The current situation: Disparity in energy access
• In 2000 India had the highest percentage (35%) of the World‘s total population without electricity access.
• At present 71% of India‘s rural population lives in rural areas:
95000 villages still unelectrified • As a result, 90 % of households in rural areas (58% of the total
population) use biomass as primary energy source (Reference: Malhotra P., Bhandari P., Khanna R., Upriti R., Rural energy data sources and
estimations in India )
(Reference :Ailawadi V., Bhattarcharyya S., Access to energy services by the poor in India: Current situation and need for alternative strategies

The associated problems: Rural energy poverty and rural development
• With the increasing population growth in rural areas there is an increasing demand for energy access in rural areas for provision of basic needs – Household consumption (cooking, heating,
lighting) – Food production and water supply – Production activities for small industries – Health care and education
•(Reference: Rehfuess E., Fuel for Life: Household energy and Health WHO press 2006)
• Intricate link between household energy (85% of total rural energy consumption) and development

Energy and development
• Energy consumption does not guarantee development
• Development: Access to fuel/power Ability to Buy Ability to Use Make benefit from energy use
![Page 26: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Re-evaluating the link between energy and development
The access to improved level of energy services amongst different sectors, regions and segments of the population is critical for meeting basic human needs : •to bring people out of poverty, •decrease climate impact vulnerability •improve standards of living
![Page 27: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Our vision
– To overcome the supply and affordability constraint to allow the transition from traditional to modern energy services
– Transition from rudimentary technology to more appropriate technology that is more
• Efficient • adaptable • Has increased application through improved management

Sector related challenges Household: Lighting
•Lighting:
“In India 2.5 million people (350,000 of them children) suffer severe burns each year from house fires, due to overturned kerosene lamps” (Reference: Light up the world www.lutw.org)
•The current situation: 60% of the total kerosene consumption for rural lighting (use of kerosene lamp)
•Appropriate solution: www.lutw.org •LUTW 1Watt LED lamp system
![Page 29: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sector related challenges Household: Cooking
•“Indoor Air pollution from the combustion of biomass kills an estimated 400,000 to 500,000 children below the age of 14 every year in India” •Women spend 2-7 hours a day collecting fuel wood, which could be spent instead on childcare, education, socializing and income generation.
(Smith, K.R., et al., National Burden of Disease in India from Indoor Air Pollution Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 97, No. 24. (Nov. 21, 2000), pp. 13286-13293)
•The current situation: Popular use of biomass such as animal dung and wood.
•Appropriate solution: : Fuel efficient and smoke extraction stoves- more info at WORKSHOP

Sector related challenges Agriculture & small scale industries Current situation Low energy efficiency and poor energy access for these sectors coupled with increasing fuel prices might impede growth and effective delivery of services.
Agricultural sector : •Consumes 30% of the total electricity •Contributes only 8% of the revenues generated
•High subsidies and free power in some states Small scale industries sector:
•40% of industrial production, 35% of total exports •Employ 17 million people in 3 million small scale industries in the organized sector
Appropriate solution: More resource efficient technologies

NEED FOR A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE
– Critical need to improve energy service options through increase efficiency and distribution across sectors and regions in order to
• Reduce poverty • Reduce hunger • Improve education • Improve gender equality • Improve health
– Why? Because the poor are often most vulnerable to climate change
• For example: in Orissa, climate change is already happening • For them it is a matter of life and death

• Energy and emissions data • Energy consumption and development:
– Re-examining the relation – Energy, environment and poverty
• Economics of supplying clean energy • Suggested policy map
![Page 35: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Kaya Equation for Emissions: The equation that matters
• Emissions = Population x (GDP/person) x (Energy/unit of GDP) x (emissions/unit of energy) • Hence, emissions depend on:
– Population – GDP – Energy Intensity – Emissions Intensity
![Page 36: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The possibilities
• We cannot to expect to reduce – Population – GDP/person
• We need to work on reducing: – Energy Intensity – Emissions Intensity

Outline
• Energy and emissions data • Energy consumption and development:
– Re-examining the relation – Energy, environment and poverty
• Economics of supplying clean energy • Suggested policy map

Facing the reality
• Any constraint will hamper the much required and long overdue economic development. • Emission constraints not viable till a certain threshold of economic development not
reached • In case of immediate carbon restraint, developed countries should pay for emissions since
1960? 1980? 1896? (first explanation of Greenhouse Effect by Arrhenius)?

Silver Bullets: One enough or a handful needed?
• Possible Silver bullets to promote RE – Carbon taxes
• Reference value: $100/tC: Makes wind, solar thermal and nuclear financially viable
• Translates to an increase of $0.25/gallon of gasoline or $0.07/litre of fuel
• Introduced by many European countries • Perfect implementation of Polluter Pays Principle • The ultimate T-word!
![Page 48: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Silver Bullets
• The Inverted Telescope: Increasing costs of marginal electricity to discourage frivolous use of energy. – Provide cheap energy to individuals trying to get on the first rung of
development – Make using plasma TVs and big ACs expensive
• Possible implementation problems, but fewer than others
![Page 49: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Keep the bullets coming
• Government incentives to adopt renewable technologies – Funded by CDM CER sales – Aggressive CDM strategies needed
• Technology transfer to enable new efficient technology adoption today, not tomorrow
![Page 50: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Policy Goal
• Reliable and abundant energy to enable rapid development for the deprived classes
• Access to energy to allow vast majority of population a chance to get on the ladder of growth
![Page 51: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Policy Goals: Sustainable Energy Future
• Equity: access an adequate and reliable supply of energy to reduce poverty and hunger, while improving education, gender equality and health conditions.
• Efficiency: The contextually efficient utilization of energy resources • Liberty: Freedom from human suffering caused by lack of access to
energy • Security: Ability to plan for a future instead of fighting for day-to-day
survival
Framework: Policy Paradox and Political Reason, Deborah Stone

Energy and development
• Energy consumption does not guarantee development
• Development: Access to fuel/power Ability to Buy Ability to Use Make benefit from energy use
![Page 53: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Suggested policy measures and steps
• Proper technology, appropriate for the context • Design of proper market mechanism with regulatory oversight, free of
distortions – Subsidies highly undesirable, distort market, pre-empt innovation
![Page 54: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Contextually appropriate technologies
• Technologies are designed for particular situations • Appropriate technology may differ for each region and context • Misplaced technologies just as likely to fail as misguided policies • Social factors, economic development and geography of the area should be
taken into account – Clinical Diagnosis (Jeffrey Sachs, The End of Poverty)
![Page 55: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Your earth or mine?
• Equal access to global environmental resources the basis of human equity – India and China can not be expected to bear a C-tax this early in their
development levels – Cheap energy and high emissions due to extravagant lifestyles in the West for a
long time – Inter-generational responsibility includes from the past
![Page 56: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Love or peace?
• Denial of access to development may be reason for conflict • Cooperation and Polluter Pays Principle need to go hand in hand to divide up
global resources • Principle of “Distinguished but Common Responsibility (Kyoto Protocol 1997)” • Conflict not palatable
– Nuclear powers – Two largest armies (1.7 and 1.2 million standing armies, respectively)
• Polluter pays: Who pays for the build-up
![Page 57: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Ultimate Test
• Progress not to be measured in MW of power produced or power plants installed or emissions reduced
• Final test: Number of people brought out of poverty, lives improved, value generated in a climate and environmentally friendly way
![Page 58: Regional Energy Outlook ASIA: India · Shukla P R. 1996. “The Modelling of Policy Options for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India”, AMBIO, XXV (4), 240-248, 2001: (The projections](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051906/5ff8911dda71cf381e2071bd/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Sustainable energy perspective
• Solutions in Energy that incorporate innovation, affordability, cultural acceptability for : – Household use – Commercial (health, education) – Food security (agriculture) – Small scale industries and sub sectors

India and China
• The peoples whose time has come.
