Increasing use of solar energy to protect environment and address the
growing need for power across the country was stressed at a green summit
here Thursday.
"It is time to use renewable energy like solar
and wind for generating more power than depending on thermal and hydel
energy, which impact the ecology and affect the people due to pollution
and submergence of fertile lands," Rajasthan Governor Margaret Alva said
at the summit here on the occasion of World Environment Day.
Highlighting
the significance of observing the the World Environment Day, Alva, who
hails from Karnataka, advised the state government to attract private
investment in setting up solar and wind plants to combat power shortage.
"We
have seen how hydro-electric plants and an atomic power plant at Kaiga
in Uttara Kannada district in the state had affected the environment in
the Western Ghats, one of the world's richest bio-diversity," Alva said
at the inaugural session of the three-day Green Summit, organised by the
Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Stressing
on the need to use clean technologies for harnessing solar, wind,
biogas and other renewable energy sources, Alva said the Rajasthan
government was encouraging setting up of solar farms to make optimal use
of sunlight in the desert state.
FKCCI president R. Shivakumar
said as solar energy was is the future source of power, the state
governments should ensure refinancing to attract private investment in
the sunrise sector.
"We are holding the Green Summit as a
platform to explore opportunities and possibilities in renewable energy,
energy efficiency and sustainable technology," he said.
State
Chief Secretary Kaushik Mukherjee said the state government was
encouraging small-scale producers of solar power to install roof-top
solar panels on homes and offices to generate clean energy and sell the
surplus to state-run utilities.
A comprehensive report on
renewable energy, outlining the current status on renewable energy and
its future requirements across the country, was released on the occasion
The
summit will deliberate over the next two days on renewable energy
sources, including solar (photo-voltaic and thermal), wind, biomass and
waste to energy.
About 100 exhibitors are showcasing their product and technologies in the renewable energy sector at the summit venue.

Clean Development Projects/Carbon Credit/ Waste management
Kailash Agrawal, Raipur (C.G.), | Wed Jun 11 07:42:33 2014
Pollution is connected with Fuel Efficiency. Maximum combustion of Fuel means minimum pollution. Flame without Fume. Minimize Heat Loss by Insulation or other process in Industry and Domestic consumption of Fuels. Alternative sources of energy Solar, Wind etc. should be encouraged and promoted at large scale extensively. Coal based and other projects emitting Green House gases should be discouraged. Coal excavation and Petroleum from under the Sea should be reviewed in view of disturbance to Eco-balance and incidents of Kedarnath-Dham in Uttarakhand. Research and Development should be made in view of the above.
Development with Clean concept only, is solicited. Industrial Policy 2009 of Gujrat Government with schemes of Carbon Credits, Clean Development Mechanism Projects and Common Facility Centers for Waste Management etc. and PDS of C.G. are model for other States. Best of all the Policies schemes should be incorporated in National Policies to be adopted by other Departments and States, as they are equally applicable and beneficial for Environment, Mankind, Living & Non-living Beings. Regards.
