1. Introduction

Gujarat is rich in renewable energy sources predominantly in solar, wind and bio energy. It has already taken the lead over other states in renewable energy initiatives, particularly in solar power generation. The state of Gujarat endeavours to become the leader in terms of capacity and introduction of new technologies in other renewable energy sources also like wind, biomass, OTEC, tidal energy.

Denmark has gone from being 99% dependent on foreign fossil fuel to being completely energy self-sufficient. Thirty years of focused energy policy, implemented after the 1973 oil crisis, has catapulted Denmark ahead of most other nations in the use of renewable energy technology. The Danish government has set the goal to be completely independent of fossil fuels by 2050.

To take this vision of the Government of Gujarat forward, the seminar on “Renewable energy: current scenario and future focus” was organised by Government of Gujarat, Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) in collaboration with the Royal Danish Embassy and Confederation of Indian Industries and with the support of Industrial Extension Bureau (iNDEXTb) at Mahatma Mandir on 3 October 2011. The objective of the seminar was to promote investment, technology transfer and related activities in renewable energy between Denmark and Gujarat.

Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, inaugurated the seminar and said that strategic planning for renewable energy could be synonymous with climate justice for the generation next.

Honourable Chief Minister stressed that just 0.01% of the State‟s land can produce

10,000 MW of solar energy.

The seminar witnessed participation of H. E. Ambassador Freddy Svane who pointed out that Gujarat has the potential to be a model for energy efficient technology.

Prominent among those present at the seminar included Honourable Minister of State for Energy Saurabh Patel, Principal Secretary Industries and Mines, Mr. Maheshwar Sahu, IAS, Principal Secretary Energy and Petrochemicals DJ Pandian, IAS and energy experts from Denmark.

Session Details

Welcome Address by Mr. Sahu, Principal Secretary, IAS, Industries and Mines, Government of Gujarat

Mr. Sahu welcomed the audience and spoke on green energy developments in the state. He pointed out that

Gujarat has taken a lead towards harnessing green energy. He stressed that Gujarat under the dynamic leadership of the Hon‟ble Chief Minister, is taking various steps to promote clean energy. He recollected that the idea of having this knowledge sharing event was generated during the meeting of H. E. Ambassador Freddy Svane and the Hon‟ble Chief Minister of Gujarat in June-July 2011. He added that there will be series of similar knowledge sharing events on the Vibrant Gujarat platform.

Welcome Note by Mr. Pandian, IAS, Energy and Petrochemicals, Government of Gujarat

Mr. Pandian welcomed the Hon‟ble Chief Minister, dignitaries on the dais and the delegates of the seminar. He

mentioned that Gujarat is a policy driven state and it is the first state to introduce policy to provide clean gas and clean water to people of Gujarat. The policy was driven by how to combat the problems of climate change and how to provide good quality of life to people of Gujarat and India. Currently the policy states that 20% of the energy supplied to the population of Gujarat should be from clean sources by 2020. He mentioned that the Solar Policy was announced in 2009. Government of Gujarat has taken a politically risky decision to increase tariff for solar energy, but currently the state is reaping the benefits of this decision. In the next 3-6 months there are several projects to be set in operation in the state.

He spoke that Gujarat is the first state to announce the creation of a Solar Park that is designed to have all necessary infrastructure facilities. He added that in wind energy as well, capacity of 10,000 MW is being planned in the state.

He welcomed the audience stating that Gujarat is the state full of solar energy and the state where winds blow favourably. He reiterated his pleasure to see the delegates of the seminar who got together to discuss and debate on the issues of clean energy sector in the historical building of Mahatma Mandir.

Keynote Address by H.E. Freddy Svane, Ambassador, the Royal

Danish Embassy

Mr. Svane greeted the dignitaries and the participants of the seminar. He was very pleased to realise how fast things can be organised in the state of Gujarat. He recollected his recent visit to Gujarat to inaugurate the factory of the Danish company in Dahej. He pointed out that it is commendable that interactions with the Hon‟ble Chief Minister of Gujarat were very efficient with outcomes of those interactions within a short time span – he mentioned that the seminar on renewable energy is one of those prompt outcomes. He further spoke that energy is not just something that we buy; it is one of the most important components of the society. Mr. Svane added that Gujarat is the state that is setting new benchmarks and Danish companies are looking forward to invest in Gujarat as this state shows sustainable growth.

Mr. Svane continued his speech pointing out that Denmark being a small country (population of Denmark is only 5.5 million people) can boast of various visionary collaborations. Gujarat is perceived as one of the most favourable destinations and Mr. Modi is perceived as an extremely smart and business oriented leader. He appreciated the wise and proactive leadership of the Hon‟ble Chief Minister and suggested that one day many will be inspired by the present developments in Gujarat.

He further spoke that Denmark is a very small country. He recollected the oil crisis in early 1970s, when the country realised that it was important to change its energy sourcing pattern and rely on own resources available within Denmark.

Instead of buying expensive oil as fuel, the country decided to reinvent a very old traditional form of energy – wind turbines, the most sustainable source of energy for the society of Denmark. Today Denmark is a leading country in terms of wind power generated. He also spoke that Denmark is looking forward to close cooperation in order to develop not only solar, but also wind and other energy efficient technologies.

He suggested that it is required to have a holistic strategy in place that will encompass all green technologies. He was convinced that the state of Gujarat will be the perfect place to create a holistic strategy for sustainable energy in India. He was of the opinion that the cooperation should not only remain at the level of government to government interactions, but also include business to business, because it is essential to have private sector to be involved in the process.

He appreciated that the state of Gujarat is known for not only planning for its projects but for taking actual steps and implementing them.

Mr. Svane reiterated the importance of harnessing wind power that is poised to bring sustainability and prosperity to people of Gujarat. The importance of tie up with Denmark is an imperative due to availability of mature technology and vast experience in harnessing wind energy in his country. He was pleased to know the cooperation between Denmark and Gujarat and expressed hope that it will further improve in future.

He sincerely thanked the government officials for supporting this initiative. Renewable energy is cheap and Gujarat has the best possibilities to harness it in the state. He concluded his speech stating that there are various challenges that Denmark managed to sort out and would be happy to share that experience with Gujarat. The issues that are yet to be solved can be addressed jointly in future.

Address by Mr. Narendra Modi, Hon‟ble Chief Minister, Gujarat

Mr. Modi greeted the Royal Danish Embassy, colleagues from the state government and the participants. He

expressed his happiness to be a part of the important seminar organised jointly by the government of Gujarat and the Royal Danish Embassy. He pointed out that it is a very important moment in the history of renewable energy sector. It marks the coming together of Denmark and Gujarat. Denmark is the global leader in wind power. Gujarat is emerging as global hub of renewable energy. He was very impressed to know that the Government of Denmark has set a goal of being completely independent of fossil fuel by 2050. Gujarat too believes in setting ambitious goals and realizing them.

Mr. Modi spoke that Gujarat is the first state to develop a 500 MW Solar Park in the country. Blessed by nature in the form of strong radiation, Gujarat has huge potential in solar energy. If only 0.1% of Gujarat‟s land is set aside for solar energy, the potential is 10,000 MW of solar power! In wind energy too, Gujarat is strategically placed, with a long coast line of 1,600 km. Blending nature‟s gift with human endeavour, Gujarat is committed to renewable energy.

Mr. Modi further deliberated on energy saving issues. He stated that the issue of how to generate renewable energy is a secondary one. The primary issue should be how to save energy in an environment of ever increasing energy needs. It is also possible to live a quality life even by consuming lesser energy. It is possible to produce more, both in agriculture and industry, by consuming less. This issue has become important in view of climate change. It is required to organize life styles and production cycles in a way that energy is saved.

The Hon‟ble Chief Minister pointed out that increasing consumption will not help the society to come out of the vicious cycle of carbon emission. Mr. Modi added that he has listed some thoughts on this in his book on climate change which is titled as „Convenient Action: Gujarat’s response to Challenges of Climate Change’. Some simple ways in which energy can be saved are mentioned in this book. For example, a paradigm shift from ground water irrigation to surface water irrigation has been brought in the

state by constructing thousands of minor irrigation structures. Very simple measures like farm ponds and check dams have saved energy required for drawing ground water. On the other hand, it has brought up groundwater levels. With participation of people, the state has constructed half a million such water harvesting structures. Drip and sprinkler irrigation has been popularised in the state to save water and thereby save energy. The government widely resorted to use of energy efficient devices in Government buildings. A small initiative like forming the Child Energy Guardians (Bal urja rakshak dal) to create awareness has gone a long way in saving energy.

He further spoke that the second important issue is transportation. A sizeable portion of the energy is required in transporting the means of energy – which not only involves cost and enroute losses but has further environmental impacts. Learning from the experience in conventional energy, he suggested development of technologies and devising systems so that losses are minimal. Mr. Modi mentioned that it is essential to start producing energy in a more decentralized way so that it does not need to be transported or transmitted. He added that it is required to set up such technologies and processes which are sustainable. He was glad to say that recent thinking on Renewable Energy is addressing many of these issues. Producing solar power on roof tops, in fields, solar powered devices and gadgets are examples of such solutions where not only renewable energy is generated but it is generated in a decentralized way.

He continued his speech deliberating that it is not enough to tap hitherto untapped sources. Total shift in the entire chain of energy management is required; the way energy is produced, transmitted, distributed, transported and consumed. Whether it is non-renewable energy or renewable energy, the focus should be on efficiency in generation, transmission and distribution. Presently the focus is on making the generation of renewable energy cheaper. But tomorrow even if a break-through in technology is achieved, the need to optimize its management across the chain still remains. He mentioned that the place where the seminar was held is being developed as a „Solar city‟. Gujarat is the first state in the country to introduce the concept of a solar city. Government of India has announced Gandhinagar as the Model Solar City.

Further he spoke that the state has signed Power Purchase Agreements for almost 1,000 MW of solar power. In wind power, with an installed capacity of 2,255 MW, Gujarat is contributing more than 4,500 million units of electricity. Thus, more than 3 million tonnes of coal are saved & carbon dioxide emission of 4.5 million tonnes avoided every year. The government has created a conducive environment for this sector through comprehensive Solar and Wind Energy Policy. Gujarat also has strong potential of biomass energy and is exploring it in a focused way. The state has also taken definite steps to tap the potential of tidal energy.

Mr. Modi further spoke that the commitment to renewable energy is a subset of the commitment to address the issue of climate change. He addressed this as an issue of „Climate Justice‟. It is a part of the state‟s concern for future generations. It is a part of the state‟s concern for the poor and the less privileged who are the worst sufferers of climate change. Gujarat is one of the four Governments in the world which has a separate department for climate change. The government of Gujarat has dedicated Rs. 36 billion for this issue. But he stated that further improvements are required. He spoke that it is a goal to be the best not only in harnessing present day needs, but also in conserving them for future. He was certain that the seminar would suggest new ways to promote investment, technology innovation and transfer in these fields.

He concluded his speech by stating the importance of exchanging views and ideas to make this world a better place to live. The debate is no longer on why renewable energy. It is only on how to use renewable energy in an efficient and economic way. Mr. Modi pointed out that the gathering would throw more light on the way forward and would be of great service to humanity. The whole world is looking for right answers to many questions in the field.

Presentation on “Renewable Energy Policy: Implementation in Gujarat” by Mr. D.P Joshi

Mr. Joshi initiated his presentation stating that this is the century in which we should learn to live without fossil fuels.

The growth of renewable energy in Gujarat is very impressive. This growth wouldn‟t have been possible without industry participation and leadership of government on policy initiatives. He said that Gujarat pioneered in enacting the nation‟s first Wind Energy policy in 1993. It also was the first state in the country to come out with a Solar Policy in 2009.

He described some of the initiatives taken by GEDA under the leadership of the government of Gujarat. He mentioned that along with these policies, Gujarat was also the leader in coming out with the first wind power and solar power project in

the country.

He mentioned that Indo-Danish partnership came into existence with establishment of the first 10 MW mega-scale demo wind farm at Lamba, Jamnagar in 1990. This partnership led to establishment of further 2,350 MW wind farms in Gujarat as of September 2011. He requested the participants to celebrate the achievements of this partnership between Gujarat and Denmark.

He informed that currently Gujarat has a potential of generating 10,000 MW through wind energy (a very conservative estimate – the optimistic potential being around 20,000 MW). He briefed the audience about the Wind Power Policy which was amended in 2009.

He further presented a case study of Solar Park at Charaka in Patan district in Gujarat, which is the first of its kind in India. It covers an area of 2,024 hectares. It is estimated that once commissioned, it will generate 500 MW of clean power from solar. He briefed the audience that the components of Solar Park include solar thermal / PV generation based projects, solar components‟ manufacturing / assembling units, research & development units and capacity building projects. Government provides single window facility for solar power project developers for providing common infrastructure facilities like:

• Land • Water • Power evacuation system • Road

Framework for getting approval from a single window agency – GPCL for Solar Park Development in Gujarat

Renewable energy sector received a major boost during the last two Vibrant Gujarat Summits held in 2009 and 2011. Government of Gujarat had announced special incentive packages for solar and wind power generation projects.

During Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors‟ Summit 2009, 70 MoUs were signed for solar and wind power generation projects, which are estimated to generate 10,321 MW with capital investments proposed of Rs. 108,320 crore. It is also estimated that this investment will provided employment to more than 45,000 people.

October, 2011

In Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2011, 66 MoUs were signed for generating 7,761 MW (solar – 2,440 MW, wind – 5,071 MW and tidal – 250 MW) with proposed investments worth Rs. 66,281 crore, which envisages employment for 40,082 people.

To ensure states leadership in renewable energy sector, planning will play a very crucial role. As per the current situation where the state is already a leader in solar and wind power generation, the state should also plan to co-harness the biomass potential in Gujarat by providing necessary policy interventions on the lines of Solar and Wind Power Policy. State should also exploit the potential of geothermal, tidal and wave energy. He also advised that the state should come out with energy conservation schemes in industries and buildings. Based on this planning, he threw light on Gujarat‟s strategy on capacity additions in renewable sources of energy. These capacity additions are detailed out in the table below:

India has an ambition of 20:20:20 by 2020 where it envisages reducing carbon emission by 20%, increase energy efficiency by 20% and increase share of renewable energy to 20% by 2020. Gujarat has already taken measures to increase the share of renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. Now, the state is also required to take measures for efficient energy utilization in state. On these lines Mr. Joshi suggested few measures which can be taken for efficient energy utilization described below:

Energy audit in government, domestic, commercial and industrial sectors.

Popularization of energy efficient devices.

Upgrading energy efficiency levels in the industrial sector.

Walk-through energy audit (WTEA): mapping energy use in the small- scale sector.

Investment Grade Energy Audit (IGEA) – Demonstration Projects in 25 selected buildings.

Energy efficiency in agricultural pumping sector - 60 MW load reduction through 11,000 energy efficient pumping sets.

He concluded his session by describing the vision of the state for the sector as follows:

Strengthening institutional mechanism for addressing R & D

Human resource development at all levels

Capacity building of existing manufacturers of renewable energy devices

Preparation of Roadmap for ECBC for Gujarat

Implementation of REC & PAT mechanism for renewable energy and energy efficiency

CDM projects for wind, biomass, solar and energy efficiency

Seminar on Renewable Energy: current scenario and future

Seminar proceedings and way forward: 3rd

October, 2011

Presentation on “Wind Power and Development of Smart Grids in Denmark” by Mr. Ole Odgaard

He started his presentation by stating that his presentation would focus on leveraging Denmark‟s experience and expertise in wind energy for Gujarat. Through a map he described how the wind energy sector has grown in Denmark.

He further informed that the energy sector of Gujarat and Denmark are very similar. Gujarat is a power surplus state and exports energy, oil, gas and electricity. Denmark also exports energy. Both have impressive potential for wind power generation which makes them a perfect match for co-operation.

He further informed that wind power has a share of 22% of the overall power generated in Denmark, which is highest in the world. Denmark‟s previous government had an aim to increase this share to 42% by 2020. Recently, a new government has come into power, and during its campaign promised to promote green initiatives and increase share of wind energy to 50%. He said that to have a 22% share of wind energy it only costed an additional Rs.0.25 / KW to the overal cost of power to the consumers in Denmark.

He informed that a country should have an accurate wind forecast. A change in wind speed of 1 m/s results in a change of 450 MW generation in the present system. Thus we need to provide logical forecasts, which stays accurate at all levels by developing computerized models which can forecast/predict wind energy capacity.

He further described how the wind energy was balanced in Nordic market. It is due to strong transmission grids and interconnectors and coherent electricity markets in Nordic region. There is a large grid system (only one transmission grid in Denmark) which provides access to sale and back-up capacity + interconnections to neighbouring countries. Up to 50% more electricity as needed by Denmark passes through its grid due to

external transit. Nord Pool is a fully liberalised market which ensures cost-effective back-up capacity in Nordic region. Thus, effective Grid management leads to guaranteed transmission and distribution of renewable energy.

The new government has proposed 50% share of wind energy, which is not possible in a traditional electricity system. Hence there is a need of new system to facilitate wind power in Denmark. If wind is heavy, then wind power supply may exceed the actual demand by 50%. If wind power will be stopped 1,000 hours / year, 22% of marginal wind power may be wasted, which will also lead to decrease in market value of wind power. Therefore, need for new system and tools to facilitate more wind power in the future arises.

They will be able to handle 50% of electricity demand by increasing production and use of electricity. They will reduce the consumption of energy, but increase the consumption of electricity. They will reduce electric consumption in transportation sector and district heating systems.

Natural gas turbines are the quickest response to market signals (higher electricity prices)

Coal fired power units are required to operate down to 35% of rated power. Some are now capable to operate down to 10%

Heat accumulators decouple electricity and heat demand

Some small-scale plants now sell back-up capacity to grid companies and receive surplus DH from other plants

To further interegrate wind power generation, Denmark would be required to extend its grid network to neighboring countries and between East and West DK. It should have flexible power demand. Demand side management is being given increased importance in Denmark. They have set up intelligent meter systems in each household which can transfer signals not only from the producer to consumer but also from the consumer to the producer, so detailed information about how much electricity is consumed by each household is available. Further they need large-scale heat pumps for district heating: storing electricity heated water. Further fuel cells can also be an option to store electricity.

He finally conluded his session by mentioning that solution to efficiently manage power is Smart Grid. The future lies in smart grids. There would also be a lot of export opportunities in this sector. Denmark has already taken a lead in it and together Gujarat can leverage on Denmark‟s technological expertise to manage power through Smart Grids.

Presentation on “Wind Energy: Current Trend & Challenges for Future Growth” by Mr. Harish Mehta

He started his presentation describing the need for renewable sources of energy sources. He also tried to recall his old days during 1990s, when they were not clear why they should pursue renewable energy. Today, it is very clear that time is not far when the available fossil fuel will get depleted. Its cost is already very high and still rising. Thus, there is a clear need for an alternative source of energy.

He informed that any delay in harnessing of renewable sources of energy today, results in a permanent loss. He mentioned that for sustainable development around the globe can only be achieved if energy, ecology and economy are taken care of together. Harnessing renewable energy holds the key to sustainable development.

Globally renewable energy sector has grown impressively in 2010. The share of renewable energy is estimated at 16% of the global energy consumption. Investments in this sector have also grown by 30% to a record $211 billion. Even emerging and developing economies witnessed increased share of renewable energy in their policy targets, investments, supply and use.

He said that India is the 5th biggest market in the world for wind energy. It has an installed capacity base of 14,156 MW during financial year 2010-11. It has an estimated potential of generating 100,000 MW of energy through wind energy. It has witnessed growth of more than 100% in last 5 years.

Gujarat is fortunate enough to have visionary leadership of Chief Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, who is very well assisted by effective administrative setup in the state supporting industrial growth.

Gujarat State has wind power generation potential of 10,000 MW. It has witnessed more than 200% growth in wind installation in the last 4 years. It is estimated that Gujarat will surpass Maharashtra during FY 2011-12 in terms of cumulative capacity installation. Cumulative wind power generated as of now is 10,675 MUs. Wind energy has a share of 13% in the overall power generation in the state.

Global wind generation installed capacity at present stands at 194 GW. The market was valued at more than US $96 billion (EUR 70 billion) in end-2010. Capacity added in 2010 represents investment worth USD 65 billion. Overall investment in 2010 went up by 31%. The market grew by 30% in the last 5 years only, which is also likely to continue.

In India wind energy has already surpassed the generation from nuclear energy. It is off-setting 18 MT of CO2

annually. It is estimated that wind energy alone is lighting up 8 million households in India. Wind represented 16% of total installed power generation capacity in the country in FY 2010-11. It contributed 30% of all private sector installation including conventional power and 79% of new capacities installed of total renewable energy added installed capacity in India in 2010-11.

Wind energy is widely acknowledged for environmental benefits but is lesser known for its Socio-Economic Benefits. Below are socio-economic benefits of wind energy generation projects:

Most projects are in remote and far-off areas o Leads to rural development, thereby helping government realising its goal

Direct and indirect employment o Major employment generation in rural areas

Economic benefits o Savings in coal + crude

Environmental benefits o Savings in local, regional & global emissions

Broadly there are three revenue models which have emerged in India. They are preferential tariff model, captive model and REC model.

Revenue models for wind energy projects, emerged in India

Current challenges in the Indian Wind Energy market are as follows:

• Infirm nature • Wind energy is variable and unpredictable in nature • Treated a must run station

• Connectivity and evacuation • RE sources remotely located. • High transmission charges and losses for transmitting to load centers • Evacuation is responsibility of CTU/STU under the Act • Need to have separate treatment for transmission charges and losses for wind

• Scheduling • As per IEGC all wind generators have to schedule their wind generations.

• Direct Tax Code (DTC) • With DTC be introduced, investment from retail segment may get hampered

He suggested that way forward for this sector would be –

more states will adopt CERC RE tariff regulation.

Certainty on the REC Floor and Forbearance price will lead to increased REC participation,

Uncertainty on the continuation of AD after the current plan or DTC coming in, will shift the emphasis on IPPs,

GBI rates may be revisited and revised

the cap of 4,000 MW may be removed,

increasing trend in preferential tariffs will continue,

New transmission pricing will result in open access transactions crossing state boundaries and

With multiple revenue streams, de-risking of revenue will be taken care off. He concluded that the growth drivers of market acceleration in India would be as follows:

The factors which would act as enablers for this growth would be political & regulatory support, new innovative project financing models and lastly availability of cost-effective technology.

Rising Power Demand & Need for Mitigation of Climate Change

New Policy Initiatives like GBI, REC, RPO & CERC Tariff Reforms

Increased participation by corporate & IPP

Presentation on „Bio-based Products: What‟s in it for India‟ by Ms. Rikke Festersen

Ms. Festersen briefly spoke on Novozymes, its global presence and research and development achievements of the firm. Novozymes is the world leader in industrial enzymes and microorganisms. Its products serve more than 30 different industries. More than 700 products are sold in 130 countries. It also employs more than 5,400 people worldwide. It is a market leader in all main industries and has 47% global market share within industrial enzymes. The company invests approximately 14% of sales in R&D. It has more than 6,500 patents granted or pending.

Novozymes uses science to reduce carbon emissions for many of our daily needs; helping to create a cleaner and safer world today and in the future.

She further spoke that biofuel is one step to a future of cleaner and renewable energy. Global R&D focus of Novozymes lies in the area of cellulosic ethanol. The company is presently working on many feedstocks and technologies with more than 150 employees dedicated to cellulosic ethanol.

Ms. Festersen further discussed that the next generation of biofuels is produced from agriculture residues, forestry residues, cultivated energy crops and municipal solid waste. The most successful commercialization happens in regions with conducive policy conditions.

The world has the ability to produce close to half a trillion litres of cellulosic ethanol using agricultural residues and forest products. As per the study on “Technical potentials of biomass for energy services from current agriculture and forestry in selected countries, 2010”, India‟s cellulosic ethanol could be an important global fuel source.

She further spoke on various approaches in enzymatic hydrolysis explored by Novozymes to improve enzyme performance, to improve process compatibility with enzyme hydrolysis, to improve enzyme production cost.

Ms. Festersen also dwelled on a new product of Novozymes, the first commercially viable enzyme – Novozyme‟s CELLIC® CTEC2. It provides many benefits that are helping to enable partners‟ processes to become commercially viable. Presently cellulosic ethanol technology is reaching commercialization. Production costs for cellulosic ethanol are becoming competitive with gasoline and starch/sugar-based ethanol.

She further spoke about a new study conducted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. It has assessed the potential for next-generation biofuels in India from 2010 to 2020. The study says that less than 15% of the available biomass converted without changing land use patterns. A number of barriers exist so policy support is needed to realize potential. The study reveals that the next generation of ethanol is highly beneficial for India.

Energy security: India can replace 59% of its annual gasoline consumption by 2020 with next-generation biofuels.

Employment: Create ~1 million jobs between 2010 and 2020 mainly non outsourcable jobs in rural areas

Economy: Generate US$ 20 billion in sales rather than spending US$ 25 billion on oil import

Environment: Save CO2 and reducing GHG emission from gasoline related road transport by 69%

Gujarat has been identified among the 6 top states with the highest potential for the commercialisation of next generation ethanol.

However, there are number of challenges and barriers present in India. Ms. Festersen spoke about absence of coherent market for biomass residues, requirement of biomass residues infrastructure, shortage of capital, etc. Main barrier is the perceived investment risk in an uncertain policy environment with no clear incentives.

She also mentioned several policy requirements for development of next generation of biofuels. To support production it is required to provide load guarantees and production subsidies for early stage plants. It is also required to support biomass development and collection through farm policies. To secure demand it is essential to set mandatory blending targets and remove technical barriers.

She concluded that the next generation of biofuels is driving the infrastructure towards a bio-based economy.

Presentation on Danish Energy Strategy 2050 and Carbon Markets by Mr. Santonu Kashyap

Mr. Kashyap started his presentation stating that Denmark‟s economy has grown by 70% along with nearly

stable energy consumption from 1980-2010. Renewable energy currently accounts for more than 19% of Gross

Energy Consumption in Denmark, dominated by wind, wood and biomass.

Danish Energy Consumption and GDP

He represented the key elements of the Danish Energy Strategy 2050,

which included:

1. Less fossil fuels (18% reduction in the use of fossil fuels in

energy, transport, extraction and refining by 2020 - New government

initiatives for increased use of biomass, wind, biogas and biofuels and

improved energy efficiency will lead to an 18% reduction in the use of

fossil fuels by 2020 compared to 2009, while consumption of renewable

energy is expected to increase)

2. More renewable energy (Share of renewable energy in

consumption 33 % by 2020. Share of renewable energy in transport

sector will be 10% by 2020)

3. Lower energy consumption (Energy consumption down by 6% by 2020)

4. High security of supply

Mr. Kashyap further spoke that the Danish Energy Strategy is aimed to meet the main climate objectives:

Reduction of non-ETS emissions by 20% by 2020 (wrt 2005)

Efforts will lead to reduction of emissions by 75% by 2050

He further gave an elaborate description of the major renewable energy sectors of the country. Talking about

wind power he mentioned that windmills account for 21.9 % of the electricity consumed in Denmark.

Denmark is the global centre for Wind Turbine Development with –

40 years of accumulated wind knowledge and a well developed supply chain

Engineering & Design consultants to the wind energy industry

Universities provided knowledge for the wind power industry (i.e. DTU Technical University of Denmark,

Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy)

Denmark hosts some of the world‟s leading wind energy companies

Further in his presentation, he spoke about leadership of Denmark in offshore wind. It is the 1st mover in

wind energy having established the 1st ever wind farm in 1991. As per projections and existing plans, 15% of

Danish electricity supply will be based on offshore wind by 2014.

Global offshore wind power dominated by two Danish companies Vestas and Siemens Wind Power

(90% of accumulated installation).

World‟s largest offshore wind farm Horns Rev 11 (200 MW) and Nysted 11 (200 MW) established in

2009 and 2010

400MW Kreigers Flak is in the pipeline.

Danish organisation RISO collaborating with CWET in India to conduct offshore wind measurement

study.

Mr. Kashyap pointed out that biomass covered 10% of the Danish energy consumption in 2009. Giving of

example for clean coal technologies, he mentioned that Denmark has two state of the art power plants with

energy efficiency up to 48.2 %. Avedøre-2 combines power from a biomass steam cycle and a fossil fuel fired

ultra-supercritical steam cycle with heat recovery steam generators. The ultra supercritical steam turbine

operates at steam temperatures up to 600°C and at the time was the most advanced and efficient steam turbine

in the world. The steam system operates at 300bar pressure and 580°C steam temperature. Reheat temperature

is 600°C. Condenser pressure is 0.22bar. Boiler feedwater is partly heated by the exhaust flue gas from the gas

turbines and is fed into the boiler at 310°C. The efficiency of the fossil fuel steam cycle is rated at 48.2%.

He further spoke on energy efficiency and the initiatives undertaken in Denmark to save energy. Companies

have generated substantial energy savings by monitoring processes and making energy saving a key focus area.

The results were remarkable when the Danish company Færch Plast A/S implemented energy management.

Over a five-year-period the energy consumption per produced unit was reduced by more than 20 per cent.

Today, energy management is an integral part of the company‟s daily routines and plays an important role

when they design or purchase new production facilities. Implementing energy management has also resulted in

savings on many other resources.

Mr. Kashyap deliberated on smart grid existing in Denmark. 29% of electricity generation is based on

renewable energy (20% from wind). This is only possible because of the development of an intelligent energy
