Energy is a key component in the development of a country

ENERGY

SCENARIO

• Energy is the Basic Component for Development of Industry, Public Service and Transport

• Increased Consumption of Electric Power is Linked With

Economic Development

• Increased Generation of Electric Power may Increase Emission of Pollutants to the Environment

• There is a Need to Balance between Economic Development and Environmental Degradation

• To Meet the Power Challenges in our Country all forms of Commercially Viable Sources of Electricity Generation Need to be Explored

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

• Country of 1.25 billion people with population likely to

stabilize at 1.5 billion by 2050.

• 6th largest producer of electricity in the world.

• Given our large population the per capita electrical

consumption continues to be very low (1/6 of world

average).

• To reach at least the world average standards and to meet

the needs of our growing population power generation has

to be increased many folds.

Energy Scenario

Energy Scenario

• For such large requirements all sources of energy have to be deployed.

• Presently 86% of our electricity needs are met by burning coal/oil.

• However the coal/oil option, has severe global impacts on environment and commerce in addition to huge infrastructure needs.

• In our energy mix nuclear energy role has to be increased in addition to hydro and non-conventionals.

At Present India‘s Per Capita Consumption of Energy is About 600 KWH in Comparison to the Developed Countries Like USA Where it is about 12,000 KWh.

URBAN AND RURAL WASTE RECYCLE

Sludge Hygienisation Research Irradiator

(SHRI) at Vadodara for sewage water

treatment

• In the year 2004, 100 tonnes of pathogen free

manure was produced

• Sludge has been tested as manure in

agriculture fields

• More plants can be set up

NISARGRUNA Plant for disposal of

Biodegradable wastes

• This 5 tonnes/day plant can process any

biodegradable waste (Kitchen, Vegetable

market, Agricultural residue, Abattoir waste)

and produce high quality methane & manure

(about 10% of the total waste processed).

• 5 plants made operational. Several in pipeline.

THE ABOVE TWO TECHNOLOGIES TOGETHER HAVE THE SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR ECO-

FRIENDLY WASTE RECYCLE IN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS WITH PRODUCTION OF MANURE

AND GENERATION OF ENERGY
