Green technologies can be profitable, say global CEOs

The public discourse on climate change has tended to frame the issue as a tradeoff between development and greening; as a choice between generating wealth and creating a less carbon-intensive environment.

With United Nations talks in Copenhagen aimed at negotiating a global deal to replace the Kyoto protocol round the corner, it is the governments and political leaders of the world’s nations that have taken centre stage in the discussion.

But one crucial actor missing from much of the climate change conversation is business. If society is to make any fundamental changes in the model of growth, then business must not only be on board but must be a driver of innovation.

So, what does business have to say about the fight against global warming? How is the debate being framed by the wealth generators of society? Can climate change in fact be a money spinner?

Increasingly a number of businesses, both from traditional as well as newer, green-tech sectors, are answering that query in the affirmative. And unlike in the political sphere, the private sector’s response reveals a surprising unanimity between operators in the developed and developing world.

A recent report by Dalberg, an international consulting firm, titled ‘Champions of the Low Carbon Economy — Why CEOs are ready for a global climate agreement,’ undertook a survey of 40 global companies to conclude that business was eager for the opportunities an ambitious deal at Copenhagen would engender.

Three Indian groups were included: the Tatas, the SUN group and Praj Industries .

The common conclusion of the interviewed CEOs was that fighting climate change could be profitable, but a global deal would be necessary to secure the regulatory certainty required by business to truly commit to a new model of growth.

Pramod Chaudhari, Executive Chairman of Praj Industries, for example, envisioned a “2-3 times worldwide growth (for Praj) in the subsequent four- to five-year period, once a strong agreement and roadmap is in place.”

“The energy revolution is one of the greatest economic opportunities of our time,” added SUN Group’s Uday Khemka. “It will make the tech sector’s growth seem like a minor economic boom.”

Khemka warned however that “the failure to establish certainty and a price on carbon could result in a categorical disaster, because this could fundamentally undermine the confidence in clean energy investing and move the sector back a generation.”

Even companies without a specific focus on the environment underscored the need for a strong climate agreement, often in terms of protecting their customer base. Peter Foyo, who heads the wireless carrier Nextel Mexico, for example, claimed his business interest lay in the fact that, “My customer tomorrow needs to be a healthy person in a healthy world.”

The profits of fighting climate change are, moreover, not only a thing of the future. Many companies have already experienced how greening can be good for business. S M Trehan, Managing Director of the Indian power sector heavyweight Crompton Greaves , told Business Standard the company’s foreign subsidiaries survived the financial crisis by converting their manufacturing units to making transformers for wind turbines rather than the thermal power equipment they traditionally focused on.

“Climate change is the business opportunity of the twenty-first century,” said Trehan. “We need to focus on renewables and also energy efficiency. The opportunities lie in working out how to lower the losses during electricity transmission.” Crompton Greaves is part of the Avantha Group whose other main focus is on thermal power plants.

“If we envision the India of 2040, then 80 per cent of that country is yet to be built,” pointed out Richie Ahuja, the Indian representative of the Environmental Defence Fund. “This begs the question – do we follow the old growth paradigm or do we shift and develop a new growth paradigm that not only creates jobs but in the long run places us at a competitive advantage in the global economy?” Ahuja alluded to the fact that China has already seized the business opportunity inherent in low-carbon technologies.

From being the poster-child for environmental degradation, China has managed to turn its image around in a few short years, primarily because there is money to be made from it.

The country already produces some 50 percent of the world’s solar water heaters and nearly a third of the global solar photovoltaic units. The world’s largest SPV manufacturer, Suntech, is Chinese.

Suntech’s CEO Zhengrong Shi, also interviewed in the Dalberg Report, holds 11 patents and grew his business from a startup to its current size of $2 billion, in just eight years.

The Suntech story has encouraged a slew of companies to join the solar power sector, including Sunvim, a Zhejiang-based textile maker better known for one of the country’s popular towel brands.

According to a China Daily report, entire towns in Zhejiang province, the heart of the country’s light manufacturing region, are turning from textile production, in which China has long been a world-beater, to polysilicon manufacturing, a key component of the SPV industry.

The report quoted Shen Fuxin, the General Secretary of the Zhejiang Solar Energy Industry Association as saying that the average profits made by companies in the sector were reaching 20-30 percent.

China is also set to become the world’s leading manufacturer of wind turbines, with production capacity already at 13 GW, way ahead of the 10 GW by 2010 target set by the government. Chinese firms are aggresively competing in other global, low carbon markets as well, including energy efficient home appliances, and rechargeable batteries.

According to the UK-headquartered Climate Group investment in renewable energy in China — almost $12 billion in 2007 — is almost level with world leader Germany  as a percentage of GDP.

Pan Jiahua, Deputy Director of the Research Center for Sustainable Development at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told the Business Standard that green businesses in China were benefiting from a government that had realised that fighting climate change and economic development could go hand in hand rather than being seen in terms of a trade off.

“At the moment our power is coal based. But this is very dirty and we suffer from terrible pollution. Clean technologies will have a huge, positive health impact. What’s more they create jobs,” explained Pan.

“Looking at China,” EDF’s Ahuja concluded, “the question arises: Is this not the story we want to replicate in India based on the local context?”

Crompton’s Trehan answers with optimism. “It’s just a matter of time. India already has the fifth largest installed base for wind energy. As a business we are bullish on climate change.”

 

Got a fake note by mistake? You still are in trouble!

Bindisha Sarang,Outlook Money

Picture    this. You are  in a tearing  hurry and  you pay off  the taxi guy  as you reach  your  destination.  He gives you  the change,  which you  hastily dump in your purse and rush. Off you go to a shopping mall to buy something. You pay at the counter with the notes you just got from the taxi guy.

The salesperson looks at one of the notes with suspicion and gives you an eerie look. He checks the note against fluorescent blue light, smells, crushes and lick tests it. Yuck! You say in disgust. He declares it fake and asks you for another one.

Standing agape, you demand he takes it. He threatens to call the police. You run for your life.

You better do!

Rakesh Maria, joint police commissioner (crime), Mumbai City, says: “Possession of fake notes is an offence. One Rs 5 fake note is good enough [to be guilty of possession].” Well, now that you have a fake note in possession, you are already in trouble, technically! So what do you do now? Read on. . .

The legal tangle

With revenge on your mind, you determine to palm off the note to some unsuspecting fellow. In fact, if you think of palming off the note, you are not alone.

A quick dipstick survey shows 98 per cent people would do the same. But you better not do that, either.

Maria says, “It is unfortunate that people palm off fake notes. Palming off a fake note knowingly is also an offence.”

You definitely do not want to be caught doing that. In fact, intentionally passing on a fake currency note is a cognisable offence, which could lead to a prison term.

Cursing your fate, you decide to get rid of the bummer right away, but how? A friend who inadvertently received a fake note donated it to a temple. (Another dipstick survey at a few local religious places shows that nearly 20 per cent of donations are in form of either soiled or fake notes.)

That’s too low for you to do. Having run out of options, you march to a local bank, hoping to get an exchange.

The brutal truth

A Reserve Bank of India spokesperson says: “According to the RBI, when a customer takes a counterfeit note to a bank, the bank is supposed to impound it and give the customer an acknowledgement receipt.”

After impounding the note, they will stamp it ‘Counterfeit bank note impounded’ and give you an acknowledgement receipt, even if you refuse to countersign the same. You lose your money since a fake note is never paid for but confiscated.

But that’s not the end of the story.

The bank will file a First Information Report against your name at the local police station. A copy of this FIR is sent to the Forged Banknote Vigilance Cell at the bank’s head office.

The bank will be alert if you try to deposit any fake notes in the future. The police will look into the matter and carry routine investigation in order to get any further leads and zero down on the exact source.

Says Maria: “Crime does not differentiate between class. Even if you are a housewife who inadvertently has a fake note, we can investigate. Once we know that there is no mens rea (criminal intent), we just make a diary entry.”

Following the investigation, if you are found to be an inadvertent victim, the matter ends there.

But let’s get real! Do you, even as a customer who honestly walked into a bank after being palmed off a fake note, want to face the police?

What if you are planning for studies abroad, or an employment visa? Wouldn’t an FIR in your name have a negative influence on visa authorities? “No,” says Maria. However, a source from British consulate says: “. . . on verification, things like this may give a wrong impression about you to visa authorities.”

Are banks remiss?

Newspapers and news channels have been reporting about ATMs dispensing fake notes. Instances of bank staff diluting authentic currency with fakes have been reported, too.

Take the case of the chief cashier of a State Bank of India branch in Domariaganj, who was caught in the Rs 4 crore (Rs 40 million) fake currency scam. Such instances show that even banks can be a source of fake notes these days.

A cashier in a private bank says on the condition of anonymity: “We get customers who bring in fake notes, claiming that our ATM had dispensed it, but since they can’t prove it, we are helpless to do anything about it.”

Stories of banks brushing off responsibility, after dispensing fake notes via ATMs, is not uncommon.

The RBI has taken initiatives to deal with the dispensing of fake notes by ATMs. It has asked banks to set up note-sorting machines at all branches. In future, ATMs might be fitted with in-built detectors for fake currency notes.

The apex bank has proposed to introduce plastic notes, and it is common knowledge that improvisation in security features of the notes is an ongoing process.

Data from the RBI show that 398,111 counterfeit notes were detected during 2008-09 at the Reserve Bank’s offices and branches alone. It goes without saying that there are many more in circulation and the number will only increase.

The best defence is to be vigilant while handling cash, especially with Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes. And of course, pray that you never receive a fake note again!

Mobile Phone Etiquettes – all good things should be enjoyed responsibly

We all love our mobiles… we talk, we text, we listen to music and we stay in touch.Can we ever imagine a day without our mobile? No never. Yes we know what an important part of our lives the mobile phone is.

However, all good things should be enjoyed responsibly. How it cheeses us off when someone takes a call in the middle of Shahrukh proposing to Deepika! Or for that matter when you have to listen to the loud mouth bragging about his date last evening standing next to you at the bus stop. Yes we know how that feels and that’s why here are a few points to remember when using your mobile. We call these basic mobile etiquettes and if we all pay a little attention to these, life would be so much less annoying for all of us. So here goes…

1. You should strictly adhere to the rules/ regulations/ orders/ instructions as issued from time to time by the Government/ Authorities in School, Colleges, Offices, etc.
2. In public places, the mobile phone should be kept in switched off mode or in vibration or silent mode, as per the instructions on the sign boards displayed by the Authorities in hospitals, airplanes, trains, buses, places of worship, cremation/burial ground, auditorium, cinema halls, etc.
3. Mobile phone should not be used while driving. No never!
4. In public places you should be considerate to people sitting or standing next to you. You can move away from the people so that they are not forced to listen to your personal/business conversation.
5. Mobile phones should not be used to capture photographs of individuals without their knowledge and consent. No not even if you think you are Gautam Rajadhyaksha! It should not be used to take photographs in public places-deemed-private like swimming pools, gym, etc. Privacy of persons around the user of camera phone should be respected.
6. Ringtones should be set at low level and should not be annoying to the people around.
7. The mobile phone user should not send request to television operators for scrolling their private SMSs on the screen of the televisions.

Big fire in IOC depot near Jaipur : Govt expresses helplessness in controlling fire

 

The raging fire continuing through the night at an Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) depot near Jaipur has so far left at least five people dead and over 200 injured, officials said on Friday. But according to sources, the toll was feared to be as high as 20.

The injured had been rushed to four hospitals in the city, including the Sawai Man Singh Hospital where four more persons, including three women, were brought in the morning.

Many were still feared trapped inside the depot located in the Sitapura industrial area on the outskirts of the city. Hassled relatives were heard complaining of inadequate help from the authorities and frantically crying for help for their loved ones.

The Centre announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the dead. Compensation for those injured would be offered in three categories – Rs 5 lakh for the seriously injured, Rs 2 lakh for the injured and Rs 1 lakh for the slightly injured.

Never seen such a blaze: Deora
The scale of the blaze and the intensity of the flames forced Union Petroleum Minister Murli Deora to admit that it was virtually impossible to control the inferno until the fuel in the tanks ran out.

“It’s difficult to control this fire,” Deora said after reaching Jaipur with a team of six experts. “It will be wrong to say we don’t have the infrastructure. But it’s difficult to control a fire of such scale. India has never seen a blaze like this.”

Asked how the fire had started, Deora said: “I cannot say how. A committee will investigate the cause and we will take action accordingly.”

3-km belt around depot affected
The fire, which began after a loud explosion around 7.30 pm on Thursday, spread to all the six tanks at the depot. The flames also destroyed all industrial units within a 3-km radius of the depot.

Fresh explosion, smoke everywhere
A fresh explosion in a tanker was heard around 9 am on Friday. A few houses near the depot too went up in flames and its residents had to be evacuated. Up to 10 kilometers around the site had been vacated. The entire area was filled with smoke.

Around 40-50 houses and 12 factories had been gutted in the area. Hundreds were forced to leave their homes.

Meanwhile, GAIL stopped the supply of gas through its pipeline from Jamnagar to Loni as a precautionary measure.

Safety measures failed
While the cause of the fire would be known only after a probe, the standard fire safety measures at oil depots are:

- If a depot has more than one tanker, these are built at a distance from each other.

- Oil tankers have water tanks in them so that water can be used to bring temperatures down in case of a fire.

- Every tank has a foam tank in it.

 

Queen’s Baton for Delhi 2010 Games

The Queen’s Baton for the Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010 – a combination of hand-crafted excellence and precision engineering – is a true symbol of India: its ancient roots and present vibrant, modern identity. It is also representative of India’s diversity – the Baton’s colour scheme showcases ‘soils’ from every corner of the country, a rich palette ranging from white sands to yellow clay, deep reds to dark browns of loam.
The helix shape of the Baton, created out of aluminium, is coated with the graded and layered soil pattern, the whole being covered with a clear lacquer coat to protect the Baton and provide a high lustre to the surface.

There is a polycarbonate shell at the pinnacle of the Baton which will contain Her Majesty’s ‘Message to the Athletes’ for the 19^th Commonwealth Games to be held in Delhi in 2010.

In another juxtaposition of ancient and modern India, the Queen’s message will engraved onto a miniature gold leaf in the tradition of the ancient Indian ‘pathras’, but using a modern laser technology known as micro calligraphy.

The 1,690 millimeter (mm) high Baton, 44 mm at the base and 111 mm at the top, weighs a mere 1,900 grams and has an ergonomical design for ease of holding.

High-tech features of the Baton include:

• The ability to capture images and sound as it travels throughout all nations of the Commonwealth
• The latest global positioning system (GPS) technology through which the exact location of the Baton can be tracked on the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games website
• Embedded light emitting diodes (LEDs) which will change into the colours of a country’s flag whilst in that country
• Text messaging capability so that anyone anywhere can send their messages of congratulations and encouragement to the Baton-bearers through the Relay

The Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton is created using processes and technologies existing in India by Foley Design in partnership with Titan and Innovate.

 

 

Queen’s Baton Relay Route in Delhi 2010

 

The Baton’s journey symbolises the unity and shared ideals of the Commonwealth of Nations, and enables communities beyond the Host City to share the Games celebrations. It also serves a functional purpose in carrying Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I’s ‘message to the athletes’ from Buckingham Palace in London to the opening ceremony of the Games.

The Delhi 2010 Queen’s Baton Relay will commence from Buckingham Palace, London, in the first week of November 2009. The Baton will then travel through all the Commonwealth nations – a historic journey that will cover a distance of more than 170,000 kilometres in 236 days. On its 100 day national tour, the Baton will visit every Indian state and its capital, plus many other cities along the way, covering more than 20,000 kilometers.

By the end of its journey, the Baton will have traversed over 190,000 kilometres in 336 days, making the Delhi 2010 Queen’s Baton Relay one of the longest relays in the history of the Commonwealth Games. The Baton will also have passed through thousands of hands, and travelled by different modes of transport across land, air and sea.

The Relay will conclude after the final Baton-bearer enters the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium during the opening ceremony of the XIX Commonwealth Games on 3 October 2010 where Her Majesty’s message will be removed from the Baton and read aloud, officially opening the Games.
