SOx NOx 2017 - The Conference

It is important to understand that the coal-based thermal power sector is the single large source of industrial pollution in India. It accounts for 60% of particulate emissions, 45-50% of SOx emissions, 30% of NOx emissions, more than 80% of toxic mercury emissions and 70% of freshwater withdrawal from the entire industrial sector. Cleaning up the coal power sector will, therefore, have massive environmental and health benefits.


The standards that were notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) in December 2015, according to our estimates, would reduce freshwater withdrawal from coal power sector by 85%, particulate emissions by 65%, and SOx emissions by over 85% and NOx by almost 70%. These are massive cuts and they will be achieved by implementing a set of standards that are no more stringent than what other countries across the world have imposed on their coal power sectors. In fact, China today implements far more stringent standards than those that have been notified by the MoEF&CC.


The MoEF&CC has set a deadline of December 2017 for the coal power sector to meet these standards. But the industry has so far dragged its feet. Most companies have not even started initial work. The industry is demanding at least five more years to implement these standards. 


Thermal power generation process will become more complex owing to the need of addressing climate change issues and mitigating stricter emission norms in future, at the same time tremendous pressure is on the generator to make the electricity affordable to all and to also remain competitive in the market.


In this new emerging scenario, there is a bigger responsibility to be shared by all those involved in the power plant design & engineering, operation & maintenance, renovation & modernization, erection & commissioning, environment management, commercial management, technology provider, product and solution providers, policy maker, regulators and others. These professionals have to work with new set of different challenges and constraints which are known or lesser known at this stage.


Faced with the fact that almost none of the over 400 thermal power plants across the country has complied with new emission norms notified more than a year ago, the Government is learnt to have decided to relax the December 2017 deadline — and even dilute the standards it had set.


The non-compliance shouldn’t come as a surprise. For, right from the draft stage to the post-notification phase, the move to raise the bar faced stiff resistance from within the government and the industry.


Mission Energy Foundation will address the various issues and challenges and gather industry stakeholders during SOx NOx 2017 the 2nd annual Conference – Expo – Awards to be held on 21-22 September 2017, New Delhi.

Supporting Organisations

The Conference

SOx NOx 2017 is structured to cover the various aspects related & relevant to thermal power plants under the Environment (Protection) Amendment Rule, 2015 with its objective to address the various issues and challenges and gather industry stakeholders to be held on 21-22 September 2017, New Delhi.

The Exhibition

Exhibiting at SOx NOx 2017 is a cost effective and invaluable tool to help deliver your technology, product, equipment and services to senior decision makers of your core target market and will help grow your business.

The Awards

Mission Energy Foundation strives to promote the industry’s power to innovate. The SOx NOx Award will be introduced during the conference, honouring clean generators and solutions providers for better development of the power sector for the years to come ahead...

This non-compliance, however, is not entirely surprising since there was a stiff resistance from within the industry to this decision to raise the bar. The below table explains it better...

Excuse for non-compliance?
----------------------------------

Non availability of technologies

------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign technology suppliers may benefit out of implementation of these standards





------------------------------------------------------------
Estimates of CEA show that the cost of electricity will increase by 20-30 paisa per unit over the next two years (or about 5% over two years) because of these standards
------------------------------------------------------------
Power demand is far lower than supply and debt burden is high


--------------------------------------------------------------------

CAPEX and OPEX would have to be allowed by the regulators in tariff which ultimately would burden the consumers as power tariff may increase roughly by 45 to 55 paise/kWh.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Do Ministry of Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy want to prevaricate and delay further?

Actual Facts
----------------

Technologies to control all pollutants are mature and are being used across the world, including in our own country
------------------------------------------------------------
In today’s globalised market, we cannot ask power companies to only use domestic technology. Also, pollution control technologies are not portable equipment that will be shipped from foreign soils. Most of these technologies are massive EPC (erection, procurement and commissioning) projects requiring construction that will be done by Indian contractors and sub-contractors even if a foreign company is involved
------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past 10 years, the cost of power generation in India has grown by 8% every year on an average, the cost to implement these standards is highly affordable
------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed to use a part of the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF), which is collected from a cess on coal, to help industry meet the standards
------------------------------------------------------------
Low interest and long-tenure loans be given to coal power companies from NCEF to implement the standards. The interest accrued from these loans can be spent to incentivise renewable energy companies. So, in one stroke, we will be able to clean coal power as well as promote renewable energy. 
------------------------------------------------------------
Come to the table and work with MoEF&CC to find a reasonable time frame to implement the standards

Get answers at SOx NOx 2017 – 2nd Annual Conference – Expo – Awards

Completely meeting requirements of revised environmental norms by December 2017 may not be feasible


Is this tussle a between energy and environment or do we need energy in an affordable and environmentally-sound manner by implementing the norms


Are there any discussions existing to increase implementation deadline (beyond December 2017)


Is the approach of cleaning up coal plants and promoting renewable energy together meets this objective?


Will the old polluting plants be replaced with supercritical super efficient plants to reduce the current pollution level?


Has the government has identified 7,738 mw inefficient thermal plants, which would be replaced with supercritical units, to conserve scarce natural resources like land, water and coal

Issues & Challenges 

• About for FGD installation.


• Even where space is available, FGD installation may take around 2 to 3 years and involve plant shutdown of 4-6 months.  

  Dismantling / Relocation of existing plant facilities may be required in certain cases, affecting plant operation.


• Installation of FGD on over 2 lakh MW capacities would need limestone of around 24 MTPA and produce 34 MTPA of

  gypsum. Disposal it environmentally friendly manner / marketing avenues of gypsum need to be considered.


• Some utilities having installed FGD are already facing problems of gypsum disposal.


• The Auxiliary Power Consumption shall increase for FGD operation by 1.0-1.5% affecting the plant efficiency.


• The mining capacity of limestone in the country and its transportation to plants and associated challenges need to be

  addressed.


• Quality of Indigenous Lime Stone / suitability or arrangements for its import.

• Installation of DeNOx system in the existing units shall be a difficult task in view of the lay-out issues.


• Installation of SCR systems require extensive change in duct work, change of ID fan etc. for which no provision has been kept  in the existing plants.


• Consumption of about 2500 tons ammonia per year for a 500 MW unit, its availability, transportation, handling & storage at plants.


• Environmental hazards of Ammonia.


• Catalyst for the SCR system is very expensive and has limited life (around 3 years).


• Impact on O&M charges and increased power consumption due to increased pressure drop in the system.

• Biggest constraint even if technical feasibility exists


• FGD & DeNOx systems have to be imported from other countries as the same is not manufactured indigenously.


• Installation of @ 20,000 MW / annum in about 2,56,000 MW capacity

(1,75,200 existing + 80,800 MW under construction) would take more than 10 years.
