German Knowledge in Action !
The Impact of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development: Rio + 20
11
Why do we need a Conference on Sustainable Development?
The world today has 7 billion people by 2050, there will be
9 billion.
One out of every 5 people (1,4 billion) currently lives with
USD $1,25 per day or less.
1,5 billion people in the world don´t have access to
electricity.
Almost one billion people go hungry every day.
Greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, and more than a
third of all known species could go extinct if climate change
continues unchecked.
The Impact of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development: Rio + 20
12
What is the Conference on Sustainable Development Rio + 20?
World leaders, participants from the private sector, NGOs
and other groups, came together to shape how we can
reduce poverty, advance social equity and ensure
environmental protection on an ever more crowded planet.
Two main objectives were drawn:
How to build a green economy to achieve sustainable
development and lift people out of poverty;; and
How to improve international coordination for
sustainable development.
Mexican Government: Policies according to Reality?
13
Main Actions
Energetic Strategy: 35% of Total Energy Generation will be
produced from Non-fossil Energies for year 2026.
Construction of 2 Photovoltaic Parks, with a Total Capacity of 33,6
Megawatt (enough to power up 330.000 a 100 kwh lights).
Reductions on VAT: Deductions of 100% on Machinery and
Equipment over investments related to energy generation from
renewable sources.
Fund for Energetic Sustainability energetic efficiency,
renewable sources, clean technologies, diversification.
Mexican Government: Policies according to Reality?
14
Political and Economic Paradigm
Close to 30% of what is billed in the
Energetic Sector in Mexico is subsidized
(electric energy and gasoline).
Subsidies apply to residential, agricultural
and industrial sectors.
It is extremely difficult for the Mexican
government to promote clean energies.
Mexico occupy the 9th place worldwide in
oil reserves and 12th in oil-related income.
Conclusions
15
Social Projects contribute to generate better living
conditions for society while employing environmental-
friendly energies.
action are in line with the UN Rio + 20 Conference by
achieving a sustainable development scheme.
Mexico is not developing its green-energies potential due to
a political and economic agenda.
International regulations can make a difference
CRE was able to import and develop German Knowledge on
behalf of the Mexican society in a sustainable way.

Renewable energy in India
Capital Cost-‐ Lowering the cost of manufacture
Fluctuating radiation and lack of authentic radiation data
Lack of trained man power-‐ inexperienced and insufficient manpower, lack of institutional training, etc.
Policy Single tariff for entire country, local/state policy does not link central policy
Financial-‐ Banks are skeptic, low return due to
high competition, no specific feasibility study before bid.
Uniform supply across the states
Lack of costumer awareness
RE promotion Challenges !

Logistic Land availability issues (land accusation bill!), marginal farmers, power evacuation, grid network and stability, etc.
Environment: up to 48 deg C in Rajasthan, Dust storm-‐ dry and semi desert areas, hard water and salty water, etc
Lack of collaborative goal driven R & D
Lack of clarity on technologies as technologies still evolving -‐-‐Technology innovation is high
Indian R & D is not getting anyway
Lack of real commitment and misuse of subsidy
Corruption & Lack of standards
Off-‐peak seasons reduce cash flow

R. Arun Prasath SEPT20YEAR 2012, Nov 24th, Leipzig 18
Why SEMs in India should look for RE-particularly in rural areas?
SMEs role in RE promotion
Use of outdated technologies BEE estimates of saving of 25-‐30 per cent of the total energy SME contributes to nearly 70 per cent of industrial pollution ~ above 50% power usage compared to heavy industry Frequent power cuts (10 hr to 18 hr/day!) RE unprecedented growth in the last decade -‐-‐-‐huge potential for (a) equipments / products,
and (b) services. Low-‐end products (such as inverters, auxiliary equipments) -‐expertise in low-‐end products Promote rural economic growth, reduce the adverse environmental impacts, reduce carbon foot
print, promote sustainable development, and become a leader in renewable energy technologies for rural areas

Govt. programs-‐ Ministry of Power, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), etc. -‐ promote rural electrification through SMEs.
MNRE -‐ a separate ministry to promotes renewable energy for rural applications through schemes-‐ remote village electrification, village energy security projects, solar power and hydro project scheme, family type biogas plants, national biomass cook stoves initiatives, decentralised renewable energy for villages, hybrid renewable technologies, etc.
Non-‐Profit organizations/International bodies in association with government agencies promote renewable energy through SMEs
Schemes with subsidy with Small Industry Development Bank of India (SIDBI), Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development , etc.
In National Solar Mission, it is asserted The SME sector forms the backbone for manufacture of various components and systems for solar systems.
to harvest the renewable energy because of strategic geographic location and world young population.
Power cut (10-‐18 hr/day!)
SMEs -‐RE promotion potential

SMEs -‐RE promotion potential
Currently about 50% of MSMEs are in closer stage due to power crisis!
R. Arun Prasath SEPT20YEAR 2012, Nov 24th, Leipzig 21
SMEs -‐RE promotion models
Successful models: Biomass gasification systems for thermal application-‐ textile dyeing, food processing, etc Solar-‐grid hybrid models for sewing machines (REEEP supported project with SELCO + SEWA BANK) SME clusters model to promote EE and RE (Several units together to install solar power plant) Linking the technology with businesses that support livelihood in rural areas, e.g, TERI model Off-‐grid/micro grid systems are appropriate for rural energy supply (Village Level Entrepreneur)
Cluster Model: UNIDO's ongoing projects + BEE has initiated EE and RE in selected in 12 selected energy-intensive MSME clusters
The sectors covered: Brass, Ceramics, Dairy, Foundry and Hand Tools
R. Arun Prasath SEPT20YEAR 2012, Nov 24th, Leipzig
22
Lack of awareness Limited access to information, knowledge and technology Lack of network within SMEs Fragmentation of policies across several government agencies Limited access to finance technological and market uncertainty are particularly high, raising risk premiums Lack of capacity of SMEs in adopting clean technologies Training facilities and innovation in RE field is very less and hence very few SMEs are interested in it.
SMEs -‐RE promotion challenges
R. Arun Prasath SEPT20YEAR 2012, Nov 24th, Leipzig
23
Under-‐pricing and detrimental subsidies on conventional energy favor unsustainable patterns of consumption and greater emissions Remote communities are difficult to reach (increased costs for sales, after-‐ sales service; repair; question of spare parts availability). Supply-‐side barriers barriers in the supply chain for the delivery of EE/RE technology and services. Demand-‐side barriers barriers restricting the level of demand for EE/RE technology and services. Barriers to national uptake barriers restricting the national uptake and implementation of EE/RE technology and services. Policy barriers barriers in the policy and knowledge within governmental institutions for the implementation of EE/RE technology and services-‐ No REC for off-‐grid projects! There are caps
