5. Biodiesel and Climate Change
1. 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

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)

4. 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

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)

Issues to be Addressed




Research should be undertaken to improve the yields and value
addition through alternative uses such as medicinal ingredients
and biopesticides.
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?
