32 MMSCM/ annum per skid

• HRSG: Brings down flue gas current temperature of 450 °C going in open atmosphere to about 240 °C thereby reducing thermal pollution as well as saving energy required for the steam generation.

As on 31st August, 2015, 440 rainwater harvesting systems have been installed at various refineries, office buildings and installations with an annual harvesting capacity of about 2,700 tkl )thousand kilolitres) covering a combined catchment area of 950 hectares.

through bio-remediation by a bacteria developed by the R&D Centre in collaboration with TERI.

• Natural Gas: To reduce the carbon footprint of liquid petroleum products, IndianOil is expanding its natural gas (LNG/RLNG/CNG) business. During 2014-15, the Corporation registered sale of 1.81 million tonnes of natural gas.

II. Goals & Objectives

• Effluent treatment: All refineries have been provided with full-fledged effluent treatment plants consisting of physical, chemical, biological and tertiary treatment facilities. During 2014-15, 83% of the effluent water was treated and re-used.

• Ethanol-blending: Blending of ethanol with petrol reduces carbon monoxide levels & carbon emissions and also brings down petroleum import bill. Ethanol has a emission factor of 1.88 kgCO2e/kg compared to 3.09 kgCO2e/kg for petrol. During 2014-15, 187 tkl of ethanol was procured by IndianOil for blending, which is about 1.7% of the total MS sales.

• Bio-fuel plantations: Plantation of Jatropha was completed in about 8,000 Ha in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh. Two joint ventures were formed for the purpose, namely, IndianOil-CREDA Bio-fuels Ltd. in Chattisgarh and IndianOil Ruchi Bio-fuels LLP in Uttar Pradesh. However, due to high maintenance cost and low seed yield from Jatropha, bio-fuel production was non-starter.

• Organic waste converters & bio-methanisation plants: For organic waste, like kitchen and horticulture waste, organic waste converters/bio-methanisation plants are being provided at installations to convert waste to manure and methane. The methane is used in the kitchens as fuel and the manure/slurry used for gardening and green belts. As on 31st August, 2015, 16 such systems have been installed at various locations across the country.

• Bio-remediation of sludge: Oily sludge generated from refineries and installations is being treated

• National import reduction targets: In response to the call in Urja Sangam-2015 for 10% reduction in energy imports, IndianOil has planned to further improve its operational efficiency and energy conservation performance, besides generation of renewable energy to bridge the gap. In alignment with the national goals, including the National Action plan on Climate Change, the following plans are being adopted:

a. Plan for Alternative Energy: Over the next five years, i.e., from 2015-16 to 2019-20, IndianOil envisages to set up 260 MW of renewable energy (wind and solar) in a phased manner.

b. Sustainable Development Plan: IndianOil has completed carbon and water footprinting of all its installations and office buildings. Based on the same, a long-term plan on reduction of carbon and water footprint of the Corporation has been prepared. The plan envisages a reduction target of specific carbon footprint by 18% and specific water footprint reduction target by 20% up to 2019-20, with 2012-13 as the base year. Various measures such as energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy and tree plantations, have been proposed to reduce the carbon footprint. To reduce water footprint, measures such as process water efficiency, rainwater harvesting, etc., have been proposed.

III. Activities proposed for the future

• Ligno-cellulosic ethanol: There is a great need of alternative fuels driven by fluctuating crude prices, energy security, and environmental benefits. The National Policy of Bio-fuels in 2009, had proposed an indicative target of 20% blending of Biofuels by 2017. To avoid the food vs fuel issues, bio-ethanol can be produced from ligno-cellulose obtained from non-food crops such as surplus agri-residue, wood, organic waste etc, thereby eliminating requirement of food crop diversion. It has also been observed that Cellulosic ethanol reduces carbon emissions by 85% to 94% compared to petroleum-based fuels. Indian Oil is actively considering to enter into ligno-cellulosic ethanol production.

• Lithium-ion batteries: The lithium ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery which uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as a cathode material. The batteries offer longer lifetimes, better power density (the rate that energy can be drawn from them), have much better temperature tolerance and are inherently safer. With use of cheaper and widely available Iron-Phosphate combination in cathode makes it cheaper in production. It has been finding wide applications in transport and backup power. Lithium ion batteries are being used

in consumer electronics & automobile industry, particularly in electric vehicles.

• Government of India had launched the New Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, which projected 6-7 million electric vehicles running on Indian roads by 2020. Smart city projects and Green Energy Corridor for power generation from renewable sources would add to the overall installed capacity, thereby increasing the demand for energy storage batteries.

• Possibilities are being explored for setting up a production plant for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, quick charge stations/ retrofitting existing retail outlets to recharge/ replace batteries packs of vehicles.

• Fuel Cells: A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (usually hydrogen) and an oxidant (air or oxygen) into electricity. Basic fuel cells running on pure hydrogen are pollution free, giving off only electricity, water, and heat. Because there is no combustion in a fuel cell, fuel is converted to electricity more efficiently than any other electrical generating technology available today. Economically, fuel cells represent a prudent path to provide the country’s electric power because they can be installed quickly and are fuel flexible. Possibilities are being explored for production and distribution of hydrogen through retail networks to cater to fuel cell market, production of fuel cells in partnership with a fuel cell producer or fuel cell based quick charging stations.

• Waste to Fuel: Conversion of waste to fuel is a method to achieve zero-waste and produce renewable fuels, while caring for the environment. This has the dual benefit of proper disposal of waste as well as end use of waste to produce energy in form of methane and fuels. It also avoids the negative effects of waste incineration.As a part of the Swatch Bharat Abhiyan, IndianOil is putting up an integrated waste to fuel plant at Varanasi to convert the municipal solid waste to fuel.

• R&D Activities: IndianOil’s R&D Centre at Faridabad is working on many innovative low carbon technologies. A single step process has been developed and patented to convert CO to dialkyl- 2 carbonates using novel catalyst for application as fuel additives as well as solvent in paint industry. Research is also underway on Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks, pet-coke integrated gasification plant, solar grade heat transfer fluids, enzymes & microalgae in bio-energy etc.

Environmental and Sustainability Initiatives by Dedicated Agencies

Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA)Fuel conservation and energy efficiency provide the best option for cutting down the nation’s energy demand and help in environment protection by reducing CO2 emissions. PCRA has enlarged its role in improving use of various sources of energy for the purpose of achieving environment protection and sustainable development.

PCRA has developed various activities aimed at promoting conservation of oil & gas and other forms of energy in different sectors of the economy, which contribute in reducing GHG Emissions. These activities are briefly listed below:

(A) Field ActivitiesIndustrial Sector

The industry sector accounts for almost 40% of the total primary energy consumption in India. PCRA’s activities in this sector focus on fuel efficiency improvement through energy audits, fuel oil diagnostic studies, service to small-scale industries, follow-up studies, institutional training programmes, etc.

In the financial year 2014-15 alone, PCRA have been able to identify energy savings potential of 1.14 million metric tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) through 322 energy audits. We may roughly take 60% of these as realised, that is, about 0.69 million metric tonnes of oil equivalent.

Each kilogram of oil saved results in the reduction of 2.5 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, translating into a reduction of approx. 1.72 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Similarly, implementation of Energy Management System (EnMS-ISO-50001:2011) in individual organisations results in gradual improvement in their energy performance usually of the order of 5% of their consumption level for the year.

Transport SectorTransport sector accounts for almost half of the country’s annual petroleum consumption. PCRA has taken a lead role in Driver Training Programmes (DTP) to improve fuel efficiency of vehicles. Studies indicate a savings potential of around 20% in the transport sector. To realiae this, PCRA conducts a variety of driver training programmes for State Transport Undertakings (STUs), private fleet operators, and organisations in private and public sector, to promote efficient use of petrol, diesel and through better maintenance practices, model depot studies, emission awareness programmes, exhibitions, workshops, etc. all over the country. In the FY 14-15, PCRA had conducted 1,464 activities under transport sector.

Driver Training Programme: India has a large pool of heavy-duty vehicles drivers (approx. 50 lakhs), which includes heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles and buses. A study has revealed that each

30

Till March 2015, PCRA has trained 2.41 lakh heavy vehicle drivers, contributing to huge savings in HSD and emissions. The total savings will be to the tune of 63,400 kl of oil equivalent, which translates into reduction of approx. 0.139 million metric tonnes of carbondioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Agriculture Sector

PCRA recognises the potential and scope for conservation of petroleum products and electricity in this sector. To create awareness amongst the farmer community, PCRA conducts activities like van publicity, kisan mela and educational programs for students of agricultural colleges. During these events, clippings and films produced by PCRA on fuel saving tips are shown. In the agriculture sector in FY 14-15 PCRA conduced Agricultural Workshops 718 and Kisan Melas 64 in numbers covering large no of farmers. Total saving will be 3560 kl of oil equivalent, which translates into reduction of 7832 metric tonnes of carbondioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

Domestic Sector

PCRA educates women on better cooking habits, use of fuel-efficient stoves and lighting appliances, use

of alternative sources of energy such as solar, bio-gas, etc. in order to promote conservation of LPG, PNG and kerosene. PCRA conducts awareness workshops for college girls, cooks, housewives, etc., where they are shown films and tips on energy conservation. In FY 14-15, PCRA conducted 1,152 such workshops. PCRA also conducts youth programmes to inculcate fuel conservation habits amongst the young generation. A total of 1,942 programmes for youth were conducted in FY 14-15. The total savings will be 2,714 kl of oil equivalent, which translates into reduction of 5,970 metric tonnes of carbondioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

(B) Securing the FutureChildren and youth comprise more than 40% of India’s population. PCRA organises a variety of programmes

to inculcate the habit of saving energy among them at an early age by approaching schools,colleges and technical institutions. These constitute quiz, essay, debate and painting competitions on topics related to fuel conservation. Participants are encouraged through awards in both cash and kind. PCRA aims to make young minds understand the issue of energy conservation and motivate them to apply and promote the cause of oil conservation in their domestic and professional lives. Pursuing this mission, PCRA has initiated efforts for inclusion of topics on fuel efficiency in school books of NCERT.

Activities• Youth programmes in schools to inculcate fuel

conservation habits.

• National-level essay & painting competitions during Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight.

• Booklets on oil & gas conservation for school children.

• Quiz, debate, elocution competitions.

(C) Research & DevelopmentPCRA initiates and sponsors R&D projects for industry and transport sectors aiming at optimal utilisation of energy and reduced carbon emissions. PCRA promotes new R&D initiatives and sponsors development, demonstration and implementation of improved technologies, processes and products to conserve oil & gas in identified areas. PCRA recommends field trials of devices, equipment or appliances in the form of pilot projects and encourages commercialization of products or processes after successful completion of field trials through technology transfer.

PCRA-trained driver on an average saves 2,631 litres of diesel per year. PCRA’s own study conducted on each and every driver who has gone through its 3-day drivers training programme has saved 10 to 30% diesel.
