Biodiesel for National Fuel Needs - Provide local solutions for national security Offer village level energy security Short gestation periods and therefore cut down delays Technology Components can be simplified Provide employment opportunities for unskilled and semiskilled - Lead to sustainable energy solutions - Environmentally friendly 1. Biodiesel for National Fuel Needs (contd..) Background India spends $56 billion annually on oil & gas imports In 2006-2007, India consumed 146 million tons(MT) of crude oil and petroleum products-75% was imported India has only 726 MT of economic reserves of crude oil left, whereas the demand exceeds 132MMT (2006-07) (Source: MoP&G, 2006-2007) HOW TO BRIDGE SUPPLY DEFICIT? 1.

Public Perceptions Myth 1: Prices of Corn, Wheat & Cereals have gone up because of biofuels Fact : This may apply to Alcohol only made from grains. Even-so,the acreage is not substantial enough to make such an impact. . 4. Public Perceptions (contd..) Myth 2: Adverse impact on food security of poor and will worsen hunger Fact : Hunger is observed even when there is no food shortage. Poor need income for which they can buy food. Biodiesel generates income from plantation, caring and finally using it for livelihood 4. Public Perceptions (contd..) Myth 3: There is no land available for biodiesel. Fact : Land is available in small amounts but with many Panchayat around the country. Additionally on the roadside plantations and hedges also possible. 4. Public Perceptions (contd..) Myth 4: Energy Balance (Uses more Energy than it gives) Fact : Depends whether highly mechanised agriculture, irrigation and long distance transports involved. 4. Public Perceptions (contd..) Myth 5: Farmers are unwilling to grow non-edible oil seeds Fact : Depends on the price they get and alternative incomes from land 5. Biodiesel and Climate Change CDM Opportunity and Biofuel To finance projects in developing countries to reduce GHG gases. To implement clean technology and sell the resulting carbon credits to country that can use it to meet GHG targets. To identify biofuel baseline and monitoring methodology. To strengthen the sustainable development goal of CDM, which is currently under achieved. 5. Biodiesel and Climate Change (contd..) Current Status of Biofuel in CDM As of June 2006, no baseline methodologies for biofuel production and utilization have been approved by the CDM Executive Board. However, five methodologies have been submitted and are under review. Approval of one or more of these would improve chances for biofuel CDM projects significantly. - 30TDP biodiesel CDM projects in Andhra Pradesh, India - CDM project on biodiesel submitted by PCRA to MoEF 5. Biodiesel and Climate Change (contd..) Overview of Project 5. Biodiesel and Climate Change (contd..) Overview of Project (contd..) Some observations from the table in previous slide: • Most projects are in Thailand, and all of them in Asia. • Most projects produce biodiesel, only one ethanol. • Biofuel sources differ much, including palm oil and different types of waste. • The project scale (in terms of CER generation) is comparable to most other CO2 projects such as energy efficiency and many biomass projects, i.e. 50 – 200 ktCO2/yr. • CO2 reduction, as claimed on a life-cycle basis, is between 70- 97%; often agricultural, transportation, and biofuel production emissions are considered (the latter is renewable several cases). • Four methodologies have received a ‘B’-comment from the CDM EB, implying that the methodology can be resubmitted subject to required changes. INDIAN INITIATIVES Indian Initiatives:Utilization The Government of India has been assisting farmers in cultivating Jatropha Curcas BIS has amended the specifications of diesel to permit the blending of Bio-diesel Indian Oil Corporation (R&D) has set up a biodiesel production facility of 60 kg/day at Faridabad PCRA has set up a Bio-Diesel Centre and submitted CDM project for bio-diesel activities Contd… Indian Initiatives:Utilization HPCL has also set up an experimental project at Mumbai involving 25 BEST(public transport) buses using 5 per cent, 10 per cent and 20 per cent blends of bio diesel in diesel. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. pilot plant utilizing Karanj for biodiesel has carried out successful trails on tractors in Mumbai IOC- Indian Railways have conducted successful Shatabdi Train trial runs using Biodiesel Criteria for Land Availability Department of Land Resources under Ministry of Rural Development, GOI has proposed the criteria for selection of lands for Jatropha plantation. These are: Annual rainfall should exceed 600mm The pH of soil should be less than 9 (Wasteland category – Alkaline/saline slight ) Temperature should not fall below 00 C. In the Himalayan states in India there are places located above 1500 meters where temperature falls below 00 C. Hence the elevation of lands for plantation in the Himalayas should not exceed 1500meters The slope of land should not exceed 300 The land should not be waterlogged (Wasteland Categories 6&7) The land should not be barren rocky/stony (Wasteland Category 26) Cost of cultivation of Jatropha Assumptions: Seed yield ( as in previous slide) & Seed Price: Rs 5/kg Expenditure Income Year (Rs/ha) (Rs/ha) Ist year 25445 0 2nd year 7373 625 3rd year 4933 1250 4th year 5413 10000 5th year 6313 12500 6th year 7813 18750 Wasteland that can be considered for jatropha plantation Shallow/Medium Ravinous 1.5 Mha Land with scrub 15.1 Mha Land without scrub 3.7 Mha Saline/alkaline slight 0.4 Mha Shifting cultivation 3.5 Mha Degraded forest scrub 10.9 Mha Total wasteland suitable for plantation 31.1 Mha IRADe INITIATIVES BIOFUEL EXTRACTION UNIT Bawal (Haryana) Partners Involved Village Panchayats Bawal Biodiesel Cooperative (BBC) Regional Research Station of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University, Bawal Biofuel Extraction Unit, Bawal (Haryana) Project Activities Completed Awareness Generation Formation of Bawal Bio-Diesel Cooperative (BBC) Training Programmes Policy Support Field Implementation Building Construction and Commissioning of Oil Extraction Unit Dissemination Biofuel Extraction Unit, Bawal,Haryana (contd…) Specific Objectives Formulate Micro enterprise Model for biomass based energy system at village level Provide easy access to alternative fuels in rural areas Provide sustainable livelihood options for women at village level Process locally available Jatropha and other oilseeds Dedication Ceremony of Biofuel Extraction Unit in Haryana Dedication Ceremony of Biofuel Extraction Unit in Haryana (contd…) H.E.

Studies should be done on post harvest handling methods. A series of field demonstrations must be established using currently available information, to highlight the economic viability of cultivation of species such as Jatropha as alternative options on degraded lands and community wastelands. It is necessary to establish clonal seed orchards and develop mass multiplication techniques to ensure easy supply of elite planting material to growers. Contd… Issues to be Addressed Agronomic studies to standardise cultivation practices such as spacing, pruning, nutrition and production system must be carried out under different agroecological conditions Realistic economics of production must be worked out for a range of soil, environment and management conditions. Nodal agencies must be identified in different regions to procure superior quality seeds and plants and technical information. Roadmap…. How to mobilize cultivation? What scale is possible? What policy framework (financial interventions, mandate and standards) is needed? What coordination is needed with vehicle industries? Cost sharing, modernization of equipment. Will they also need direct subsidy? What institutional structure is suitable that permits flexibility and reduces constraints and barriers? Can CDM help in generating the needed revenues? What policy should be avoided to ensure CDM benefits?
