This is the 3 regional capacity study conducted by the IEA GHG following on from assessments of Europe1 and North America2. It should be noted that the study only assessed the 4 main options of geological storage; deep saline aquifers, depleted oil and gas fields, and storage in deep unminable coal fields. In addition, the study has undertaken an assessment of the current large point source emissions from the power sector on the Indian subcontinent and assessed their geographical relationship with possible geological stores. This process is also known as source- store matching, and a good source of CO2 close to suitable geological storage reservoirs can significantly impact on the costs and technical feasibility of a CCS operation. Without nearby sources for injection, the transport element of the CO2 chain becomes more expensive, and thus can result in the classification of a proposal as uneconomical. The choice of the Indian subcontinent for this third study is primarily down to 2 main reasons. Firstly, as an emergent economy, India is considered likely to experience high growth in energy demand due to increasing economic development, and this will naturally include a corresponding increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Much of the increased power demand will come from increased use of fossil fuels and in particular coal. The growth in energy demand is likely to be met by government backed plans to install increased capacity in power plants throughout many regions. History has taught us that when a country undergoes rapid economic growth, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for power and subsequent increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The second driver behind the choice the Indian subcontinent is the current lack of any other definitive study into the capacity for CCS in the area. Scope of Study One of the first tasks completed for the study was the compilation of inventories of CO2 emissions from large point sources (>100,000kt CO2/y) throughout the subcontinent, and these were then entered into the IEA GHG CO2 Emissions Database. This provided a valuable update to the database, further enabling it as an insightful source of information to the IEA GHG team and its member countries. Once this information was compiled and entered onto the database, it was then combined with a GIS system, allowing the point sources to be mapped onto the geographical map of the Indian subcontinent. The locations and extent of the known oil and gas reservoirs, coal beds, and saline aquifer bearing rock formations were overlaid onto the GIS to highlight any areas with close matching of source to sinks. At this point, the areas that were found to have large basalt formations were also identified and plotted, although they were to take no further part in the study. The decision to exclude storage in basalt formations was taken due to the relatively un-developed science of storage in these formations. It was felt that the technologies used in these processes are not sufficiently technologically advanced to be considered as a sound and secure storage reservoir at present. 1 IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme report no. 2005/2 Building the cost curves for CO2 storage, Europe, February 2005 2 ; IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme report no. 2005/3 Building the cost curves for CO2 storage, North America, March 2005 1 However, it should be noted that these basalt formations are relatively extensive in the Indian subcontinent, and pending the development and advancement of technological options, the potential for storage in basalt formations could be of a significantly large scale. There is also a good correlation between the basalt formations and many of the large point sources, which will prove beneficial and cost effective if large scale storage in basalts becomes technically feasible. Comment on the future potential for basalt storage in India has been made in the report. Due to the large spatial area covered by the subcontinent, the decision was made early on to address the countries involved on an individual basis. This removes issues related to national boundaries and political issues from the methodology used to assess storage capacity and matching point sources to storage reservoirs. The study therefore addressed point sources and storage options in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka independently. This overview will summarise the main findings and outcomes of the study in these sections to maintain the symmetry with the main report. Results and Discussion The results obtained from the study are summarised for each individual country on the Indian subcontinent. India 3 Currently, India has annual CO2 emissions of around 1343 Mt and approximately half of this is 4 from large point sources suitable for CO2 capture . The main fuel used for energy generation in India is coal. The Indian government is backing an initiative to developing up to 9 Ultra-Mega Power Projects (UMPP) to meet increased energy demand. This development will add approximately 36,000MW of installed capacity, with a corresponding increase in CO2 emissions of approximately 275Mt a year. This first phase of 9 UMPP’s is planned to be operational within 7 – 8 years. The recoverable coal reserves in India are the fourth largest in the world, and it is expected that both open cast and underground mining will occur in all coal fields to a depth of 600m regardless of the quality of the coal reserves. It is also expected that where the reserves are of a superior quality, the reserves are likely to be mined to a depth of around 1200m. By its nature, mining of this magnitude results in fissures and fractures opening in the overburden above the mined seams, and the structural impact of this means that any storage in coal seams would take place at locations that have either not been subjected to selective underground mining, or at depths of 100m below the deepest selective underground mining operations. This is better viewed in a table, see Table 1 overleaf to demonstrate the reserves estimated to be available to CCS in India.

  • Prediction and Inference in the Hubbert-Deffeyes Peak Oil Model ∗
    Prediction and Inference in the Hubbert-Deffeyes Peak Oil Model ∗ John R. Boycey Department of Economics University of Calgary July 2012 Abstract World oil production has grown at an annual rate of 4.86% since 1900. Yet, the Hubbert-Deffeyes `peak oil' (HDPO) model predicts that world oil production is about to enter a sustained period of decline. This paper investigates the empirical robustness of these claims. I document that the data for the HDPO model shows that the ratio of production-to-cumulative-production is decreasing in cumulative production, and that the rate of decrease is itself decreasing. The HDPO model attempts to fit a linear curve through this data. To do so, Hubbert and Deffeyes are forced to either exclude early data or to discount the validity of discoveries and reserves data. I show that an HDPO model which includes early data systematically under-predicts actual cumulative production and that the data also rejects the hypothesis that the fit is linear. These findings undermine claims that the HDPO model is capable of yielding meaningful measures of ultimately recoverable reserves.

Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

  • Smart Border Management: Indian Coastal and Maritime Security
    Contents Foreword p2/ Preface p3/ Overview p4/ Current initiatives p12/ Challenges and way forward p25/ International examples p28/Sources p32/ Glossary p36/ FICCI Security Department p38 Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security September 2017 www.pwc.in Dr Sanjaya Baru Secretary General Foreword 1 FICCI India’s long coastline presents a variety of security challenges including illegal landing of arms and explosives at isolated spots on the coast, infiltration/ex-filtration of anti-national elements, use of the sea and off shore islands for criminal activities, and smuggling of consumer and intermediate goods through sea routes. Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country.

Over 50% of the world oil production came from giants by 2005 and more than haft of the worlds ultimate reserves are found in giants. Based on this it is reasonable to assume that the future development of the giant oil fields will have a significant impact on the world oil supply. In order to better understand the giant fields and their future behaviour one must first understand their history. This study has used a comprehensive database on giant oil fields in order to determine their typical parameters, such as the average decline rate and life-times of giants.

  • Polavaram: a Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin
    Polavaram: A Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin By Gautam Pingle - HYDERABAD Published: 10th February 2014 09:36 AM http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/Polavaram-A-Disaster- in-the-Making--a-Coastal-Andhra- Sin/2014/02/10/article2048570.ece#.UvhTJfuHPgE THE AP State Reorganisation Bill2013, as approved by the Union cabinet on February 7, has given the Polavaram irrigation project an orange (not green) light. It gives 397 inundation villages in Bhadrachalam and Palvancha divisions in Khammam district to Seemandhra. It also says the future Telangana government is “deemed to consent” to Polavaram _ a measure the Supreme Court will strike down. Polavaram is supposed to irrigate huge acreage, stabilise the Godavari Delta for the second and third crops and divert Godavari water to further stabilise the Krishna Delta for three crops. It also hopes to provide drinking and irrigation water to north coastal Andhra. The reservoir will inundate 397 tribal villages and flood thousands of acres of valuable forest land. Nearly 2.5 lakh tribal people will be displaced from their homes in Bhadrachalam alone. It will create a problem five times bigger than the Narmada Sagar dam where only 60,000 tribal people were displaced. Chhattisgarh and Odisha have moved the Supreme Court against the project and tribal displacement. The Union ministry of environment and forests, on February 8, 2011, directed the state not to start construction and to reduce the dam’s height to minimise inundation. But the Seemandhra’s contention is that reducing the height of the dam will prevent diversion of Godavari water to the Krishna Delta.
