In the era of climate change, India is at an energy crossroad

IIPM PUBLICATION

The latest report of U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), by 2,500 scientists from 130 countries, has confirmed that man-made climate change is threatening life on Earth.

Temperatures are likely to rise by 1.10 C - 6.40 C by 2100. Sea levels will rise by 18-59 cm by 2100. Arctic ice could disappear in summers by 2100. Global warming would impact 5,018 glaciers in the Himalayas. Pundari Glacier is retreating at 13 metres a year, and the Gangetic glacier; the source of the Ganga is retreating at 30 metres annually. In two decades, Himalayan glaciers will shrink from 500,000 sq.km. to 100,000 sq. km. Within decades there will be no glacial melt in the Himalayan rivers in the peak of summer, leading to a further aggravation of drought. As a result of water scarcity perception availability of water will shrink from 1,800 cubic metres to 1,000 cubic metres.

Will they be able to make it? Well, I doubt!

IIPM PUBLICATION

The technical picture of the Dow Jones is ghastly similar to 1929. Only in 2007, the Dow again rocketed uninterruptedly for more than 25 trading days in a row. Want another negative comparison? The buying of stocks on ‘margin’ (with borrowed money) has reached the same levels as 2000 just before the NASDAQ technology index nosedived up to 80%. Central banks have been doing the same as in the last days of the beginning of hyperinflation roughly 80 years earlier. Both European Central Bank (ECB) and the Federal Reserve fail to meet inflation with their leading interest rates.

The Federal Reserve hopes to ride out the ongoing implosion of the property market and has kept the leading Fed Funds rate unchanged at 5.25% for more than a year. But while Fed chairman Ben Bernanke tries to inject markets with optimism through every speech he delivers these days, his predecessor Alan Greenspan has become much more bearish, declaring in May that the USA has a 2 to 1 chance of declining into recession. Oil ascending into the $70 area does not make the case any easier.

Diesel gets a green push

IIPM MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE

For the project pertaining to jatropha plantations, the government has made provisions of 98 million acres of arid land. Unlike other cash crops the leaves of the jatropha plants are unfit for animal consumption; therefore the yield is safe from animal grazing. Dr. Reena Singh (Area convenor & associate fellow), Centre of Mycorrhiza, TERI “As per our research, the Jatropha plantation requires at least one irrigation annually and bio-fertilizers like Mycorrhiza. The plantation should be sustainable however” The process of oil extraction is based on jatropha seed crushing in an oil expeller rendering oil. This oil in turn is then mixed with alcohol along with a catalyst with bio-diesel and glycerine as bi-products. Extracted bio-diesel can be mixed with normal diesel bringing about oil conservation and better combustibility which results in lower emission levels. Scientists believe that bio-diesels have sustainable Cetane (equivalent of Octane) levels and thus they can be used up to 30% under normal operating conditions without evident engine damage. Furthermore, being a ‘low care’ crop, jatropha requires very little maintenance. Once the plantation is secured, it is sustainable even without the usual hoopla of proper irrigation and fertile soil. It’s not without a reason that jatropha is known as the ‘shameless plant’! Companies like DaimlerChrysler, D1 Oils & IOCL are taking active interest in this new age technology. As a matter of policy though, the government is reportedly not very keen on large scale jatropha plantations as that may lead to a cash crop status for jatropha. Critics are with the view that in an event of increased dependence on the crop as a fuel alternative, farmers could be encouraged to produce less food crops.
