5 G will enable earning Carbon Credits

Context :

5G and the future of sustainable technology / Eco Times / 29 July 2022

Extract :

5G enables a network that is created to connect everyone and everything virtually together including machines, objects and devices

5G can assist several industries to become smarter and more effective by providing the connectivity that technologies like Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence need to run optimally and at scale

The Internet of Things particularly help analyse, monitor and decrease the consumption of power and resources by creating systems smarter

It also allows businesses to design GRANULAR OPTIMIZATIONS with the highest impact

For example, participants in the 5G ecosystem can help reduce power consumption through various software and hardware adjustments

MY TAKE :

Ø Carbon Finance through Carbon Credits …………………………..[ 12 Mar 2021 ]

Extract :

Here is a partial list of domestic appliances which consume electricity ( apart from LED bulbs ) :

TV sets – Refrigerators – Air Conditioners – Fans – Deep Freezers – Ovens – Electric Stoves – Mixers – Computers – Cloths Washing Machines – Dish Washers – Radios – Tablets – Robotic Floor Sweepers – Massagers – etc

Ø By 2030, all of these must be made “ Energy Efficient Appliances “ , certified by Bureau of Energy Efficiency [ BEE ]

Ø Just as was done in respect of ICE vehicles ( BS IV > BS VI compliance ), all electric Appliance Manufacturers must be mandated to switch over to manufacture of only BEE certified appliances in 4 phases ( April 2022 – 24 – 26- 28 )

Ø Each such appliance MUST be pre-installed / integrated with SENSORS which will continuously monitor its,

# State of Usage ( ON or OFF )

# Rate of Consumption of electricity ( Units )

These INTERNET-CONNECTED appliances will continuously relay / transmit these data to the SMART ELECTRIC METER installed in each home

In turn, each SMART METER will relay / transmit to concerned DISCOM ( and to any other specified govt agency servers ), such usage / consumption data, through Internet ( IoT / Internet of Everything ).

These data-transfer will be separate for EACH INDIVIDUAL APPLIANCE

This will enable DISCOM / concerned Agencies, to know / monitor, IN-EFFICIENT appliances, operating above the CERTIFIED THRESHOLD for each type of appliance

Appliances operating “ above “ the threshold, will be assigned / allotted “ CARBON DEBITS “ , whereas those operating “ below “ the threshold, will be assigned “ CARBON CREDITS “

If the NET of these two is POSITIVE ( + ), that home will be incentivized by a lower tariff – and vice-versa

This model ( of INCENTIVIZATION ) must be further strengthened by measuring the amount of ROOF TOP Solar Power , flowing into the SMART METER , with appropriate linkages to CARBON CREDIT

This linkage will motivate a large number of households to install ROOF TOP solar panels

This scheme will enable us to take the CARBON MARKET / CARBON CREDIT / CARBON FINANCE concept, right inside our 290 MILLION households !

All manufacturers of House-hold Electric Meters must be told to manufacture only SMART ELECTRIC METERS , starting April 2022

All DISCOMS to replace existing meters in each and every home, with a SMART METER, by April 2024

This is only a CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK whose details are not difficult to work out

Dear Shri R K Singhji

During past 3 years, you have initiated many reforms to replace FOSSIL-FUEL power with RENEWABLE power

If implemented, my above-mentioned suggestion will ensure that we exceed our commitment given in Paris Agreement
