Cleantech isnt just clean power
1. Cleantech… …is not just clean power Presentation to IIT KGP Seminar, 3 Apr 2011, Chennai NarasimhanSanthanam Director, EAI
2. What is Cleantech? Cleantech = Energy and environment related technologies developed for a more sustainable world. www.eai.in
3. Cleantech is more than clean power While clean power (renewable energy) is an important and the most visible part of cleantech, cleantech is a much wider domain The Cleantech market is almost 8 times as large as renewable energy www.eai.in
8. Cleantech Touches Every Domain… Water Materials Air, Environment Manufacturing Energy Cleantech Enablers Agriculture Transport Waste Lifestyle www.eai.in
9. Cleantech is in Its Early Days An analogy with IT 1st PC appeared in 1975 (Altair) 100,000 computers sold in 1978 290 MILLION sold in 2008 Growth of 3000 times, or 300,000 %, in 30 years Today, computers are everywhere www.eai.in
10. Cleantech is in Its Early Days % share of renewables in power = about 2% (other than large hydro) % share of cleantech in other domains = less than 1% Over the next 10 years, cleantech will grow by over dramatically in terms of market penetration, business, jobs and career In 20 years, cleantech will be everywhere We are in the 1978 of cleantech. www.eai.in
11. Cleantech is about Engineering The last revolution (dotcom) was all about The cleantech revolution is all about Programming Engineering www.eai.in
12. Whatever is your specialization and whichever profession you are in… There is a good chance you could benefit from Cleantech www.eai.in
14. What Should You Know? Key trends in cleantech Key components of cleantech www.eai.in
15. Key Cleantech Trends Cleantech ecosystem approach Energy efficiency the low hanging fruit Distributed energy generation Government and global incentives (CDM) www.eai.in
16. Key Cleantech Components Water Materials Air, Environment Manufacturing Energy Cleantech Enablers Agriculture Transport Waste Lifestyle www.eai.in
17. Air & Environment Emissions management and control Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Toxic pollutant control CO2 to value Fuels Cement Fertilizer Biopolymer?... www.eai.in
18. Water Water conservation Water harvesting for domestic and industries (rainwater harvesting, waterless urinals, low flush t0ilets) Novel engineering methods for water recycling and reuse for industries Water treatment Energy efficiency in water treatment and in water desalination Bioremediation for wastewater treatment Wastewater to value Sewage to electricity Biofuels from wastewater Precious material recovery from wastewater www.eai.in
19. Materials Less toxic… Bioplastics & biopolymers Ecofriendly chemicals / ingredients …and more sustainable Organic food and clothing Sustainable wood (& forestry) www.eai.in
20. Manufacturing Smart production Smart materials Smart processes (proximity to consumption, more efficient intra-company logistics) Smart energy Energy efficient production methods Use of waste energy (Waste heat recovery, CHP…) www.eai.in
21. Enablers Green IT “Intelligent” Monitoring and Control Systems Smart Grid Prediction Systems Green Scitech Biotech Materials Engineering (Nanotech) Basic Sciences www.eai.in
22. Lifestyle Low carbon lifestyle Transportation– bicycles, car pooling, telecommuting Habitat– Passive heating/lighting/cooling, LEED/GRIHA rated green buildings, LEDs, Energy Star ratings Food & drink – organic food, locally grown food Fashion – organic textiles, recycled materials Waste management – minimization, waste to value (compost, recycling and reuse) www.eai.in
23. Waste Management Waste = MSW & other domestic waste, Industrial waste & Agriwaste Waste to… Energy Biogas, Producer gas, Syngas Other hydrocarbon fuels Charcoal Value Valuable materials & recycled products (recovery & reuse) Nutrient recovery Compost/fertilizer Activated carbon www.eai.in
24. Transport Fuels Biofuels Vehicles Hybrid cars and motorbikes The rebirth of the bicycle Concepts Public transportation Fuel efficiency Car pooling www.eai.in
25. Agriculture Pre-cultivation Hybrids Crops that can grow in waste and marginal lands Genetic engineering (OK, this is controversial) Cultivation Organic farming Biofertilizersand biopesticides Water management Post cultivation Coppicing Processing Logistics and transportation Crop waste management www.eai.in
26. Energy Renewable Energy Sources Current Solar – PV and Thermal Wind Biomass – biomass to power, biofuels Hydro – Large and Small Waste to Energy Geothermal Waiting in the wings – Hydrokinetic, Wave and Tidal, other Ocean Energy Energy Efficiency Energy saved = energy generated www.eai.in
