GHG Protocol GHG Accounting and Quantification TERIs experience

GHG Protocol: GHG Accounting and Quantification TERI’s experience and emerging opportunities Girish Sethi International Workshop of GHG Protocol based Programs, Washington, 22 -23 March 2010

GHG Protocol – TERI/ WRI initiatives WRI – EPA – TERI WRI - TERI Development of country specific GHG inventory tool for cement industry Background paper for Revision of GHG inventory tool for Iron and steel sector Development of country specific GHG inventory tool for power sector Road testing of GHG inventory tool for Aluminum and fertilizer sector 2000 11/21/2020 2005 2006 2007

U. S. EPA-CPCB/ TERI/ WRI Partnership for Cooperation CPCB - Priority setting: sectors for tool development, stakeholder consultation Stakeholders (CMA members) Peer Reviewers WRI TERI Tool development, experience in GHG emissions from Industrial and Power sector, expertise in the field of energy and technology audits 11/21/2020 Road Tester (Gujarat Ambuja) GHG Protocol – technical expertise in developing corporate inventories, assists in managing tool development, coordinate peer review U. S. EPA Support for tool development, technical expertise on GHG inventories, emissions measurement experience from voluntary programs, and expertise in market-based programs

Structure of the customized cement tool u A simple Excel based tool and a guidance document to fill the worksheets u The Excel tool has independent worksheets to calculate emissions from various sources u Worksheets in the tool: n General plant information n Custom emission factor for calcination n Custom emission factor fuel 11/21/2020

Structure of the customized cement tool u Direct emissions from stationary combustion (kiln, precalcinator, DG set etc) u Direct emissions from mobile u Indirect electricity import u Indirect clinker imports u Summary inventory sheet u Provision to upscale to corporate level u Reference sheets (like unit conversion, default emission factors etc) 11/21/2020

GHG Assessment Studies Examples Gas power station, Faridabad GHG inventorization Budge power station Gujarat Ambuja Cement Ltd. Bangalore Hyderabad 11/21/2020

Lessons learnt u Coroporates interested in developing their GHG inventories using internationally accepted tools like GHG Protocol n Highly interested to benchmark their energy and environmental performance against peer companies u Awareness relatively low amongst many Indian corporates u Programs undertaken for cement sector led to greater sensitization of climate change issues at operating staff level 11/21/2020

Lessons learnt…. . u Although users are technically sound, difficult for them to understand concepts such as ‘scope’, ‘control approach’ and ‘organizational approach’ n Hence, need for hand-holding initially u Inadequate data availability for calculating emission from mobile sources and non-CO 2 gases, even for large companies u GHG inventorization at corporate level - need for commitment from the senior-most management (Board) levels. 11/21/2020

Issues u Lack of awareness among Indian stakeholders u No mandatory requirements to report GHG emissions in India u Efforts needed to introduce a voluntary process preceded by a structured awareness generation program at “sectoral/ regional” levels u Lack of knowledge about non-CO 2 GHGs quantification methods (the other major GHGs covered by UNFCCC: , N 2 O, HFCs, CH 4, SF 6, PFCs) u How to get the relatively large SME sector involved ? n More than 20 million enterprises n Many are energy intensive 11/21/2020

Opportunities u Initiating a voluntary initiative involving interested large players n More than 700 designated (large) consumers n n identified by BEE National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency Existing TERI-BCSD institutional set up TERI’s wide network with industry sector (more than 1000 energy audits undertaken) State specific initiatives u Raising interest with large multinational corporates sourcing products from India and neighboring countries (supply chain activity) 11/21/2020

National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency u One of the eight missions under the NAPCC u Energy Conservation Act 2001 provides the legal mandate for this Mission through BEE u Responsible Ministry for this mission – Ministry of Power and BEE u Detailed document of NMEEE already prepared - PAT scheme likely to be central to many efforts u Many other Ministries at the central level and state Governments having plans for enhancing energy efficiency u Expected savings of 10, 000 MW by end of 11 th plan (2012) 11/21/2020

What is the TERI-BCSD India ? A CEO-led coalition of 103 companies with a shared commitment to sustainable development u Since 2000, translating sustainability into a competitive advantage u Partnership with WBCSD, Geneva 11/21/2020
