Global Energy Consumptions

• Primary energy consumption grew at a rate of 2.9% last
year, (Twice its 10-year average of 1.5% per year).
• Natural gas contributed more than 40% of the increase.
• All fuels grew faster than their 10-year averages, apart
from renewables.
• China, the US and India together accounted for more
than two thirds of the global increase in energy demand,
with US consumption expanding at its fastest rate for 30
years.

period decreased at (-) 0.96%.
• The imports of Natural Gas and Crude Oil increased at CAGR of
9.44% and 5.20% respectively.
• The imports of petroleum products, during the period 2008-09 to
2017-18 increased at CAGR of 6.67%, whereas during the same
reference period the exports registered an increase of 5.55%.
• For electricity, the net imports witnessed significant change in last
two years i.e. 2016-17 and 2017-18. The exports have robust
increase at CAGR of 61.83% during 2008-09 to 2017-18 whereas
the imports registered a decline with CAGR of (-) 0.50%.
Centre for
Usage of Energy
• The maximum energy intensive sector was
industrial sector accounting about 56% of
total energy consumption.
• Per Capita consumption of Energy showed a
CAGR of 2.54% for the period 2011-12 to
2017-18
Centre for
Status of Natural Resources

• Coal 200 Years
• Oil 60 Years
• Forests on the decline

future generations to meet their own

Centre for
Energy
• Per capita energy consumption is the key
indicator of development in any country.
• Efforts have been directed to hike per capita
consumption and, thus, raise standard of living of
the citizens.
• A large population is, yet, to taste fruits of
electricity.
• All policies have to be aligned to the objective of
energy security.
Centre for
Climate Change & Energy Security

• Climate change at a fast pace poses grave risks to the
humanity.
• Major contributor __ current fuel mix for energy
production i.e. Fossil fuel.
• Efforts to replace fossil fuel with renewable energy are
likely to show impact in the future in a sustainable manner.
• Two steps required for a positive result:
– Assessment of commercially available technologies.
– A critical review of policies for commercial implementation of
technologies.
Centre for
Climate Change & Energy Security

• Energy generation accounts for >70% of GHG
emissions.
• Options for energy security:
– high-efficiency transportation,
– Renewable energy
– carbon sequestration
– demand side management
Remember: Development, energy security and climate
change are interlinked and aim at “Poverty eradication”.
Centre for
Environmental Issues
• Today’s environment is highly polluted &
degraded resulting in lower quality of life
evident from:
– deforestation,
– desertification,
– soil degradation,
– water and air pollution,
– growth of urban slums
– unhygienic living conditions
Centre for
Sustainability: PROBLEMS
Depletion of finite resources
– fuels, soil, minerals, species
Over-use of renewable resources
– forests, fish & wildlife, fertility, public funds
Pollution
– air, water, soil
Inequity
– economic, political, social, gender
Species loss
– endangered species and spaces
Centre for
- WCED, 1987
Sustainability: SOLUTIONS
 Cyclical material use
– emulate natural cycles; 3 R’s
 Safe reliable energy
– conservation, renewable energy,
substitution, interim measures
 Life-based interests
– health, creativity, communication,
coordination, appreciation, learning,
intellectual and spiritual development

Two key sustainable development concepts:
EQUITY
LIMITS TO GROWTH

 the concept of needs, particularly the essential needs

of the world’s poor
EQUITY

EQUITY
• the quality of being fair or impartial;

fairness; impartiality
• something that is fair and just.

Contrast with:
EQUALITY

social) which affect the environment’s

LIMITS TO GROWTH

LIMITS TO GROWTH
-quantitative and qualitative limits
- living within the regenerative and
assimilative capacities of the planet

Sustainable development...
• implies limits
 Not predefined absolute limits, but
limitations imposed by:
– the ability of the biosphere to absorb the
effects of human activities
– adaptability of human social and political
organization
– technology
Centre for
Sustainable development and economic growth
Economic growth must be made:

– less material intensive (‘dematerialization of the
economy’)
– less energy intensive
– more equitable in its impacts
• Economic growth may be reduced or curtailed to

meet limitations imposed by environment,
technology, or society
Centre for
Institutional gaps impeding sustainable development
2 major gaps:
• fragmented decision making
– narrow mandates, jurisdictional rigidity, lack of
communication and coordination
• lack of accountabiity
– failure to make the bodies whose policy actions
degrade the environment responsible for their
actions
