Module-3 Technology and Behavior change
Day 2
Energy and its requirements
primary / secondary sources of energy
nuclear power
Energy consumption by different countries
carbon emissions by India
coal consumption by India ,US ,Russia and China
conventional energy sources
formation and use of coal
uses of oil
natural gas
renewable sources
Day 3
Deciding targets to achieve them
Finding alternatives to fossil fuel
Establishment of MNRE on the national level and GEDA on the state level.
implementation of MNRE
The top producers of renewable energy are:
Asia,
America, and
Europe
Solar thermal ~ heat
Solar photovoltaics ~ light
Comparison between solar PV and solar thermal and which is more efficient in India
Advantages of installing a wind turbine
Fuel cells

Wind+PV
Day 1
Carbon Credit
The mechanism to monitor and control GHG emissions of countries and industries.
1 carbon credit= 1 ton of CO2
Carbon Footprints
The total amount of GHG that are generated by our actions
Average carbon footprint in US=16 tons
Average carbon footprint globally=4 tons
Green House Gas Emissions
CO2 comprises 2/3rd of GHG emissions.
Most CO2 emissions (89%) are from the use of fossil fuels
Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) make up 1/5th and 1/20th of total GHG emissions.
