Segments Define Us
Land Fill Gas-LFG: 0.498 million tonnes of Methane is annually emitted from Indian Landfills creating an opportunity of millions of CERs. Rural farm labourers, marginal farmers, affected by Climate Change/ Reduced Rain Fall, lured by the city dream and affected by un ending debt, head to cities of India. An estimated 400 families migrate every day just in to Mumbai city. These affected people who migrate in to a city land up becoming Landfill scavenger, when nothing else works. A definite planned social component of Banyan Land Fill Projects will help mitigate impact of Climate Change on such people.
Biomass Integrated Energy Systems-BIES: Local employment and an option to remain within the rural, tribal, forest area is paramount for nearly 600 million affected people. BIES can just provide that. Given the fact that over 78 million households in India are DARK, have NO access to electricity, it will be valuable to develop Technology & IPR that will help them access Electricity at an affordable price for the system as well as its operation. We firmly believe a CDM Project well innovated can do EXACTLY that. This might also be the way to build the 190,000MW power generation capacity that India needs by 2020. Even if only 10% of the new capacity is using biomass by 2020, an estimated millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions will be eliminated, even if we do not account for Methane from biomass combution.
Energy Efficiency in Home Appliances Sector: There are an estimated 400 million Air Conditiners in USE worldwide which will benefit from the patent filed by Banyan for reducing Energy Consumption particularly during lighter loads/ night hours. Even at 2% of the penetration by 2012 this will reduce CO2 emissions by millions of tonnes.
Mitigation of Nitrous Oxide Emissions by Organic Farming: Farmers growing pulses using Nitrogen /Chemical fertilizers are largest contributor of Nitrous Oxide Emissions. The methodology for this needs to be developed, yet this has a potential to benefit millions of farmers across the country too. This has an estimated potential to reduce 1.26 million tonnes of Nitrous Oxide, if sufficient compost is available to replace chemical Nitrogen Fertiliser.
Methane Emissions Reduction by Composting: Mixed Compost available from composting Mixed waste that has metals and compostable materials is not of much value and is being given away free. Source segregated waste can be composted gainfully and also avoid potential Methane emissions. This has very significant avoided costs for the Municipalities and Society, enabling Cleaner Cities. This is also one of the high potential segments.
