  1. GAIL (INDIA) LIMITED THE CONTRIBUTION OF NATURAL GAS TOWARDS CLEANER AIR IN INDIA

  2. It is well known that fossil fuels cause air pollution by contributing harmful substances such as Oxides of carbon and Nitrogen, Sulphur compounds, methane and HCs, SPMs etc. Amongst the fossil fuels Natural Gas is considered the least polluting. POLLUTION FROM FOSSIL FUELS

  3. For a 100 MW power plant, percent reduction in pollutants by use of Natural Gas In place of Coal is given below: Sulphur Dioxide : 100% Nitrogen Oxides : 81% Carbon Dioxide : 42% SPM : 95% This is over and above elimination of tens and thousands tonnes of ash and slurry. NATURAL GAS Vs COAL

  4. FUEL/ EMISSIONS CO2 UHC CO NOx SOx PM PETROL 22,000 85 634 78 8.3 1.1 DIESEL 21,000 21 106 108 21 12.5 LPG 18,200 18 168 37 0.38 0.29 CNG 16,275 5.6 22.2 25.8 0.15 0.29 CNG IS THE LEAST POLLUTING (gm/100km) Source: US energy department ENVIRONMENT

  5. LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) EFFECTS Increased susceptibility to bacterial or viral respiratory infections Asthma Persistent cough Lung cancer Lack of coordination Blood disorders EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

  6. SHORT-TERM EFFECTS Irritation of eyes, nose and throat Dizziness (lightheadedness) Nausea (feeling sick to stomach) Wheezing Headache Weakness & numbness Chest tightness EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

  7. Due to its limited availability in India, priority has been given for use of NG in Power and Fertilizer plants. Entirely due to environment concerns NG use in sensitive areas such as for industries in Agra and Firozabad and transport sector in Delhi and Mumbai was enforced by SC. APPLICATIONS OF NATURAL GAS

  8. Natural Gas availability in 2002-03 was 30 BCM. Internal Consumption and LPG production account for 5 BCM. 11,700 MW power generation capacity is gas based (Total-110,000 MW). 10 MMTPA fertilizer production capacity is gas based (Total-15MMTPA). These 2 sectors account for 75% of NG sold. NATURAL GAS USE IN INDIA

  9. Other uses of Natural Gas are: Petrochemical production (1 MMTPA) Steel production Glass and Ceramic industry Tea gardens CNG and PNG About 2.4 MMTPA LPG is produced from NG - about 30% of total LPG production in India. NATURAL GAS USE IN INDIA

  10. TheHon’ble Supreme Court directed that Natural Gas must be supplied on a priority to the industries In Agra and Firozabad areas to protect the world famous historical monument – the Taj Mahal. Accordingly GAIL took up steps to arrange gas supply to the industrial consumers of what is commonly known as the Taj Trapezium. NATURAL GAS IN AGRA

  11. SUPPLY OF GAS IN TAJ TRAPEZIUM ZONE

  12. GAS SUPPLY IN TAJ TRAPEZIUM ZONE GAIL established gas supply network in the cities of Agra & Firozabad in the year 1997. Natural Gas to replace fuels like coke, coal, diesel etc. 0.9 MMSCMD gas is supplied in TTZ thereby replacing over 3000 Tonnes of the polluting fuel i.e. Coke and coal. Considering the sulphur content of 2 - 3% in coal used, 75 Tonnes of sulphur is prevented from being released in the environment every day.

  13. GAS SUPPLY IN TAJ TRAPEZIUM ZONE • No. of Consumers: • No. of consumers in Agra – 110 • No. of consumers in Firozabad – 133 • Total no. of registered consumers – 297 • R-LNG is being introduced for all industrial and commercial establishments in TTZ- Demand registered by 538 units for R-LNG.

  14. CNG SUPPLY IN TAJ TRAPEZIUM ZONE ‘Project Blue Sky’ launched for establishment of CNG & city gas distribution network in five cities that includes Agra (IOC as JV partner). Detailed engineering completed. In phase – I, 7 CNG stations shall be established at an estimated cost of 49.28 Crores. In phase-II, another 5 stations shall be established at an estimated cost of 52.63 Crores.

  15. Supreme Court directive led to implementation of CNG program in Delhi, which faced high pollution levels, almost 70% from automobiles. Delhi today boasts of the world’s largest CNG bus fleet > 15,000 taking mini and RTVs together; Delhi breathes cleaner air today. Mumbai has also implemented a major drive to convert taxis and auto rickshaws to use of CNG. CNG TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY IN URBAN INDIA

  16. Benefits of CNG use are multifold. Environment friendly and hence better health Economical Safer WHY CNG?

  17. CNG IMPROVED AIR QUALITY IN DELHI Standard Emission Level SO2 : 80 µg/m3 NO2 : 80 µg/m3 SPM : 200 µg/m3 543 4.39 396.2 1.81 SO2 SPM NO2 MOTOR VEHICLES 76.1 46 33 6.4 SOURCE: CPCB

  18. COST COMPARISON WITH ALTERNATIVE FUELS In USD per km DELHI PRICES CNG : 0.37 USD/Kg PETROL :0.82 USD/Lt. DIESEL : 0.54 USD/Lt. 1 USD=45.03 INR ECONOMICS

  19. SAFETY ASPECTS OF CNG Lighter than air in event of leak it will rise and disperse in atmosphere. Unlikely to ignite due to narrow combustible range (5% - 15% concentration in air). High ignition temperature (5400C). CNG Cylinders structurally most sound and have passed every severe test. A survey on a size of 8,000 vehicles. conducted in USA, reported 34% less injury rates per Vehicular mile traveled. SAFETY

  20. CNG PROGRESS IN DELHI & MUMBAI

  21. CNG INFRASTRUCTURE IN DIFFERENT INDIAN CITIES AS OF NOW CITY STATION VEHICLE DELHI 124 95,000 MUMBAI 88 1,30,000 VADODARA 02 450 SURAT 03 600 ANKALESHWAR 01 100 TOTAL (IN INDIA) 218 2,26,150 Delhi has the Largest CNG Bus Fleet in the World

  22. CITY GAS DISTRIBUTION IN INDIA (UP TO JUNE 2004)

  23. FUTURE PROSPECTS OF NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY

  24. There are differing opinions on how the NG scenario is going to emerge. Expected new sources are: Indigenous: KG Basin, Western Offshore LNG : Dahej, Hazira, Mangalore, Kochi Ennore, Dabhol Pipeline : Myanmar, Bangladesh, Iran It is projected that demand potential will go up to 166 MMSCMD by ‘07, 216 by ‘12 and 322 by ‘25. Availability may go up to 104 (64), 238 and 264 MMSCMD for the corresponding periods. PROJECTIONS ON GAS AVAILABILITY

  25. Gas based power generation will be the primary application driving future developments. NTPC, MSEB, KPC, REL, TPC, TPGL and many other IPPs have drawn up detailed plans to create gas based generating capacity. Fertilizer industry will be the other main application with demand for gas going up to 43 MMSCMD from current 23 MMSCMD. CNG and PNG in urban areas will be another major focus area due to rising pollution in cities. NATURAL GAS USE – FOCUS AREAS

  26. Strong growth in Industry with increase in gas availability. There will be more suppliers, sellers and service providers – many more players. NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY GROWTH

  27. LNG terminal at Dahej is being augmented. Hazira terminal is about to start. Dabhol revival is on the cards. New terminals at Kochi, Mangalore and Ennore are at advanced stages of planning and approvals. Cross border pipeline projects from Iran and Bangladesh may have some uncertainties but Myanmar offshore gas is more likely to find India as destination. NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY GROWTH

  28. The major need is creation of a pipeline infrastructure to reach gas from the various sources to the markets. GAIL has proposed a National Gas Grid to achieve this objective. Regional networks have to be developed. GSPL has already made significant progress on this. It is expected that infrastructure creation will progress as new sources become ready to supply. NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY GROWTH

  29. The Government of India intends to table the Petroleum Regulatory Board Bill in Parliament soon. Apart from other roles, the Board will regulate gas sector. Gas pricing, transmission tariff and protection of consumer rights by ensuring fair business Practices will be some functions of the Board. Gas pipeline policy is also under formulation for award of ROU for laying new pipelines. NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY REGULATION
