Fossil Fuels and Greenhouse Gases
The global emissions have been steadily increasing since 1900 and the rate of their
increase is going up as well.

The six greenhouse gases to account for are, CO2, CH4, SF6, N2O, HFCs and PFCs.

How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)

Climate Change and India
• Rise of Sea-level/Depleting water
resources
– Sea level is rising at 3.14 mm a year in the
Sunderbans against a global average of 2
mm, threatening low-lying areas of India
and Bangladesh.
• Impacts on Agricultural yields
– Indian agriculture supports around 60% of
the population and contributes to around
17% of the GDP. For every 1* rise in
temperature there would be a 6%
reduction in the rice yields in India
• Climate Refugees
– Rising sea levels poses a threat of
migration of people into other areas
increasing the stress of infrastructure,
basic amenities and job opportunities

Solar performance assessment
Advantages Disadvantages
• Freely available and can last for a • High initial cost to set-up
long long time
• Clean energy from the sun – Zero • Large area required to set up the
Carbon panels
• Can reach places where grid
electricity does not reach • Reduced production during rainy
• Low Maintenance days and no production during
• Rugged and durable nights
• Low recurring costs
• Rebates and subsidies from the
govt.
• Nil Transmission losses

Advantages of LED lights
Efficient Technology Greater Design Flexibility
Directional light source Compact size (fixture design flexibility)
(minimal collection losses) Dynamic color tuning
High efficiency, lower wattage Instant on and dimmable
Low voltage No Infrared and UV emission
Wide range of CCT & CRI options

Reliability Environmental Friendly
Long lifetime of 50k+ hours No mercury (reduced disposal
 Lower life cycle costs costs)
 Reduced maintenance costs Reduced fossil fuel consumption
and carbon emissions
Robust (temperature, shock)

"Sustainability is not only absolutely necessary considering the situation our
planet is in, we as companies are also overdue to take responsibility. We
can't wait for governments. Companies have to lead the way…
