Needed : Country-wide Climate Action Plan
Context :
Power usage leads to 71 % of greenhouse gas emissions in city / HT / 27 Aug 2021
Extract :
Ø The majority contribution of the energy sector is not surprising, given the high domestic demand for power, along with the fact that 95% of all electricity consumed in Mumbai is entirely coal-based
Ø A staggering 71% of the city’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be attributed to the energy sector, according to a recent analysis by the World Resources Institute (WRI) India
Ø The majority contribution of the energy sector is not surprising, given the high domestic demand for power, along with the fact that 95% of all electricity consumed in Mumbai is entirely coal-based. Of the emissions within this 71% bracket, residential electricity usage makes up 55%, while 45% comes from commercial and institutional sources, and 4% from industries.
My Take :
Ø Simple Solution
# Stop using electricity generated through Fossil-fuel. Only use Solar Power
Ø Enable each and every building ( not only in Mumbai but all over India ), to install PV Solar Panels on its terrace – to produce ALL the electricity that all the tenants of the building needs
Questions :
Ø Most buildings have 500-600 sq ft terraces – enough for current technology PV Solar Panels, to produce only 5 Kwp of solar power, whereas all the tenants’ combined need could be 100 Kwp. Hence your suggestion does not appear feasible
Ø Is there any alternative ?
On the Horizon :
Ø New Solar Panels capable of generating 1,000 times more power than the currently available PV panels
Ø Iron-Air Storage Batteries that can store such Solar Power for 100 hours and at one-tenth the cost of Lithium-ion batteries
What is holding back deployment of these New Technologies ?
Ø I suppose wheels of Bureaucracy move slowly. But I am an optimist and believe that the Policy Makers / Decision Makers, will find time to read and act upon my following e-mails :
# Mumbai Climate Action Plan ( MCAP )………………………………[ 05 Sept 2021 ]
# If you don’t obsolete yourself… ………………………………………..[ 24 Aug 2021 ]
# How to reduce Carbon Emission to Net Zero ?............... [ 25 July 2021 ]
# 1000 TIMES MORE POWERFUL SOLAR PV PANELS……………..[ 08 Sept 2021 ]
Any suggestion for reducing Air Pollution caused by Vehicular Emission ?
Ø Yes. I get a feeling that, Shri Nitin Gakariji got to read my following e-mail and will implement it someday soon :
# Never Give-up Nitin Gadkariji,………………………. [ 13 Aug 2021 ]
# Thank You, Nitinbhai Gadkariji, …………………….[ 11 Aug 2021 ]
