Page 1 of 2 JAKARTA. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is a government institution in India which is responsible for developing new and renewable energy in order to fulfill its energy needs. The need for new and renewable energy in India is done through increased domestic production in line with the policy of energy diversification, and planned for the year 2032 could reach 5-6 percent of the energy mix, particularly for converting coal and oil consumption.
Policy development of new energy and renewable energy sources mainly carried out on fuel derived from vegetable (BBN), solar energy, wind energy, and micro-hydro energy. The main program is done on energy development is to: (i) a program of integrated energy development in rural areas: (ii) the development of electricity in rural areas remains: (iii) biogas, (iv) renewable energy for urban areas, industries and urban areas. Fulfilling the needs of electricity is the main policy in India especially with the publication of the Electricity Act in 2003 and carried out through new and renewable energy policy. Biofuel Policy in India is done through the development of biodiesel and bioethanol, with commodities: (i) of Jatropha curcas, (ii) Karanjia, (iii) Castor oil, (iv) Cotton seed oil, and (v) Mollasses, (vi) Beet; and (vii) Sorghum, which was wholly developed primarily to meet the energy needs of the transportation sector. The direction of commodity development is on a non-edible oil, so it does not compete with food policy. BBN policies implemented by the Ministry of Petroleum in 2005. Commodities Jatropha for biodiesel is still in early stages of development at research institutions, with a target on land use beyond the use of critical agricultural region, and in line with the establishment of Rural Business Hubs as a biodiesel processor. Target B-5 and gradually towards the B-20 is mandatory from the Indian government in the development and application of biodiesel. A series of experiments have been carried out by mixing 5% biodiesel for the transportation sector, such as cars and trains, including emissions testing test. Petroleum industry could be given policy concessions when developing biodiesel by the Indian government. Development policies aimed at exploiting Molasses bioethanol derived from sugarcane commodity, so as not to disrupt the supply of sugar. Currently established policies E-5 and gradually developed into the E-10 in 2012. A series of experiments to the automotive industry for the implementation of E-5 and has been declared feasible, but currently still can not be improved towards higher because it is still considered to interfere with the vehicle engine. Indian Oil has implemented E-5 in some states of India since 2003, and its utilization will be better when applying catalytic converter kit. Wind energy development (wind energy) in India is aimed to exploit the potential of wind power as an energy source through research and application more efficiently. The potential is preceded by mapping the availability of wind power data as a reference to determine the location, with an estimated speed of at least 4-5 m / sec. Currently, there are 45 wind power energy stations in 14 states, with 16 wind power energy monitoring station, with capacity ranging from 250 kW turbines - 1000 kW. Solar energy in India was developed for urban areas, commercial and residential, as sources of electricity including for water heating, and that has not been electrified diperdesaan primarily as sources of illumination. In general, the utilization of solar energy water heating at 100 liters / day can save electricity up to 1500 kWh / year, while the development of solar photovoltaic (SPV) cells have been exploited as a source of lighting homes and streets. Policy of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has been conducted by the Indian government with the main objective to reduce air pollution in major cities of India, as well as the conversion of energy utilization. Utilization of CNG, especially in the Indian capital is directed at public transport vehicles such as city buses and three wheelers (Bajaj), and provides both on CNG filling station and CNG special SPBG cooperate with the state-owned or private. India is one of the developing countries are very good in learning new and utilization of renewable energy because the focus of government policy and earnestly with the exploitation of resources relatively many and varied, with the policies carried out in a systematic, comprehensive, and integrative, including policies to improve incomes in rural communities through the provision of lighting facilities and energy. Functioning of institutions of research and development (R & D) in the field of new energy technologies and renewable shown to produce works of technology, and in India emerging from research centers like the Center for Wind Energy Technology, Solar Energy Center, as well as the automotive industry such as Tata Motors and Gujarat roadways . others do not become one of the key successful implementation of renewable energy in India. Besides regulatory policy issued by the Government of India is able to present a climate that not only private umbrella but also society as an integral part of the stakeholders in the energy sector.
