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 :

# How

# 1000

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 :
