Objective of this Presentation
As Indias oil consumption is increasing, world oil
supply will soon stabilise and then start dwindling
while oil prices are bound to rise further
For economic as well as environmental reasons weneed to shift to alternative non-polluting sources
of energy.
The aim of this presentation is to raise questions
and provoke discussion regarding the future ofIndias energy policy and to consider various
possible solutions

OurOilObsession
Our civilization has evolved based on an abundant
supply of cheap oil
The transportation industry and agricultural
fertilizers heavily depend on oil The current world oil production and consumption
rates are almost equal
World oil consumption grew 2.9% from2003 to
2004 (projection from Quarter 1, IEA, 2004)
Oil demand is projected to rise to 121 million
barrels per day by 2025 (International Energy Outlook, EIA,2004)

Indias Energy Demand
From2001 2004, Indias oil
demand has been growing by
2.68% but it will grow by
6.33% from2003 2004
(projection from
Qtr 1, IEA
,2004)
Oil and gas represent 38% of
Indias energy consumption
(IBEF, 2004)
By 2010, India will be the
fourth largest consumer of oil
and gas in the world (IBEF,2004)
(In fact, Chinas demand growth is
even more - disastrously - rapid)

ContradictingOptimistic Views
The Energy Crisis is often overlooked based on thefollowing misconceptions:
1. Higher prices will bring in larger investments, which will
lead to more production2. Rise in prices will lower consumption
3. Oil shale and tarsands will replace conventional oil
4. Fudging of reported reserves by oil companies and countriesfor political/economic reasons
5. Many previous crisis predictions proved wrong this onewill too
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)

Oil Economy
The world market can be said to depend on OPEC almostentirely since it has 77% of the current world oil reserves
The day-to-day market prices of oil reflect many factors like thecurrent stocks, shipments, economic situation, speculativeinvestment, etc. and not so much the size of reserves of oil
We have now reached a stage in the exploitation of the earthwhere trying harder to produce more oil can have only limitedresults
Oil consumption on a short-term basis does not depend on theprice of oil, as is the case for other goods. There is a large time
lag before consumersshift to alternatives or reduce demand
In fact, some experts believe that a rise in oil pricesincreasesdemand on a short term basis. E.g Oil and natural gas demandgrowth rates in China have been in the range of 7-15% per yearsince 1999, despite the tripling of oil pricessince then
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)

Future Exploration
The
major oil field
sin the world have already beendiscovered the largest fields are always found first
Except forsome parts of the China Sea and of the
western desert in Iraq, major regions in the world have
been fully explored. Advances in geological technology allow us to predict
promising areas for oil we now know reasonably well
where new oil will be found
Oil in the Caspian Sea has high sulfur content which
corrodes the pipes and is expensive to extract and
refine. Caspian Sea oil is not likely to become a
significant factor in the world oil scenario.
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
12/45
12
Future Extraction
The best known extraction techniques are already in use in manyof the giant fields in the Middle East
Increase in the fraction of Oil-in-Place which is actually
recovered will require diligent field management, technicalknowhow, motivation and discipline, as well as capitalinvestment, which may not always be feasible
Oil which can be recovered using these techniques could give usonly a breathing break, e.g. advanced recovery fromIndian
fields could amount to 4 MMM bbl more (Narayanan, 1999). Atcurrent Indian consumption rates, this would give us about 4yearsmore supply, though at world consumption rates, this willlast for less than 2months
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
13/45
13
ERoEI
Oil is important to us as a source ofenergy; it is not amineral resource
A certain amount of energy must be invested to recoveroil from wells
ERoEI (Energy Returned on Energy Invested) mustbe greater-than-one for the extraction to be useful
Oil is not like gold the energy invested to extract thegold is irrelevant
If enhanced extraction requiresmore energy input thanthe output oil contains, clearly, that oil will neverbeextracted
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
14/45
14
Non-conventionalOil to the Rescue?
Non-conventional oil produced from oil shale and tar
sandsmay become economical as oil pricesskyrocket
Canada and Russia may have 300 billion bbl of tar
sands and shale oil. Venezuela has 1.2 trillion bbl of oil(mixed with heavy metals and sulfur) (Campbell, 1998)
Extraction from oil shale and tarsands isslow,
expensive, heavily polluting and resource- (e.g. water)
and time-consuming It may not be possible to achieve the necessary rates of
production to meet demand by processing oil shale /
tar-sands, even when it is economical
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
15/45
15
AfterOil Natural Gas?
Natural Gas cannot be a permanent replacement for oil
Use of natural gas in daily life, (e.g. as transport fuel)requires extensive infrastructure build-up
The production of natural gas will peak between 2020 -2030 as well, hence it is only a temporary solution(Goodstein)
Delhi hasshifted to running all its public transportationbuses on gas, greatly reducing the levels of air pollution
India does not have large gas reserves. The best optionfor India is to obtain gas from Iran, but a gas pipelineacross Baluchistan (Pakistan) may have significantsecurity liabilities
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
16/45
16
SOS The Energy Emergency!
We seem to be running out of the cheap
sources of energy.
No solution is immediately apparent
The date of the oil peak is widely debated in
geological circles around the world.
We need to refocus our attention to the more
practical question ofWhat next? ratherthan debating When?
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
17/45

The Way to a New Tomorrow
Three approaches to solution
Increase supply (Scientists/Technicians/Managers)
Reduce demand (Economists / Policy makers)
Alternative sources (Scientists and Economists) Efforts are required in all three arenas
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
18/45
18
Sorry There are limits to
Supply
Geological, technical and economic
constraints limit supply growth
With advanced technology, we are aware ofmost of
the new discoveries which will be made
Increases in the ratio ofrecoveredoil to Oil-in-Placeare also limited; optimistic predictions (ofsuchincreases) should be viewed skeptically
Possibility of production improvements fromexploration and extraction are useful but limited
Increase in supply will only postpone, but notalleviate the problem.
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
19/45
19
ReducingOur Requirements
Curbing demand and wanton use of energy
resources is a much more effective and practical
strategy
Energy conservation effortsmust be taken up byGovernment bodies and private agencies - on a
large scale. Very large savings are possible.
Energy pricesshould be graded to punish wasteful
behavior and reward efficiency
The three major areas to attack are
Energy reduction in industry
in Transport -- by the Pop ulation
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
20/45
20
The Population Predicament 1
India has a comparatively low per
capita energy consumption of 1.5
barrels/capita-year, but it is increasing(Europe-Japan-US consume 12-25 barrels/capita-year,
McKillop, 2004)
Large population growth will itself
cause an increase in energy
consumption
World population grew 0.33% fasterfrom 1979-1999 than did world energy
production
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
21/45
21
The Population Predicament 2
Policies to reduce population could be oriented
towards high energy consumption groups
Indian society is based on large families with many
children. Thismakes effectively implementing abirth control policy much harder.
A one child policy must considersociological and
cultural issues.
b u t
Efforts to reduce population will go a long way
towards reducing demand for energy
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
22/45
22
Tackle the Transport Industry
90% of the transport industry is fueled by oil Improve public transportation quality of vehicles
and comfort of journey - use specialised bus-bodies
for different services.
Major obstacle Convenience of private vehicle v/s
that of public transportation
Encourage railway use for long distance goods
transport. Trains running on electricity are more
environment friendly as well asmore energy
efficient, since the frictional force of
steel on steel is the lowest
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
23/45
23
Tackle the Transport Industry Urban 1
Unified ticket/pass valid along all routes could makethe journey more comfortable and viable
Have a shuttle service in residential areas to enablethe commute to busstation
Have different types of bus routesserving differentcustomers
E.g. Point-to-point Express buses for the businesstraveler at peak hours; but also frequent buses with
more stops forshoppers / casual travelers Gradation in quality of buses a/c buses, luxury
buses, regular buses etc, to suit the convenience ofthe passenger
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
24/45

Tackle the Transport Industry Urban 2
Private contractors could operate large bus
stations, with facilities like bookstores, cafs,
restaurantsand parking
Involve employers to encourage use of public
transport (e.g. Bus-passes through employer etc)
Provide late night service and early morning
services
Etcetera
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
25/45

Energy Reduction in Industry
Indian Industrial associations have had energy-
conservation programmes for a long time.
There are many energy-efficiency engineers
Now we need a Crash Programme, with many
more incentives and bonuses for energy reductions in
processes, product design and product user -- and
penalties for failure.
Japan hasshown that it is possible to drastically
improve its GNP:Energy ratio ..
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
26/45
26
GNP reductions afterOil price rises
Although Japan imports virtually all of its oil, rising crude
prices do not hurt asmuch as they have in the past because
Japan's economy has now been made less oil-dependent.
Japan's dependence on oil for its energy needs, which
stood at 77% around the time of the first oil crisis of 1973,
has now dropped below 49%, according to Japan'sAgency forNatural Resources and Energy.
This decline reflects the progress ofefforts in industry
to reduce the amount of oil and energy used. As a direct
result of these efforts ...
For a $10 increase in oil price, according to the IMF (2004),
Japans GNP would lose 0.4%,. By way of contrast,
Chinas GNP would lose 0.8%;
The Philippines GNP would lose 1.6 %
Indias GNP would lose 1.0 %
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
27/45
27
The transition to Alternative
Energy Sources
Demand can only be reduced in limited amounts
To sustain our population, we must make an
effectiveshift toward
salternative
s, and preferablyto renewable sources of energy
Asmooth transition to the new sources of energy
is also crucial and the importance of thismay be
overlooked. We need to start this transitionmechanismsoon, even if the oil peakmay not be
immediate
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
28/45
28
Electricity From Renewable Sources
Maximal generation of electricity from renewablesources, like wind and hydro, on a large scale, is onedirection India could move toward in the post-peak era.
Wind farms are still very underdeveloped in India, theycan be linked to grids based on long distance
transmission of electricity at HV-DC which has verylow losses
Electricity is an environmentally friendly option, as itsuse does not result in any emissions
Electric vehicles could become economical with risingoil prices (Efficiencies of 50% are envisaged assuming renewablesources, battery losses of20%, regenerative braking, etc Rechsteiner,2004)
Hydel Power has been explored in our country; the
potential in Nepal has been explored, but not yet tapped
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
29/45
29
More Renewable Energy
Energy from biomass and household use ofsolarenergy can effectively be implemented at a more locallevel
Biomass today generates about 468 MW (MNES, 2003.)
Biomass potential could be about 19,500 MW ofwhich 16,000 MW could be grid quality power(MNES,2003.)
Solar power for purposes of cooking and drying hasbeen used formany years in our country.
A box solar cooker forsmall families can save 3-4LPG cylinders / year. Larger cookers for 40-50 peoplecan save up to 30 LPG cylinders / year(MNES, 2003.)
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
30/45
30
Hydrogen Not a Feasible Fuel Hydrogen is not a means to generate energy it is an
energy carrier Conversion of energy from one form to another always
involves a loss of energy
The breakdown of water to obtain hydrogen for fuel
cells and convert it to electricity will necessarily resultin a loss of net energy; hydrogen will always be moreexpensive perunit energy than the energy source usedto produce it (Rechsteiner, 2004)
Many friends of hydrogen fuel cells fail to consider allthe processes involved compression, liquefaction,transport, storage, re-expansion etc, while calculatingthe practicality of hydrogen fuel (Rechsteiner, 2004)
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
31/45
31
Watts From the Winds 1 Indias wind power potential has been assessed
to be 45,000 MW but the installed capacityis only 1,700 MW (MNES, 2003)
Even so, India is the fifth largest wind power-producing nation in the world (MNES, 2003)
Locations having annual mean power density of150 MW at 30 meter height can be consideredsuitable for projects(Bakthavatsalam, IREDA, 2000)
Wind energy will prove to be one of the main
sources of renewable energy in the future The ERoEI for wind energy is very high in
the range 80 100 (Wind Power Note, 1997)
Despite high initial energy and monetary investment, the
zero fuel costsmake them economical on a life-cycle basis
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
32/45
32
Watts From the Winds 2 A 1MW wind farm required, in 2000, an investment of
USD 1m
illion & annual
maintenance co
st of USD15,000 with a payback period of 5-6 years and FIRR
(Internal rate of return) of29% (Bakthavatsalam, IREDA, 2000); theeconomics are, in fact, improving every day with largergenerators(currently upto 3 MW perunit!)
Wind farms have short building times of2-20 weeks(Rechsteiner, 2004)
Other advantages include no emissions, no fuel ordisposal costs and low maintenance requirement
Wind energy is one of the largest contenders to buildour energy future we need to realize this and act!
Fluctuation in power output with wind-speed requireseither a largish grid or a mechanism (e.g. pumped
hydro) to store energy
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
33/45
33
SuperSolar Power 1
India has the advantage of being atropical country which receivesmore
than 5,000 trillion kWh solar energy
per year. The main obstacle in utilizing solar power is the
high technology cost involved and low energy
density
Solar energy can be exploited using two methods:
Solar photovoltaic
Solar thermal
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
34/45
34
SuperSolar Power 2
Solar water heaters are
being commercialized
and the pay back period
varies from26 years(MNES, 2003)
Solar Photovoltaic power
projects of an aggregate
of2.5MW have beenestablished in the country(MNES, 2003)
2500 lpd Solar Water Heating System at Teachers'
Training Center at Bellary, Karnataka
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
35/45
35
Renewable Energy Policy Renewable energy currently accounts for3700MW, about
3.5% of total installed capacity from all sources (MNES,2003)
Solar power development has the largest budget of allrenewable energy sources
The budget for wind energy development ismuch smaller incomparison. The potential for large scale power generationfrom wind appears to be much higher than that ofsolar, andis also less capital intensive. Wind energy deserves more
attention. The current policy seems directed towards increasing use of
renewable energy sources for remote and rural areas wheregrid power is not available. In addition to this, we need tofocus now on replacingelectricity from fossil fuels bysolar and wind on a lar erscale
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
36/45
36
Formulating a Strategy 1
We are not sure when oil is going to peak we cannot predict
the oil peak accurately because ofuncertainty of data and
technique -- but it does not matter. We need to start action NOW.
There are three aspects to consider in our energy outlook, and
each must be coordinated with the other two for the effort to be
successful. Isolated implementation will be ineffective. These
aspects are:
Who is involved?
Increase of supply (Scientists / Technicians / Managers)
Reduction of Demand (Economists and Policy Makers)
Alternative energy sources (Scientists andEconomists)
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
37/45
37
Formulating a Strategy 2
We should endeavor to increase supply; but not relyon any significant increase, and plan for the worst
Our growing Population, the Transport sector and
Industry have the most significant impact on our
energy consumption and improvements here will
have far-reaching effects
Tax and Incentive Policy decisions to encourage
conservation and check carelessnessshould beimplemented
Control ofsupply and demand has limited scope;
therefore - implementation of alternative sources
is imperative for our survival
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
38/45
38
Formulating a Strategy 3
Research and Development money may be spent onstudying, researching and evaluating various new
possibilities, such asmethane hydrates and hydrogen
fuel cells, to determine their potential, but
Given that India is a developing country with limitedresources, and many needs for investment, we must be
very conservative when making decisions about large
operationalinvestments in such new technologies
India should channel operational investments towards
more proven, but under-exploited, energy resources
such as wind energy, and proven techniques of
improved oil recovery from existing wells
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
39/45
39
Formulating a Strategy 4
Renewables, Renewables, RENEWABLES!!!They will help us answer all the questions aboutthe future of energy
Localized applications Solar and Biomass
Large scale applications Wind, Hydro, Solar
Policy is currently focused on use of renewableswhere conventional powersupply does not reach,or is impractical. We need to start pushing forrenewables to replace other powersources
Wind Energy is the most promising Non-polluting, great potential, economically feasible
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
40/45
40
Formulating a Strategy 5
Lastly, but not the least, we should also direct
attention to facilitating a smooth transition
between the current energy sources and the next
generation of energyso
urce
s.
Thi
stran
sitionperiod could be as long as20 years.
Effective planning and diligent
application will take us
towards a brighttomorrow

ASmooth Transition? 1
Any transition to alternative energy sources will be a massiveworld wide event comparable to the extinction of dinosaurs,or to the dot-com era. It will involve changes in lifestyle foreveryone
Therefore, India needs a unified energy policy. There is today
a lack of coordination between the variousministries dealingwith Coal and Hydro, Electricity, Petroleum, Non-conventional energy, and Scientific energy research.
Systems (a consultation process? an organization?) must beestablished to coordinate their policies and develop a unified
energy policy for India. Such a policy should take intoaccount petroleum depletion, conservation efforts, and thetransition to renewable sources, as well as other relevantissues, such aspollution-control and global warming(which constrain many options, such asusing more Coal).
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
42/45
42
ASmooth Transition? 2 The transition to the next generation of energy includes
-- Political recognition, at the highest level, of the importance of this transition
Accumulation of (our own) reserves of extractable oil through technologicalinnovation
Time-targeted set up of plants for alternative and renewable energy
Time-targeted and sector-wise reduction in our petroleum consumption and
CO2 generation (which leads to Global Warming) Anticipation of geo-political and economic changes that will occur in the world
as related to energy issues
Identification ofspecific sectors where reforms need to be implemented
Pr udent decision making regarding investment in research and development innewer energy sources (e.g. methane hydrates)
Implementation of effective and transparent politico-economic policies toencourage the setting up and profitable survival -- of renewable power plants,such as wind farms, micro-hydel power plants, solar thermal: covering issuessuch assubsidies v/s buyback v/s tax rebates v/ssimplified licensing, as wellas other incentives, and administrative facilitation.
8/8/2019 The Energy Crisis (2)
43/45
43
ASmooth Transition? 3
The transitional changesmust be gradual and will involve longterm planning and policy, starting from today
India as a developing country may have an advantage overmore developed countries; we have the opportunity to set up

Renewable sources of energy are preferable in many ways tothe use of fossil fuels, we dont need to wait till we run out of
oil to change over Global policy needs to be considered so that we can continue
importing oil till we can sustain ourselves with other energysources thus, collaboration with other nations to introduceglobal rationing is definitely an idea to consider
