Power
Generation
- Conventional
Power Projects
- Replacement of
coal or oil fired power generation by a combined
cycle gas based power plant
- Conversion from
open cycle to combined cycle power plant
- Renewable Power
Projects
- Biomass based
(agriculture residue such as rice husk) power
generation, and replacement of electrical power
being imported from national electricity grid,
and dispatch of surplus power supply to the
grid.
- Increasing
efficiency in the bagasse (a renewable fuel
source, residue from sugarcane processing)
cogeneration facility avoiding that
fossil-fuelled thermal plants dispatch the same
amount of energy to that grid.
- Generation of
Wind Power
- Generation of
renewable electricity using Hydroelectric
Resources
- Grid-connected
electricity generation from renewable sources
Energy
Efficiency
Improvements in
efficiency, modernisation, new capital investments
on the generation side (power, heat, etc), altering
the power station infrastructure to reduce
distribution losses, modifying processes on the
demand side to reduce the amount of electricity
required in industry, and changes in production
processes in industry qualify as energy efficiency
initiates.
While Capacity Utilisation & Fine Tuning of existing
resources can result in energy savings of up to 15%,
Technology upgrades to a facility can result in
Energy savings up to 30-40%.
Potential sectors where industries can avail CDM
benefits are:
- Textile
- Fertilizers
- Cement
- Pulp & Paper
- Sugar
- Chemicals
- Railways
- Iron & Steel
- Transport Sector
Methane
Recovery
In landfills, Methane
(CH4) is generated by the anaerobic decomposition of
waste in land mines. In coal mines, it is generated
as a by-
product of the coal mining process. If
untreated, the emitted methane contributes severely
to global climate change. Since methane is a
powerful greenhouse gas, its collection and
combustion can lead to the creation of 'carbon
credits'.
Owners or operators of sites that produce methane
(landfills, sewer gas, coal mines, and associated
gases from petroleum and natural gas production)
have the potential liability to treat this gas
emission. We ensure that this
environmental responsibility is taken care, and
turns it into a profitable financial project. We can
help design and implement efficient methane
extraction systems, emission control devices,
thermal destruction systems, and energy recovery
technologies for our clients, that lead to CDM
emission credits.
Some of the various options, other than gas flaring,
available for making productive use of methane gas
include electricity generation, which can be fed to
the national grid or to private customers. Methane
can also be used for in vehicles after scrubbing,
purification, and compression. Alternative use of
the gas can be explored including in boilers or as a
replacement for fuels used in certain industries.
Cogeneration
By increasing the
overall efficiency of fuel conversion to electricity
and heat used by process industries, cogeneration
plants lead to a reduction in the primary energy
consumption of a plant, lower emissions to the
atmosphere, and reduce the production costs of the
plant.
Cogeneration systems based on biomass (rice-husk or
other agricultural residue) that replace oil fired
boilers for process steam and internal power
generation, or partial feeding to the national grid,
qualify as CDM projects. Industrial fuel switching,
i.e. substitution of carbon-rich fuels by
lower-carbon energy sources: coal by oil, oil by
gas, and gas by biomass, are good examples of
cogeneration projects.
We provide industries such as paper,
sugar, chemical processing industries, metallurgy
and oil refining with cogeneration CDM project
development services. We evaluate the minimum energy
requirements of a facility, identify potential cost
and savings that can result from additional
technology and machinery, and conduct the financial
and technical feasibility of the project to derive
the benefits from lower energy costs, as well as the
CDM revenue stream.
Nitrous
Oxide Abatement
Nitrous Oxide is a
byproduct from the production of nitric acid, which
has a global warming potential of 310, compared with
1 for carbon dioxide. CDM Enviros and its
international partners are developing nitrous oxide
reduction projects, utilizing cutting edge catalyst
technology, which converts nitrous oxide into its
constituents (nitrogen and oxygen). The Fertilizer
industry classifies as an ideal Nitrous Oxide CDM
Project.
Carbon
Sequestration
Activities in this
sector can provide a relatively cost-effective way
of combating climate change, either by increasing
removals by sinks of greenhouse gases from the
atmosphere (e.g. by planting trees or managing
forests), or by reducing emissions (e.g. by curbing
deforestation).
Forestry
and Land Use Change
The development of
policy on SINKS cover emissions and removals of
greenhouse gases resulting from land use, land-use
change and forestry. We participate in
projects that increasing removal of GHG from the
atmosphere, by planting trees or managing forests,
or by reducing emissions , i.e. by curbing
deforestation.
Waste
to Energy
Municipal Solid
Wastes (MSW) are currently dumped in the open, in an
unmanaged manner. Projects that utilize this waste
for energy generation, thereby replacing and
reducing the amount of fossil fuels used in thermal power plants, can qualify for CDM
projects.
Special
Gases
We help clients in the avoidance of N2O, PFC, HFC, and SF6,
and the subsequent creation of CDM projects,
monitoring of these projects, and the trading of
CERs resulting from their implementation.
Transport
Projects
Implementation of
cleaner engine technologies, traffic flow controls,
and mass transit substitution for private transport
