Clean Development Mechanism

The CDM Process

All these mechanisms are market-based ones; the first two areproject based, where as the third one allows the developed countries tosell surplus emission of one country to another developed country.

CDM works between those countries who have agreed emissionsreduction targets, under UNFCCC (Annex-1) and those who have not I.enon-annex countries or

the bulk of developing world.

Out of the 3 Kyoto mechanism, CDM is the only for the developingworld, which encourages cleaner development and bring infusion ofinvestments and technologies; which thus provides them anopportunity to adopt cleaner technologies and be paid for emissionreductions.\

CDM undergoes through a project cycle involving 4 stages such as (1)Project Development (2) Validation and Registration (3) ProjectMonitoring (4) Verification, Certification and Issuance of CERs.

India offers a vast Untapped Market

for Carbon Trading

Leading sectors, having GHG Mitigation potentialinclude energy efficiency (45%), renewable energy (35%), methaneemissions abatement (15%), and improvements in the thermal energygeneration sector (5%).

In India, total C02-e emissions in 1990 were 10,01,352 Gg, which wasapprox. 3% of global emissions. The Power sector was the largestemitter of C02, contributing 55% of national emissions.

India would be requiring an additional 100,000 MW of power by 2012.

Hydro Power Plant

Hydro means "water". So, hydropower is "water power" andhydroelectric power is electricity generated using water power. Potential

energy (or the "stored" energy in a reservoir) becomes kinetic (or

moving energy). This is changed to mechanical energy in a power plant,

which is then turned into electrical energy. Hydroelectric power is a

renewable resource. In an impoundment facility (see below), water isstored behind a dam in a reservoir. In the dam is a water intake. This is a

narrow opening to a tunnel called a penstock. Water pressure (from the

weight of the water and gravity) forces the water through the penstock

and onto the blades of a turbine. A turbine is similar to the blades of a

child's pinwheel. But instead of breath making the pinwheel turn, themoving water pushes the blades and turns the turbine. The turbine

spins because of the force of the water. The turbine is connected to an

electrical generator inside the powerhouse. The generator produces

electricity that travels over long-distance power lines to homes and

businesses. The entire process is called hydroelectricity.

Working


9/12

1. Hydro power involves a clean process of power generation.2. It is a renewable source of energy and contributes to the

upliftment of the rural masses, especially projects located in

remote and inaccessible areas.

3. It is the most cost effective option for power supply because it

does not suffer from the limitation on account of fuel consumption.

4. Most small hydro projects in Uttaranchal are being developed in

remote and backward areas where substantial support for

economic development is actually needed.

5. Small hydro power contributes in solving the low voltageproblem in the remote hilly areas and helping reducing the losses

in transmission and distribution.

6. In certain cases projects are helpful in providing drinking water

and irrigation facilities.

Benefits of Hydro Power


10/12

7. It helps in promoting the local industries in remote areas.

8. The development of small hydro projects requires minimum

rehabilitation and resettlement as well as environmental

problems.

9. Small hydro projects help in generating self employment in

remote areas of the state.

10. Small hydro power projects help in providing stable electricity

supply at remote areas where such facility by other source shall be

much costlier and unreliable.

11. The viability can be improved by incorporating the benefits of

Carbon Trading.

12. A very good example of the SHP utilization is our Badrinath(2x1125 kW) SHP which is catering the power requirement of the

holy Badrinath Temple and its habitation.
