Three billion people, almost half of humanity, still rely on solidfuels which means traditional biomass and coal becausethey dont have access to modern energy services. Almost aquarter of the global population 1.5 billion people liveswithout electricity, 80 percent of them in the developing andleast developed countries (LDCs) of South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
To halve the proportion of people living in poverty by 2015 the first of eight, internationally agreed MillenniumDevelopment Goals 1.2 billion more people will need accessto electricity and about two billion more people will needaccess to modern fuels like natural gas or Liquefied PetroleumGas.
Some 500 million Indians, live without electricity! Traditionalbiomass is the primary cooking fuel for over 700 million Indians.Indias per capita commercial energy consumption is about20% of the world average, 4% that of the US and 28% that ofChina. Sustained GDP growth of 8-9% a year is essential toenable India over the next 25 years to lift the bottom 40% ofher citizens to an acceptable level of economic & social wellbeing. This will require provision of modern energy to them.Realistically, this can only come from fossil fuels, which willincrease GHG emissions.
There is a fourth category of people those who believe thatClimate Change needs real-time mitigation efforts and not justdebates and discussions on who is responsible for the situationwe are in today. The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industrybelongs to this category and our Environment and EnergyConclave 2010 (27th 28th August 2010) will be the forum forsharing ideas and experiences on how to sustain industrial
productivity and profitability while ensuring a low carbonfootprint and implementing winning carbon managementpractices.
The theme this year is, From Copenhagen to Mexico BusinessSustainability in Emerging Scenarios.
But first, the facts
Our rapidly melting, carbon-choked, over-
populated planet, smack bang in the middle of a
climate change crisis, is filled with three kinds of
people: those who congregate at the opening of a
green envelope (so to speak) to generateecosoundbites and murmur things like, if only
people cared more; those who passionately loathe
eco-warriors and cry Greenwash! Greenwash! if
anyone so much as suggests they could walk to the
postbox instead of driving their 4x4; and the third
kind, which is basically the rest of us.

The primary area of concern is that Carbon Dioxide(CO2) is the most commonly emitted Greenhousegas, since it originates from the combustion of fossilfuels in numerous industries including the powergeneration sector, and all energy intensive industries.Therefore the problem confronting Indian industry,policy makers and all researchers is how to reconcilethe compulsions and necessity of higher energyconsumption and consequent economic development
with lowering of emissions. The problem iscompounded by the fact that at least in the next 25
years,there is not muchscope for the country to move away
from conventional fossil fuel (mostly Coal) basedpower generation.
There are hopes that countrieswould reach a time boundagreement to reduce theemission of greenhouse gases
at the next Climate ChangeSummit in Mexico.Simultaneously, the need is toprovide adequate funding todeveloping countries forswitching over to alternativesources of energy andmitigating GHG emissions.
The Copenhagen Accord shouldbe seen as part of the two-tracknegotiating process (underKyoto Protocol and Bali Action
Plan). BASIC countries havesuggested that the two mainnegotiating groups atCopenhagen the developedand developing countries should be meeting in the interimperiod so that there is asuccessful conclusion at Mexico.
The Energy Paradox for Indian Industry
The answer therefore lies in
Conservation, Efficiency, Technology and Environmental Management.

The road to
8/8/2019 Bcci Environment and Energy Conclave 2010 Brochure
In Copenhagen, India announced voluntary emission intensity cuttarget of 20-25%. China had pledged to cut the amount of CO2 producedfor each unit of economic growth by 40-45 percent by 2020, comparedwith 2005 levels. For India, that figure is up to 25 percent by 2020from 2005 levels.
However, India has informed the UN that such voluntary cuts ofits emission intensity would not be applicable to the agriculture
sector. In other words, the major consumer of energy, the industrialsector, would have to bear the brunt of emission intensity cuts. Thisis possible through,
The challenges andopportunities forIndian Industry
Switch to alternative sources of energy
Within the country there is a very strong possibility ofenergy efficiency target being set for designatedconsumers, which are energy intensive industries. Failureto meet such targets would attract penalties. Therewould be many other efficiency norms including standardsand labeling schemes.
The eight core national missions as part of Indias
National Action Plan on Climate Change identify measuresin eight different realms that promote our developmentobjectives while also yielding co-benefits for addressingclimate change effectively.
Energy efficiency and conservation
Technological improvement in production and productivity

The Bengal Chamber of Commerceand Industry was set up in 1853. Forthe last one and a half centuries, theChamber has played a pioneering roleas a helmsman, steering the evolutionof Commerce and Industry in India.The Chambers vision is to be the mostvalued Partner of Commerce, Industry,Academia, Professionals and
Governments for achievingresponsible economic growth as well
as accomplishing their societal andenvironmental needs.
Donning its multiple roles as catalyst,initiator, facilitator, business partnerand service provider, the Chamberhas helped Governments, both atthe Centre and State in craftingpioneering and significantlegislations.
A continuous endeavour of theBengal Chamber has been to focus
on sustainable development and todisseminate information and educatebusiness, industry and society aboutthe need for balancing industrialgrowth with ecological stability. Inshort, this is the maxim of theChambers Energy and EnvironmentCommittee.
As an annual activity, the Chamber organizes a two- day Environment & Energy Conclave which is the leading forum for discussing and brainstorming global and local environmental issues like climate change andthe response of business, the government, the academia
and the civil society. This year we shall be organizing
the Conclave on 27th and 28th August in Kolkata.

The Conclave will specifically visit the realities in the realm of energy and
environment management for industry and bring to board solutions and
best practices in the following areas:
Climate Change and Business Sustainability
IPR and Climate Change
Climate Change, Industrial Progress and the East
International Perspectives on Climate Action (Focus: Carbon Policy)
Indian Power Paradox Options within Coal
Innovative and Sustainable Technology by Conventional
and Alternative Means
Moving Forward After Copenhagen
Theobjective of the 2010 Conclave is to provide the regionalforum for visiting the scenarios governing the Indian economy and
industry with the Climate negotiations this year in the background andlook at emerging scenarios that would confront industry and the businesscommunity.
As a leading Chamber of Commerce, our concern is with respect to thecost of adaptation to Climate Change for the country, which is estimatedat 2.6 per cent of Indias GDP. Importantly, the Conclave will address andtry to solve the specific challenges facing Indian industry in the realm ofcutting the emission intensity by 20-25%. This is a huge challenge, especiallysince our growth momentum cannot be compromised with.
Discuss the nuances of Environmental Management and the benefits for organizations.
Address the impact of Climate Change and Mitigation Action on BusinessSustainability.
International perspectives on Climate Policy and consequent impact onbusiness for sustainable growth.
Case study presentations on reducing environmental impact andsimultaneously increasing the revenue.
Experience sharing on low carbon technologies and green technologies. Experience sharing on advances in conventional technology. Learning about best practices in energy conservation techniques and practices,
and increasing energy efficiency. Discussing technology transfer and business strategy. Assessment of new practices like carbon accounting, measuring carbon
footprint and carbon finance. Address the implementation of processes and products that have a smaller
environmental footprint.
benefits for delegatesThis would be an event, which
would help you immensely inyour business operations since
the Conclave would discuss on-
the-ground realities in the realms
of Climate Policy and business
strategies and best-practices for
industries. The Conclave would
bring us all together to discuss
something, which will be the
most dominating issue in future
and threaten the very existence
of our children and future
generations, unless we do
something about it now.
So, do join us!
