It is not surprising India Rank 121 of 129 in Environment
Sustainability, 76 of 129 in Energy Security and 121 of 129 in Energy
Equity.

World Energy Council reported 83% Power in India is contributed by
Conventional Thermal generation, Hydro Power contributed just 13%
could provided well over 60% and Nuclear & Renewable Energy
Contributing 2% each.
In last 20 years India depended almost entirely on Coal Based power
plants and didn’t retire old and world’s most inefficient Coal Based
power plants and even new Super Thermal Units were switched to using
low grade cheap coal and either stopped building Hydro Power stations
or built Lame Duck Run of River Hydro Projects that yield just 40% of
site potential.
Instead of Rooftop Solar India largely invested in Solar Farms that
were most expensive involving high Transmission & Distribution losses
– this restricted roll out Solar PV installations.
Investment in Least Reliable WIND Power necessitate Standby Diesel Gensets.
India didn’t improve T&D Losses in badly designed Grid & Power Distribution.

India Can Cut 75%, 3 Billion Tones GHG Yearly By 2030

India’s Energy Policy is loaded entirely in favor of Costliest and
Most Polluting Coal based power. Even the latest Super Critical
Thermal Plants are not effective mainly because such units are located
in hot regions, high ambient air and circulating water temperature and
shortage of water adds up to much lower thermal efficiency and in
addition there are substantial Transmission & Distribution losses. Use
of low quality coal releases around 200 million tones of Fly Ash at
power stations, partly in air also.
Business As Usual situation may consume 2000 million tone of Coal
every year producing over 800 million tones of Fly Ash at power
stations including 160 million tones released in air by 2030.
Thus Indian power is Costliest and Most Polluting due to extensive use
of thermal coal for power generation.
Green Energy Programs to Avoid 3.0 Billion Tones of CO2 by 2030 are: -
1.] India should be developing 200,000 MW of Multipurpose Hydro
Power+, producing 800m Units of Electricity and avoiding 0.8 Billion
Tones of CO2 every year and around 40 tones of Fly Ash emissions in
air.
+ Additionally Prevent or Moderate Floods in 40 million hectares of
flood affected land and supply 500 BCM of addition Clean Blue Water
for Irrigation, Municipal other uses, reduce water pumping for
irrigation etc.
2.] 100,000 MWe of Nuclear Power shall produce around 750 BU of green
electricity avoiding 750 million tones of CO2.
3.] 200,000 MWp Solar Power with Tracking shall generate 450 BU of
green electricity to be ready by 2020.
4.] Energy Efficiency 500 BU Annually by 2030 avoiding 500 million
tones of CO2 every year.
5.] Wind, Biomass, Tidal, Bio-Fuels together shall produce 200 BU of
electricity or 200m avoid Tones of CO2.
6.] Electric Transport like Railways, Electric Vehicles, Trams etc
shall avoid 300m of CO2 in replacing petroleum. `
All these programs are Commercially Viable and produce Cheaper
Electricity than by polluting Coal Based power require just $2.5
Trillion investments including T&D. India to Lead The World in Saving
Planet Earth From Impact Of GHG/ Climate Change.
India Can Cut 75% GHG, 3 Billion Tones GHG Yearly By 2030
