This document discusses renewable energy, including why it is needed, how it can be harnessed, where it can be harnessed, the benefits and limitations. It notes that conventional energy sources are depleting and causing environmental issues. It outlines India's scope for renewable due to its climate and geography. GSFC is highlighted as a company investing over 1200 crores in wind and solar projects. Benefits include cost savings, reduced emissions, and meeting rising energy demand. Limitations include technological challenges, intermittent availability, and high upfront costs. The conclusion states that with supportive policies and technology transfer, renewable can help reduce fossil fuel use.

2. Conventional Energy Sources are fast depleting : Demand –supply gap
Holes in Ozone layer resulting in Green house effect.
Global warming, temperatures rising and so is the Sea level.
Why Renewable?

4.  Chronology of events
 1992: The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) was conceived
 1995: 1st Conference of Parties (COP) in Berlin to outline
specific targets on emissions.
 1997: Kyoto Protocol in Kyoto, Japan, agreed for framing
broad outlines of emissions targets.
 2002: Russia and Canada ratify the Kyoto Protocol to the
UNFCCC
 2005: The treaty comes into effect on 16 February 2005.
 2011: Canada became the first signatory to announce its
withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol.
 2012: On 31 December 2012, the first commitment period
under the Protocol expired.

5. How to harness ?
ITS ALL AROUND US

6.  Solar Energy:
 Solar Power project with Photovoltaic panels and Solar
reflectors.
 Domestic use of solar energy
 House lighting, water heating, Cooking,
 Domestic appliances viz. solar calculators, small battery
charging applications.
 Wind energy:
 Wind Farms in coastal area, Hilly Mountains & in deep sea.
 Combination of wind and Solar energy for domestic house
hold use.
 Irrigation through wind & solar pumps.
 Tidal energy: Where tide difference is high & V/ U shaped
coast viz. bay of Kutch & Cambay in Gujarat.

15.  We at GSFC believe that not every benefit is tangible
there are various intangible benefits as well.
 Recently GSFC CMD Shri S K Nanda rolled out Drip
Irrigation supported by Solar System.

17.  India has low Conventional Energy resources (Oil &
Gas) – net importer
 Coal reserves are abundant, but low pithead quality
 Vast and unexplored hinterlands & large coastline
 Intensity of Sunlight and Wind is appreciable
 Perennial rivers
 Government support through incentives & Schemes
(JNNSM, SWHS )
 Catering rising per capita energy consumption
through renewable.
Scope ?

18.  Poor technological capability
 Discreet availability of renewable sources.
 Economy does not support high initial investments in
Renewable
 Storage of renewable energy.
 Limitations in Dams due to Seismic zones.
 Low Power transmission capacity.
Limitations !

19.  Although renewable energy has a huge potential in
Indian scenario however right approach and
encouraging government policies and funding (must
be supportive and should be more incentivised )
 Technology transfer from developed nations to
developing countries to be added by UNFCCC- Kyoto
protocol.
 Considering the long term approach it is our
responsibility to reduce fossil fuels consumption and
look for alternatives that is renewable.
 Renewable Energy utilization requires the right and
innovative approach by all members of the Society.
Conclusion
