2. Tshering Tobgay
Prime Minister of Bhutan
my country and my people
have done nothing to
contribute to global warming,
but we are already bearing the
brunt of its consequences. For
a small a poor country which is
land locked and mountainous it
is very difficult, but we are not
goanna sit on our hands doing
nothing we will fight climate
change that’s why we have
promised to remain carbon
neutral.
This country isn't just carbon
neutral — it's carbon negative

3. Causes of Unsustainability & smog
Source: Greenpeace.org 2016
Secondary particles
• tiny, toxic particles
• generated from SO2, NOx and ammonia
emissions.
• Coal burning is the largest source.
4. Pollution & smog
control of SO2 and NOx from
power plant can reduce PM10
concentration approximately by
99 μg/m3 and for PM2.5 the
reduction could be about 57
μg/m3

5. PM 2.5 and PM10
PM stands for particulate matter
PM10 : Inhalable particles, with
diameters that are generally <10 micron.
PM2.5 : fine inhalable particles, with
diameters that are generally 2.5 micron.

7. Energy & Sustainability:
An Introduction
Energy :
Factor in
discussions of economic,
social and environmental
dimensions of sustainable
development.

Sustainability :
Solution of current
ecological, economic, and
developmental problems

9. Green energy and sustainability
Called a key to the solution of current ecological,
economic, and developmental problems by Dincer and
Rosen (2005).
For sustainable development, green energy can play an
important role for meeting energy requirements in both
industrial and local applications.

10. Is Green energy is really sustainable?

less environmental impact.
provides a flexible array of options for their use.
They cannot be depleted.
Reliable and sustainable supply of energy almost
indefinitely.
They favor system decentralization and local solutions
Somewhat independent of the national network
Small scale of the equipment often reduces the time
required from initial design to operation,
providing greater adaptability

12. Carbon Credits and Trading
Adopted in Kyoto protocal 1997
allows the development of a market
through which carbon dioxide or carbon equivalents can
be traded between participants
Each carbon credit is equal to 100 metric tons of carbon
dioxide
IT can be traded or exchanged in market.

13. Whether Carbon Credit is centered to
sustainability?
New cash source to companies maintaining their emission
levels
Reward for applying clean technology
A much better corporate and social image
Wins public approval
Encourages activities like tree plantings
Enhance biodiversity, soil and water quality
14. Trading Benefits
Sellers and intermediaries can hedge against price risk
Generate liquidity and thereby reducing its cost of
implementation
There is no counter party risk as exchange guarantee the
trade
Ensure the fair price for both the sellers and buyers
Bring players to a single platform
Helps poor and environmentally conscious countries
like Bhutan, India etc. to invest more in its
sustainability and carbon efficiency.

15. Opportunity to India
India is exempted from this protocol.
Developing country, but overseas companies can buy
carbon credits from these countries.
Indian Companies can get loans, incentives etc.
1/3rd of overall energy in India is green energy
So it will easily raise funds to it.

16. Key Strategies
11/10/2017 Adopted from Dincer and Rosen, 2005
1.
Industrial and technological support for transition to green
energy technologies
25. A question………
As per sustainable development, did you
at least installed Solar Panels to
reduce your
household or organizational
electricity bills
and became part of
socio-economic sustainability?
