mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol
(KP), 1997 that enables developing
countries to assist developed countries
in meeting their green house gas (GHG)
emissions reduction targets. The
ultimate objective of this mechanism is
to stabilize GHG concentration. It has
created an additional source of income
for the promoters of projects that reduce
green house gas emissions.
NHPC has actively considered the
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
for its hydro power projects. Project Idea
Notes (PINs) for 15 (Fifteen) projects
have been prepared. Host Country
approval for Nimoo-Bazgo (3X15 MW)
and Chutak Project (4X 11 MW) in J&K
State have been obtained from National
CDM Authority in August 2007 .The
Project Design Document (PDD) of both
the projects were put on NHPC website
for stake holder comments from
31.10.07 to 29.11.07. Validation meeting
DNV (Designated Operational Entity )to
validate and verify the documents for
Nimoo Bazgo and Chutak projects was
held on 3.12.07.
Ecological Study of hydro reservoir has
been taken up to assess the role of
reservoir in GHG emission and its
contribution to climate change. Phase-
I Ecological study of Teesta river at
Teesta Stage-V Hydroelectric Project
has been got done by National
Environmental Engineering Research
Institute (NEERI), Nagpur and Phase-
II ecological study is under process.
National R&D Project for “Development
of Silt Erosion Resistant Material for
Turbines of Hydro Generators” for
which NML (National Metallurgical
Laboratory) Jamshedpur is the lead
agency and NHPC is one of the
participating agencies.
Rs. 36 Lakhs as the initial contribution
of NHPC was paid to CPRI, Bangalore
during the FY 2005-06.
NML has visited the Salal & Baira Siul
Power Stations of NHPC to inspect the
silt affected under water components.
The matter regarding Patent &
Technology Transfer Mechanism has
been discussed in the 11th Meeting of
the SCRD held on 22.8.07.
process & will be submitted to
CDM EB for registration.
Phase-II Ecological Study shall
be taken up.
Signing of the MOU between the
participating organizations is
under process.
