DIVERSIFICATION PLAN Law Kumar Mishra | TNN Dhanbad: The public sector company Coal India Ltd has decided to enter into power production and has signed three MoUs with different electricty boards in Uttar Pradesh, Chatisgarh and Tamil Nadu for setting up 1000 megawatt capacity plants in the three states. However, the implementation of the power projects would be taken up after three years as CIL has resolved to concentrate on increasing coal production, CIL chairman, Partho S Bhattacharya told the TOI on Monday.
India's economic growth is mainly based on energy from fossil fuels like coal and therefore has considerable potential in reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well in CDM participation. CDM projects starting after January 1, 2000, are eligible to earn certified emission reductions (CERs). However the modalities and procedures of the CDM may be too complex to exploit its full benefit. This guidebook will provide a roadmap to the project developers and investors for realizing the full benefit of CDM within the allotted time frame.
Proper energy planning is essential for achieving energy security. Every country has to formulate its own policy to optimize the use of different energy sources for meeting the demands of its household, agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors. This necessitates an integrated and updated database of the production and consumption of different energy sources viz., coal, crude, petroleum, natural gas and electricity (hydro and nuclear). The present issue, "Energy Statistics 2007', is the 15th issue in the series.
South Asia being an energy-deficit region, there is a strong case for developing regional cooperation in this sector. This may take different forms. India has surplus petroleum refining capacity while other countries in the region are importers of petroleum products. The real benefits will accrue from cooperation in power generation.
The India Energy Conclave 2007 would focus on the preparedness of the Indian energy sector to keep up with the rapidly growing Indian economy. It will focus on a wide range of topics of interest to stakeholders. It would cover both conventional and non-conventional energy and focus on policy, power, coal, gas and technology.
Implementation Of 2nd Phase Of Accelerated Power Development & Reforms Plan Okayed THE government on Thursday signalled revival of distribution sector reforms by approving the long-pending implementation of remodelled second phase of Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRPII) that aims to bring down aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses of utilities to 15% within five years.
Monetary Tightening By Central Bank Begins To Take Effect Our Bureau NEW DELHI INDUSTRIAL production grew 5.4% in June 2008, higher than the 4.1% (revised) growth in May 2008 but well below the 8.9% growth in June 2007. The slower pace of industrial growth has intensified apprehensions that the growth rate of the Indian economy could slip below 8% in the current fiscal, and raises the importance of a good monsoon this year.
Nuclear energy will enable India to meet the twin challenges of energy security and environmental sustainability. It will also have major spin-offs for the development of the industries, both public and private. The 123 Agreement between India and United States of America would put an end to technology denial regimes against India that have been in place for three decades and end India's nuclear isolation. It will open the doors for India to have civil nuclear cooperation as an equal partner with the USA and the rest of the world.
This paper examines 'coal consumption-GDP (gross domestic product)' and 'gas consumption-GDP' causality in India by deploying co-integration and Granger causality techniques. Augmented Dickey-Fuller tests reveal that all series viz. per capita gas consumption, after logarithmic transformation are non-stationery and individually integrated of the order one.
