Natural Gas in India - Part 1

The India business wire reported today that discussing the price of natural gas in the country of India has become a significant issue for the Indian government and the India industry. The natural gas issue, however, is that we must use whatever resources we have as efficiently as possible. While the Indian hydrocarbon reserves - both oil and natural gas reserves- are depleting very quickly fast, natural gas prices are bound to go up. The efficient use of natural gas can prove to be a reliable solution to this problem of hydrocarbon shortages and state Indian governments and industry needs to step up the adoptation of fuel efficient methods, especially for power generation said Ajit C Kapadia, vice chairman, Centre for Fuel Studies and Research.

“India’s combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) mode must be given top priority as it can be the ideal solution, Ajit C. Kapadia told Business Standard online, “The Planning Commission report on integrated energy policy and the statement by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and former President APJ Abdul Kalam stress efficient use of our fuel and energy resources. Natural gas in large quantities — to the extent of 80 to 100 million standard cubic meters per day is likely to be available in the next 2-3 years beginning June 2008. The ongoing debate on price of Natural Gas may be too hot to handle politically, but instead the focus should be on efficiency.” Suggesting the combined cooling, heating and power CCHP mode as a solution, he said, “It has been experienced not only by the international community, but by Indian industries as well that when Natural Gas is used in combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) mode, it is possible to get 75-90 per cent thermal efficiency.” “The industry consumes 35 per cent of the energy generated in India. Even if all 100 million standard cubic meters per day of natural gas is used in combined cycle mode of power generation , it can only supply 25,000 Megawatt power (combined cycle 50 per cent efficiency mode).
