Recycle your Tetra Paks into garden benches

The residents of Artek Apartments in Bandra are the proud owners of a unique garden bench that's made from recycled Tetra Pak cartons. It's what they got after recycling more than 2,000 cartons in nine months. Over the past few months other housing societies too have taken up the responsibility to segregate cartons for recycling, with the assistance of a convenient collection chain set up through the combined efforts of RUR (R U Reducing , reusing, recycling), a non-government organisation, 

Tetra Pak and Sahakari Bhandar retail chain. "We first put a recycling bin in the society to try this out. Most of the children had the recycling programme going on at school, so they were excited to do it at home and encouraged their parents. Now we've got a recycled bench for our garden," said Vinay Adhye, business head, Sahakari Bhandar.

AP to sign PPAs with solar power developers soon

Andhra Pradesh will soon sign power purchase agreements with solar photovoltaic project developers under the State’s solar power policy a top Government official said.

“The letters of intent have been issued to the developers and PPAs will be shortly signed. We expect at least 500 MW capacity to come up by early next year under the State solar policy,” said M Sahoo, Special Chief Secretary, Department of Energy.

“We are trying to sort out the evacuation issue which will enable solar power plants to function normally even in areas where there is no power supply,” he added.

Referring to the demand-supply mismatch, he said the Government plans to generate an additional 200 MW using naphtha and 500 MW using LNG. Some of the concerns expressed by them (developers) in terms of evacuation of power in rural areas are being addressed, and we expect to resolve them through a representation to the AP Electricity Regulatory Commission,” Sahoo pointed out.

Karnataka tops in harnessing power from small hydro projects

Karnataka today tops in harnessing power from small hydro projects and co-generation plants from sugar factories in the country.

The state produces 4,332 Mw from renewable sources with wind energy contributing the highest proportion of 53 per cent while sugar factories contribute 17 per cent.

The all India figure stands at 25,845 Mw including that of Karnataka, said Karnataka Renewabale Energy Development Ltd (KREDL) Project Engineer D K Dinesh Kumar today.

Addressing an interactive session on energy conservation, renewable energy and domestic gas organised by the Mysore Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI), in association with the KREDL here, he said the Karnataka Electricty Regulatory Commission had recommended Rs 7.20 per unit to those who give back solar energy to the grid.

Individuals and private parties can set up solar plants up to 5 Kw and wheel back excess solar power to the grid after meeting their own requirements.

After the state cabinet's approval, it would be effected by the Chamundeswari Electricity Supply Company (CESC) and other service providers.

The peak hour load between 7 am and 8 am in the mornings and in the evenings when power consumption was the highest was imposing a heavy pressure on the electricity supply companies, resulting in power cuts.

Every year, consumption was rising during these peak hours, and last year the increase was 1,200 Mw, he said, urging for the need to switch over to solar power by consumers as solar power can be used for varied purposes including cooking.

Hence, installation of solar power units had been made mandatory for all constructions on plots that are 30'x40' or bigger across the state.

About 1,800 Mw power can be saved in Karnataka through renewable energy sources.

The latest technologies, he said, would help increase generation of more wind powder and it cost Rs 10-12 crore per machine.

Meanwhile, explaining the various renewable energy opportunities, he said subsidy offered by the state and Centre ranged between 30 per cent and 75 per cent, depending upon the projects being taken up.

All the 601 'Nemmadi Kendras' (public service centres) were connected with solar power and 166 of them were in Mysore region alone.

A number of institutions in the state had taken to solar power generation for their own use like mass cooking, he said calling on power consumers to take advantage of the schemes promoted by the KREDL and help the state mitigate the power shortage.

China to enter India's solar-powered vehicle market

A China-based solar- and car maker is eyeing the Indian market by showcasing its products at an auto exhibition here this week, a company official said Tuesday.

"We are going to participate in the India-auto fair for the first time," Guangzhou Jcar Industrial Company Ltd's marketing head Monica Leung told IANS.

She said the solar powered vehicles like scooters, three-wheelers and cars would be exhibited.

The four-day Auto Expo-2014 will begin Feb 6 at the Pragati Maidan here and in Greater Noida.

The company has a wide network of distributors in China.

"Of course, India has a big potential for solar vehicles as most parts of India like China receives more than 300 days of sunlight. The market of solar vehicles is yet to be tapped in India," Leung said.

She said a three-wheeler that can be used both for carrying goods and passengers. It could carry loads of up to 400 kg.

A battery charge of five to 12 hours gives it a range up to 70 km and its maximum speed is 35 km per hour.

The three-wheeler has four models and their motor power ranges from 500 W to 1,200 W and the life of the solar panel is 25 years.

They can be even used in farms to carry produce and implements, Leung added.

The 150 kg three-wheeler costs $1,323 (Rs.83,000).

The solar powered four-seater car, with motor power of 1,200 W, can travel up to 70 km and its maximum speed is 30 km per hour.

In the two-wheeler segment, the company has scooters that can carry loads of up to 150 kg with a speed between 40 and 60 km per hour. The motor power ranges from 500 W to 800 W.

Hydro power can help north-east generate Rs 679 crore annually

The commissioning of state-run NTPC's first hydro power project in Himachal Pradesh may be further delayed due to faulty construction work at the site. The company, which started the process of filling up of the reservoir of the 800-MW Koldam project, could not complete the exercise as the reservoir was unable to hold the water for the project.
