Going from fossil fuels to renewable energy will require the construction of wind, solar, nuclear, and other installations on a vast scale, significantly altering the face of the planet....As the world attempts to wean itself from fossil fuels — a result of the converging desires to combat climate change, improve energy security, and create green jobs....renewables such as the sun, wind, water, and hot rocks will play a larger role. So will energy sources, such as nuclear and natural gas, that are cleaner than the current favorites, coal and oil. The question is: Can any of these resources or even all of them put together begin to approach the scale needed to transform the world’s energy supply? I really don't think so..... |

The actual challenge is the mindset of people which needs to be changed,to support this i would like to give example of automobile industry which changed from a small innovation to a huge industry why this happened? what was the reason?..reason behind that was mind set of industry and more importantly of entrepreneurs who viewed automobile market as a treasure. same thing should happen to create a blue ocean of green energy .once peoples mindset change it will spark innovations and which leads to more efficient green energy products. for that corporates and executive have to stress on need on such products and should tag opportunity which is hidden inside green energy, even a small change will definitely start a tornedo.

The actual need is to scale down our or conserve our energy nrequirements. If we gather and analyse data, we can easily deduce that our comsumption per unit or production ( wjatever the field or product ) is on the higher side. Energy saved is energy created.In start all new technologies are costlier on practical application( e.g.solar cells )USA nas russia may be technology creators but it is we Indian do the work for them.Due to geographical lcation the population density in the two continents may be low. so the energy requirement is also low.but we can see what is the effect of gulf wars have on europe and USA .THE SAME HAS LESS IMPACT ON US. In case of bio fuels also we can see the consumption by public for religious practice leaves lus with little for bio fuel making ( used edible oil is use for lighting in temples etc)and the cultivation area is fast getting depleted due to urbanisation. We cant have the two to go together in development.i have written an artical on the feasibilty of bio fuels in India

Generally new technologies, in the initial stages, face the challenge of cost economics where, because of the low scales, the costs are high affecting demand adversely. Till that cusp of costs - by building up scale - is crossed the new technology remains out of feasible limits. The point at which the new technology crosses that cusp and enables lower costs it competes with existing technologies and drives it out gradually. Mobile gradually pushing out fixed-line technology is an example. So will green energy (or alternative energy) replace oil-based energy gradually.

I agree that the costs are high initially and they come down gradually.Clear case is solar energy where the capital cost was Rs 20 crores per MW, 5 years ago and it has come down to about Rs 14 to 15 Crores per MW. Unit cost is about Rs 15 now.Compare with Rs 4.5 to 5 Crore capital cost for a coal based power plant.During the power shortage their selling price has gone up to Rs 12 per unit. This has given very huge profit to the coal based plant owner but the ultimate cost per unit paid by the electricity board has increased.If the investments are made in solar power on large scale, unit cost would come down and the gap between fossil and solar power would reduce. In the process there is very huge saving in fossil fuel and drastic reduction in emission levels. The bottleneck is financing the solar energy projects. In case of wind energy, capital costs are higher than the fossil fuel plants. Here also financing is a problem because the institutions will raise doubts on the estimated units of generation and the viability of the project. On R and D if the capital costs are brought down , wind energy also works out very well. In both the cases of solar and wind,issues like land at reasonable price is also an issue.If simplified procedures are followed and land allotment is given at a reasonable price , over all cost of generation will come down.Now in the solar mission in India a good beginning is made.We can expect the results to start showing in a couple of years. In case of biomass based plants, technology is okay but the fuel prices sre a serious concern since this is not an organised sector like coal/oil/gas. Logistics of biomass fuel are complicated. In case of tidal and geo thermal, the technology is yet to reach commercial levels. In any case, clean energy has to develop and reduce the use of fossil fuels. There is no doubt about this requirement.
RESEARCH WORK IS REQUIRED TO FIND OUT A ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR GREEN ENERGY.

RESEARCH IS REQUIRED TO FIND OUT A ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT FUEL WITH AVAILABILITY AT EASE. GOVERMENT SHOULD SPENT OVER PEOPLE DOING SUCH RESEARCH WORK AND ALSO FACILITIES MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE INTRESTED IN DEVLOPING GREEN FUEL. |

India is a bottom heavy country. The energy consumption pattern though is however not very evenly distributed. In order to make maximum impact, the focus must be on the bottom of the pyramid.

Yes now installation of solar power will reduce cost, solar lamp post in a project will make benefit form electrical wire to DG generator ,this will cut huge expense in projects.IF you like contact me i am in search of implementation of solar power by importing materials form china.

Strangely and sadly, I happen to observe through my various presentations, in the last four years on “energy saving and eco friendly solutions” that most of the participants/ audience are not even aware of the basic things that needs to be adopted!!!!
This is across all section of people …….starting from energy consultants of leading firms to that of typical house wife in an urban location.
My humble suggestion is some movement /organisation/society/group should take this up , say as a sample for a specific area covering 2 Kms radius , make them realise how much energy inn terms of electricity alone they can save !!!!
This ought to have been carried out by BEE , which according to me , is busy canvassing for CFLs instead of LED !!!!
With the amount of bureaucratic procedures and hidden agendas, I am sure (though it is paining) BEE will never ever going to adopt any useful, meaningful and practically feasible proposal to spread this message across to the mass.
The beauty is most of those with whom I have interacted have shown genuine interest in reducing their consumption, if the methodology is simple and easy to follow/adopt.
In the whole exercise one consoling factor is, the so called “uneducated mass” are more keen and are ready to implement “energy saving tactics” from the next second you finish your speech!!!!
They are really, really serious. And believe me this is my personal experience .

The challenge is application to our normal life which can be overcome by innovative research and development.We are now realizing the true value of green energy so we must find efficient way to harness them....
