A number of publications have been recently available from international and national agencies in the field of energy statistics. Analysis of data from these publications shows that per capita energy consumption remains low; simply because 40-50% of the population does not have access to electricity and other commercial fuels. To achieve good standard of living for everyone, consumption of electricity and other sources has to rise substantially. India is depending heavily on imported oil, coal and gas. To achieve energy security, improve balance of payment and reduce emissions, energy efficiency offers the most cost-effective solutions. Energy policy has to shift drastically from supply side to demand side management. Organizations like BEE, PCRA, GEDA, MEDA have to be given significantly large human and financial resources. Importance has to be given to residential sector and small and medium industries. Public transport and railways need heavy investment compared to private vehicles and expressways.Keywords

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels are the most important cause of global warming. Here we analyse recent data published by the International Energy Agency. CO2 emission drivers like population, GDP, carbon intensity and energy efficiency are analysed for the time period from 1971 to 2015 for the whole world and five countries like USA, Japan, Germany, China and India. Carbon intensity of primary energy supply has not changed much, but population and GDP have increased sharply. Energy efficiency, including structural changes in economy have restricted CO2 emissions to some extent, but continuous increase of GDP by developed countries will not leave much space for growth of developing countries. Emissions from road transport and residential sectors deserve special attention.Full Text

The energy crisis of 1973 shocked the world from complacency about energy supply and price. The world has responded by significant improvement in energy efficiency and substitution of oil. Global warming concerns are further driving energy efficiency and the rise of renewables. This article looks at the energy scene in World and India before and after the energy crisis. Some observations are made based on available data for further action.Full Text

This article discusses three case studies of renewable energy integration in power grid from the international literature. Case studies in India and Gujarat in particular are discussed. Capacity and energy generation for 2019–20 actual and 2029–30 estimated are provided. Methods of renewable energy integration are discussed in detail. A brief review of energy storage technology is given. It is shown that with the setting up of Green Energy Corridors and Renewable Energy Management Centres, India would be able to integrate planned renewable energy generation without much difficulty. It must be noted that in the next 25 years renewable energy source, including hydro, will only provide 35–40 % of electricity generation. Coal will remain the main energy source for power, and oil and gas for transport.Keywords
