Mohandas Gandhi led the Quit India movement in 1942 to pressure the British to grant India independence. Gandhi and the Indian National Congress offered to support Britain in World War II only if India was granted independence. When this was denied, Gandhi launched Quit India, calling on the British to leave India. Thousands of protesters were killed, injured, or arrested in the massive campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience. Gandhi and the Congress leadership were imprisoned, and Gandhi was held until 1944 when his failing health led the British to release him. India gained independence in 1947 after negotiations between the Congress and the Muslim League.

Helping Vietnam Meet Its NDCs through an Agricultural CompetitionMallika Padmanabhan
This presentation for COP24 highlights the AgResults Vietnam Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Challenge Project, specifically efforts of private sector participants to scale up improved technologies to help farmers increase rice yields while decreasing GHG emissions. The project aims to reach 20,000 smallholder farmer households across the Thai Binh province in the Red River Delta.
1) The document discusses a proposed CCS project called the Don Valley Power Project (DVPP) in the UK. It analyzes the business case for DVPP and identifies key factors for making CCS projects commercially viable such as government support mechanisms, carbon pricing, and using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery.
2) DVPP's plan was to use CO2 from a proposed coal power plant for EOR in the North Sea, with the revenue from EOR covering storage costs. However, DVPP was unsuccessful in obtaining a UK capital grant and the high capital costs remain a challenge.
3) For CCS to succeed, the document emphasizes that future projects must reduce costs, secure diverse sources
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows emission-reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2. The Kyoto Protocol established mechanisms for CDM. Projects go through validation, registration, verification and issuance of CERs. India has over 1,400 approved CDM projects expected to generate over 600 million CERs until 2012 across sectors like energy efficiency, renewable energy and waste management. Challenges include tapping potential from new sectors and developing large and programmatic CDM projects.

This document summarizes information about green oil investments. It describes green oil as being produced from plants and trees rather than fossils, with similar energy content to crude oil but being less volatile and safer to transport. It is already being used worldwide in power generation and transportation after being mixed with other fuels. The document outlines the ecological, political, and economic benefits of green oil investments. These include being a renewable resource, providing energy independence and jobs. It also describes current green oil investment programs involving planting jatropha and other energy crops, with assured returns of 5-12% in early years and 20% annually thereafter through a revenue sharing model.
The document discusses the role of international carbon markets in helping countries achieve their net-zero emissions targets. It finds that most countries do not specify how they intend to use carbon markets. Those that do are adopting different approaches. The suitability of different types of carbon credit activities is also examined, finding some like emission removal technologies are well-suited while others like avoided deforestation have limitations. Risks of overreliance on carbon markets are also discussed, as are perspectives of seller and buyer countries.

waste fats from biogenic origin or from oil seeds
cultivated in dedicated plantations for use as fuel”
18. Methodologies on the progress table
Fuel Switch
SSC NM009 (Draft AMS-I.F)
“Substitution of fossil fuel in combustion engines
through biofuel from degraded land”
19. Strengths
Carbon Finance can get the biodiesel projects which
are often financially unviable, financed.
The farmers can be compensated for the limited or
no returns from plant produces during the first few
years by upfront payment of Carbon Credits.
Carbon credits as earned in hard currency, can attract
otherwise unwilling parties to finance the project.
Potential for multiple CDM projects as well as
harnessing multifarious developmental benefits from a
Value-chain based approach.
20. Weakness & Limitation
Use of some methodologies can restrict simultaneous
use of another or harnessing Carbon benefits from
multiple sources across the value chain at the same
time.
Because of high risk of the projects, the CER prices
discovered in the market may be very small.
CERs from A/R CDM are not tradable in the EU
market as per provisions of the linking directive.
21. Risk Matrix
R1. Feedstock yield/ Resource supply risk
R2. Technological risk
R3.Volumetric risk
R4. Biodiesel price risk
R5. Registration risk
R6. Risks in monitoring, verification and issuance of CERs
R7. Risks of additional policy of CDM EB
R8. Political risks in host country
R9. Risk of non-renewal of project land lease
R10. CER price risk
R11. Environment, Health and Safety risk
22. Participatory Risk Mapping
Risks are to be ranked by the CDM consultants, project
developers and financiers through collective
deliberation in order of their respective Risk Index,
which is the product of its
likelihood of materializing (L)
severity of impact (I)
This will help in prioritizing risks and adopt suitable
mitigation strategies for them.
