Environment and Sustainability

With the widening demand supply gap and increasing energy costs, energy conservation and efficiency have assumed enormous importance. The studies reveal that energy savings potential in India can be as high as 15 GW. The growing concerns around the GHG emissions and the perilous climate change have made sustainable growth the focal point of the development pursuits of an economy. With the expansion of the global carbon markets, there is a spurt of the economic opportunities for developing countries like India. The country has been quite active and innovative in identifying new methods of emissions reduction across industries. India stands at a vantage point with a relatively easy recourse to a clean and green economy through the vast potential of renewable energy resources. The renewable market in India is set to increase at a faster pace, mainly on account of ambitious government targets and plans, like the target of 20 GW of solar power by 2020 and about 26 GW of wind power by 2022.

Wind Sector: Wind Energy is the fastest growing renewable energy sector in India, which is, the world’s 5th largest wind power nation. In India, Wind accounts for over 70% of the total installed renewable generation capacity. Going forward,Government of India is planning to infuse around Rs.600 billion under 11th five year plan in this industry to boost the growth of this sector. Our database includes:

  • 7000+ wind power plant profiles
  • Information on 3000+ wind energy companies
  • 3000+ News shaping the industry

Solar Sector: Solar energy is still in nascent stage in India with solar power contributing less than 0.01% of the total renewable power generation. But going forward, the sector is expected to grow rapidly after the announcement of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in January, 2010, which targets 22,000 MW of grid connected as well as off-grid solar power generation by 2022. Our coverage of database includes:

  • Information of both PV and thermal/ csp technology is available
  • 450+ solar power plant profiles
  • Information on 700+ solar energy companies
  • 3000+ News shaping the industry

Bio Power Sector: In India, about 32% of the total primary energy use in India is derived from biomass and more than 70% of the country’s population depends upon it for its energy needs. Biomass/cogeneration power holds 11% share in total renewable power generation in India. Our coverage of database includes:

  • Technologies covered- bagasse, non-bagasse, waste to energy
  • 600+ bio power plant profiles
  • Information on 500+ bio energy companies
  • 900+ news shaping the industry

Small Hydro Power (SHP) Sector: Small hydropower is one of the least expensive and most attractive forms of renewable energy which lies largely untapped. The estimated potential of SHP in India is of about 15,000 MW of which less than 20% has been exploited so far. The total installed capacity of small hydro power projects (upto 25 MW) as on 31.01.2011 is 2953 MW from 801 projects and 271 projects with aggregate capacity of 914 MW are under construction. Our coverage of SHP database includes:
