(\u00a9 Bundesregierung \/ Carsten Koall)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At Fraunhofer ISE, I have been working on my project \u201cConcentrating Solar Technologies for Low and Medium Range Temperature Requirement in Cooking, Cooling, Industrial and other Applications &#8211; Ensure Access to Affordable, Reliable, Sustainable and Modern Energy for All\u201d. In my home country India, nearly 50% of total energy is used for heat applications in India. They include cooking \u2013 community and family, hospitals &amp; hospitality, religious and institutional premises, industrial sector. And one third of the more than 30 million enterprises in India require energy either for process heat or in the form of electricity. As per some estimates, nearly 15 million tons of oil and 50 million tons of biomass fuels are used to meet the process heat applications. This is in addition to about 400 million tons of biomass and other fuels used to meet the household cooking energy needs. A typical installation for cooking for 1000 people requires about 250 square meter of collector area. It costs about 60,000 USD [i.e. about Rs 40 lakhs]. It can replace about 17,500 liters of fuel oil annually, thus saves 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide and about 10.500USD [Rs 7 lakhs] annually. Thus the payback on investment is about 6 years on full cost. With a subsidy from the central government of about 30%, it is reduced to about 4.5 years (but is variable as it depends on the oil prices).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2505\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2505\" style=\"width: 257px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a class=\"gridlove-popup-img\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2505\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung.jpg\" alt=\"Professor Dr. Hans-Christian Pape (r.) handed over the certificate to Kumar Abhishek\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung.jpg 557w, https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung-370x432.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung-270x315.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung-257x300@2x.jpg 514w, https:\/\/blog.innovation4e.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Zertifikat-Humboldt-Stiftung-270x315@2x.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2505\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">During a reception hosted for all the scholars, the President of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Professor Dr. Hans-Christian Pape (r.) handed over the certificate to Kumar Abhishek. (Photo: Humboldt-Foundation \/ David Ausserhofer)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite significant progress with support from United Nations and Global Environmental Facility (GEF), there were several issues to be solved in the CST sector in India and significant traction required to exploit the potential. This motivated me to work in this direction and bridge the gaps. Firstly being, the payback on investment is still not very attractive, so there is a need to reduce the cost. Once the cost is reduced, the financial subsidy\/ incentives won\u2019t be necessary. Secondly, the technology packages are yet to perform to their claimed capacities \u2013 this can further reduce the payback period in reality. Thirdly, some of the components like mirrors are imported which adds to the costs and supply issues \u2013 large scale deployment can attract investment to set up such a mirror producing facility. Fourthly, some of the policies\/regulation are not yet conducive. For example, Renewable Purchase Obligation does not include renewable energy used for heat applications or off-grid applications. Its inclusion can increase the uptake of solar concentrators.<\/p>\n<p>At the Fraunhofer ISE, I adhered to the issue of selection of technology by developing a scientific tool in cooperation with host institute for scientifically select suitable solar concentrating technology for varied locations. Still under development is a Renewable Heat Obligation within the Renewable Purchase Obligation to be submitted to the Indian Government for implementation. Furthermore, I am working on an enabling atmosphere and connection between the supply chain stakeholders of India and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>As a part of the fellowship, I will be working with Fraunhofer ISE until at least September 2018. But in the time after, I would like to stay in Germany and learn a bit more, moreover continue to build bridges between India and Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not every day you meet the Federal Chancellor of Germany.
