International Solar Food Processing Conference 2009 Title: Indian Case Study of Bundling of Solar Steam Cooking projects to sell Gold standards Certified Emission Reduction (CER) and Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) 1 Abstract : Deepak Gadhia Gadhia Solar Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd. Plot No. 86, Old GIDC Gundlav Valsad 396035, Gujarat, India Email: gadhiasolar@yahoo.co.in Experience of Bundling of Steam Cooking Project for Sale of CERs and VERs is shared. 2 Background : Germany had hosted a global meet called Renewable 2004 in june in Bonn 2004. Around 3000 people were to participate and German Ministry of Environment and Nuclear Safety decided to make this Conference Carbon Neutral They started looking project from which they could buy Gold Standard CERs. The gave this task to its agency GTZ (Gesselschaft fuer Technische Zusamenarbeit= German Association of Technical Co-operation). The difference normal CERs and Gold Standard CERs is that the CERs arising of Sustainable project and which meet the stringent norms set by NGOs are called Gold standard CERs and they fetch better price than CERs. Mr. Christof Sutter of Factor is a friend of ours and has been associated with us right from beginning when we started our work on Solar Concentrators. At that time he visited India as Student Volunteer and was accompanying Mr. Wolfgang Scheffler. Later he finished his studies at ETH Zuerich and also did PhD there and joined Factor. In between he has earned reputation in field of CDM and is known as Indian Expert too. When he learnt that GTZ was looking for Gold standard CERs to make the meet Climate Neutral he approached us to ask if we would be interested. In past too we had done a project with along with him and Factor prepared PDD for a Bagasse based Cogeneration Power Project for a company that was planning to put up the same in a Sugar Industry Power Generation. At that time it was for Dutch Agency which had brought out tender to identify projects for CDM. Thus when Christof Sutter asked us we readily agreed to join hands with Factor and with their co-operation and inputs we prepared PIN and submitted same to Factor who submitted it to GTZ. GTZ liked the project and gave us go ahead. 48
International Solar Food Processing Conference 2009 New energy meter for concentrating solar cookers to monitor CO2 savings and acceptance Christoph Müller, hc-tronic, Coronel Arias 1091, 4600 San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina Tel: 0054/ (9) 388 4337154, Email: chris@hc-tronic.de Barbara Holzer, Fundacion EcoAndina Alexandros Cotanidis, Enveco GmbH Solar food: quality measures and indicators Abstract A new measurement device was developed, which allows measuring and logging the energy used in concentrating solar cookers. For this purpose the direct portion of the insolation received by the aperture area of the cooker is measured in units of kWh and stored every 30 seconds in a non volatile flash memory. The energy meter is fixed to the concentrating cooker normal to the aperture area. The optics of the energy meter is adapted in such a form, that the acceptance angle of the cooker is taken in account. Taking into account optical efficiency and aperture area, this allows for the first time quantifying at a good degree the CO2 savings and acceptance of solar cookers at relatively low costs. A data read out is required only one time per year. In CDM projects this measurement method allows an exact payoff to the solar cooker, corresponding to his real CO2 savings. Financed by a SEPS Project by the Wuppertal Institute, a first field test was started in 2007 with 50 energy meters installed in the Argentine Altiplano by the Fundation EcoAndina. The CO2 savings of all users are summed up and the total amount of CO2 reduction is offered at the global certificate market. As high standards are kept regarding sustainable development, the certificates can be sold at the price of gold standard. The first results have shown that solar cookers in real life can save up to 3 kWh/m² every day. In regions with little income, this mechanism can create an additional value of about 20 Euros per year and cooker, helping in financing the cooker over years and so helping in diffusion. 49
