Renewable energy

In current time today people need to attention on use of non-reusable source of energy and try to user reusable energy sources.

So below give some Advice and some useful information about that topic:

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources, with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass, mainly used for heating  and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewable (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and bio fuels  accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewable in electricity generation is around 19%, with 16% of electricity coming from hydroelectricity and 3% from new renewable.

fore use of that kind of sources we not insincere life time of non realisable source but at just we incrice some kind of source.

and finally if a you of same natural of people can also support and incrice this activity for us.

and as you know one small part of water(drop of water) add more and more it made a river and sea and ....you can done for your country your child

‘Odisha's organic farming can be worth Rs 23,000 cr in 5 years’

Optimistic that promotion of organic farming could lead to wealth accumulation of about Rs 23,000 crore in Odisha, industry body Assocham today said it had the potential to create about 80 lakh jobs in five years.

Promotion of organic farming could generate about 60 lakh jobs in the State apart from creating additional 20 lakh job if on-farm storing, processing, value addition, packaging and marketing facilities were included, National Secretary-General of Assoham, D.S. Rawat told reporters here.

Organic farms provided over 30 per cent more jobs per hectare as against non-organic farms, Rawat said, adding these facts came to light in a study titled ‘Organic Odisha: Inching towards Organic Farming,’ released by Assocham.

“Besides, promotion of organic farming in Odisha can lead to wealth accumulation of about Rs 23,000 crore and generate exports of Rs 600 crore during the next five years,” he said quoting the study.

Adoption of organic farming could increase the net per capita income of a farmer in the State by 250 per cent to over Rs 10,500 in five years from a meagre Rs 3,000 currently, Rawat said.

Stating that it would also arrest migration of people from Odisha for jobs, he said of the total organically certified area of 1.7 lakh hectares across the country, the State had the maximum area of over 26,300 hectare followed by Jammu and Kashmir with 22,316 hectare.

He said Odisha has a huge share in global organic exports from about 0.2 per cent to about 2.5 per cent by 2017.

The State also had the potential of being the country’s export hub for certified organic food to different world markets.

In its study, Assocham suggested that organic agriculture be recognised and integrated in main policies of the Central government such as those on agriculture, food, health and environment

India to reach solar market potential of 12,500MW by 2016-17

With solar PV capacity rising from under 20MW to more than 1,000MW in two years, all eyes are turned towards India. The latest energy report from KPMG, The Rising Sun, predicts that India has a solar market potential of 12,500MW, calculated to be reached by 2016-17.

India currently has a power deficit of 9%, expected to continue its steady increase over the next few years. This has generated net losses of INR88,170 crores this year.

Author of the KMPG report, Arvind Mahajan, insists that, “To realize this, utilities and regulators should create an enabling environment recognizing the specific characteristics of solar power.”

However, The Hindu Business Line cannot envisage an Indian solar future because of the radio silence surrounding Phase II of the National Solar Mission, which was due to be announced this July.

KPMG states that the captive and REC market has the potential of reaching 2,500MW by 2016-17. Despite this, The Hindu Business Line argues that these electricity distribution companies, which are driven by renewable purchase obligations, have become bankrupt entities. The publication contends that there is no “evidence of the various electricity regulatory commissions enforcing the obligation”.

Mahajan puts the onus on the central and state government to provide the necessary support to the solar industry over the next five years, “to realize the immense potential solar power offers for an energy starved country like India”.

The Hindu Business Line suggests raiding the coffers of the National Clean Energy Fund in order to be able to offer FiTs on the same scale as those available in Japan. KPMG is in agreement: “This financial assistance can help states support solar power and mitigate payment security concerns.”

Additionally, KMPG recommends the Indian government should provide “infrastructural support, appropriate regulations such as “banking facility” or “net-metering” to allow access to rooftop and small-scale solar power projects which is expected to reach parity before grid-level consumers.”

Furthermore, KPMG’s report helps to instil a little faith in the Indian government because it has proposed the creation of a number of National Manufacturing & Investment Zones (NMIZ) to boost growth of the manufacturing industry in India. “The concept of NMIZ proposes a framework for more business friendly policy, procedures and approval ecosystem, combined with superior physical infrastructure,” states Mahajan. He believes this could be used as a model for a solar industry focused manufacturing and investment zones to “encourage investments in this clean source of energy”.

All legislative proposals need financial backing to make them concrete, however, The Hindu Business Line writes, “The government does not have money”. Unfortunately, without appropriate remuneration, KPMG’s optimistic predictions for a rising sun in India may not come to fruition.

Shoppers Stop turns to solar power to avoid service tax on electricity

"The company is trying to rework power consumption as mall owners and retailers will have to pay 12.5%service tax on electricity with effect from July this year according to a recent government notification," Govind Shrikhande, managing director at Shoppers Stop, says. "The difference between solar power cost and our power bill will be minimal after the new tax." The country's largest department store chain paid over Rs 70 crore on power bills last year.

While Shoppers Stop plans to use solar power at its four stand-alone stores, many other retailers and mall owners are looking for ways to lower energy usage to limit the impact of the new tax.

Dubai-based Landmark Group's departmental store chain Lifestyle, for example, plans to install energy saving lighting systems in its stores.

"There has been pressure on the profit and overall markets since few years now. Imposing taxes like this puts retailers under pressure at the wrong point of time," Kabir Lumba, managing director at Lifestyle International, says.

Mumbai-based Oberoi Mall is mulling various alternative fuel options. "Even water consumption is taxed. Hence, we started rain-water harvesting which has cut costs significantly," Nirzar Jain, vice-president at Oberoi Mall, says.

Retailers also plan to take up the issue with the government as the new tax is imposed at a time when consumer sentiment is down and companies' profitability is under severe pressure.

"When retailers are paying service tax on costs such as rentals and electricity, it should be ideally adjusted in sales tax. But retailers eventually will end up paying both sales and service tax," says Kumar Rajagopalan, chief executive of Retailers Association of India, a 400-member strong industry body. "It's a huge concern for a business that makes a net profit of just 3% on an average," he adds.

If the levy is brought in after the start of GST, retailers would be able to avail of the setoff of service tax paid against the VAT liability on sale of goods, Rajagopalan says.

Electricity is the third most expense for retailers after salaries and rent.

Recently, credit rating agency Fitch revised the outlook for Indian retail sector to negative from stable for the first half of the fiscal, saying same-store sales growth slipped across lifestyle and value-based formats in the quarter ended June. Last year, retailers had challenged the government's move to impose a service tax on commercial rentals but failed to secure a relief.
