CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED BY INCREASED GHG EMISSION

• Green House Gas level rise to a current level of 390 ppm and consequent climate change, floods and draughts has affected 260 million people between 2000 and 2004 through natural calamities, of these, 98% were in developing nations.

• Developed countries with population of 15% of world population have the share of CO2 emissions at 50%.

• CO2 level has risen to 390 ppm from 1975 level of 330 ppm.

• There is so much momentum in the system that we will certainly double CO2 level by end of the century.

• Global temperature rise by 3 to 4 0C will cause displacement of over 330 million people in developing world.

• China and India are projected to account for 30% of the world’s increase in energy consumption between 2000-2020 and 92% of increase in coal use.• World Green House inventory is over 29,000 Million tones per annum

(MTPA) with US over 20% (India with total emission of about 1400 MTPA is only at 4.8 %.)

• Coal is going to remain main stay for power generation in at least next

Three decades for India (87,093 MW Coal based generation out of 1,63,669 MW total power installed capacity)

Tera-watt Challenge for synergy in Energy & Environment

A terawatt Challenge of 2012 for India

To give over one billion people in India the minimum Electrical Energy they need by 2012, we need to generate over 0.2 terra watt (oil equivalent to over 3 million barrels of oil per day) and 1 TW by 2050,primarily through Advanced fossil fuel technologies like CCTs for limiting GHG emission levels

By 2020 our mix of generation would have the Peak in Thermal, certainly it would be the Green Thermal Power:

Thermal 326,000MW Renewable & Hydro 104,000 MW Nuclear 20,000 MW Total 450,000 MW

Energy for the Earth Planet- Non-CO2 Options

World Generates 15 Terawatt of Energy (the US - about 3TW, India - 0.16 TW) today to support 10 billion world population. This is Equivalent to230 million barrels of oil /day.

By 2050 it is projected to need about 35 TW. The world would need about 20 TW of non-CO2 energy to stabilize CO2 in the atmosphere by mid century.

Among the non-CO2 options , it is possible that solar is the only one that can meet this Terawatt challenge and at the same time contribute to the reduction of climate change, with about 125,000 TW of global incident sunlight.

Can we address the following issues by roping in renewables? GDP growth must be sustained and lack of

energy availability should not pull it down. Exchange crisis should not recur due to

bulging Oil import bills Climate change is a concern and countries

with low per capita income are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change

The answer seems to be ….yes.

IGCC TECHNOLOGY ...

Gasification of coal is the cleanest way of utilization of coal, while combined cycle power generation gives the highest efficiency.

Integration of these two technologies in IGCC power generation offers the benefits of very low emissions and efficiencies of the order of 44-48%.

The comparative indices show that in case of IGCC, emission of particulate, NOx and SOx are:

7.1%, 20% and 16%, respectively, of the corresponding emissions from PC plant.

- Three major areas of technology that will contribute to

improvements in IGCC are : hot gas de-sulfurisation hot gas particulate removal advanced turbine systems

IGCC

Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) technology has selectively been applied in India for firing high sulphur refinery residues, lignite, etc.

CFBC Technology is superior to PC Power Plant Technology:

Lower NOx formation and the ability to capture SO2 with limestone injection the furnace.

Scheme Diagram of CO2 Capture Pilot Plant

Innovations: • Capture of CO2 from Biomass and a Boiler on Pilot Scale and achieving capture efficiency of the order of 78% • Production of CO in stable form and Water Gas shift reaction to produce fuel molecules like H2

• Catalyst development to produce Methane from the captured CO2

• Enhancing productivity of selected Micro-Algae for production of Bio- diesel• Plant Cost optimization through in-house designing and erection work

THE ROAD MAP Government of India has declared its

policy on CO2 abatement by the announcement and adoption of the ‘National Action Plan on Climate Change’.

It has also made voluntary commitment at the Copenhagen Summit that the Country shall decrease its Carbon Intensity by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050.

The bulk of CO2 is emitted by the Thermal Plants in the Power Sector. For EPA regulations to be implemented there have to be a road map as to how this can be done without major impact on the cost or efficiency of the Thermal Plants

Solution lies in… The thermal plants in India have a

thermal efficiency of 35% and an emission ratio of 0.90Kg/kWh of CO2 emissions as published by CEA. The reduction of 20% intensity would translate to a decrease of 0.20Kg/kWh of CO2 emissions i.e. below 0.70Kg/kWh CO2 emissions by 2020.

This decrease is possible by a combination of abatement and recycling measures. The CO2 reduction by an Amine system of 30% CO2 capture would mean a decrease of Thermal Efficiency by 2%

Recycling of CO2 The CO2 so captured needs to be either

compressed to be used in Enhanced Oil Recovery or recycled. The better option would be that the same be recycled.

The system additions to the existing thermal plants would be a two stage gasifier to use up this CO2. This would help recycle the Carbon of the CO2 and the treated/ converted CO would be re-fed into the Boiler by means of a Gas Burner.

This two stage gasifier would be made of a Gasifier Chamber where the Coal is gasified by an Oxy Fuel Process and this heated Gas fed into the second Reactor where treated Carbon is fed to react with the CO2 being fed from the Amine stripper. The CO2 so fed would be converted into CO having a LHV of 2414 kcal/Kg or 64.37% coal equivalent in terms of the Indian Coal having an average heat value of 3750 kcal/Kg

Application Potential:

Long Term• Deployment of the Technology to Actual Power Plants of NTPC through BHEL / TOSHIBA or any other major player

Immediate• Green Energy Technology Centre (GETC) being set-up for Teaching & Research (M. Tech & PhD)

Future action plan:Efforts are underway to extend the scope of the process by incorporation a Coal gasifier and recycling of carbon through collaborative research and Distributive Research Initiatives (DRI) with Research Organizations and Power Industries.

• India’s position with regard to Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) is very clear.

We don’t make any commitment at this stage regarding deployment of CCS technologies. India advocates very strongly the Carbon Capture & Sequestration. • Some of the demo pilot projects include.

-Pilot project on Geological CO2 sequestration in basalt rock formation. The question of adoption of CCS

will depend on this technology being cost effective.

-Projects under DST sponsored National Program on Carbon Sequestration (NPCS)
