The project of Energizer Resources, it is named as the Molo Graphite Project, or simply ' the Molo ' . Part of the thousand square kilometre Green Giant Graphite Project in the south of the country, the Molo deposit is thought to contain between 80 and 120 million tonnes of high-quality, all-flake graphite that is used in refractories, batteries and consumer electronics, making it one of the largest such deposits in the world.

Keywords: Seven Priorities, Global Energy Governance.
Abstract: The risks and challenges to the energy landscape are effectively illustrated by the WEC ' s 2015 World Energy Issues Monitor. It shows that energy leaders from over 80 countries remain concerned about energy and commodity price volatility and climate framework uncertainty. They also fear market distortions through stop-and-go energy subsidies and trade barriers as well as outdated market design.

Subject: Electrical India.
Keywords: Electrification, High Rise Buildings
Abstract: The requirements of the planning and execution of electrical works of an ordinary building having ground plus one or two floors housing are quite different from those of a multistoried or high rise building. A building is classified as ' High Rise ' , if it has more than Four floors (Ground + 3 Floors) or height more than 15 meters. It can be regarded as a miniature township requiring entire range of civic services such as electric power from the electricity board, standby/emergency power from diesel generator, water supplies for various applications, fire fighting system, elevator services, sanitation, recreation facilities, swimming pool, lighting for apartments as well as common areas etc.

Keywords: Energy Conservation
Abstract: Energy conservation is nothing but a strategic use of energy in order to reduce the energy requirements per unit output. Energy conservation in domestic sector is a good point to start as about 20 to 30 % of the total energy generated is utilized for domestic purpose, which is a considerable share.

Title: Data Communication Protocols (In Building Automation Systems-An Overview)
Author: Aneesh Kadyan

Publisher: Mahadevan Iyer
Source: Centre for Ecological Sciences
Reference: Electrical India, vol.55 (9), 30-31 (2015)
Subject: Electrical India.
Keywords: Data, Communication, Protocols, Automation Systems
Abstract: Building Automation Systems (BASs) Provide means to control as well as monitor various operational aspects of buildings. Activities that typically require human interface such as data logging, equipment health monitoring, data analysis etc. can be automated by a BAS system to reduce human error-as well as enhance efficiency and accuracy of data. With the cost of manpower increasing, and the need to operate and manage buildings at the lowest possible cost, BASs are finding their ways in more and more building designs. A BAS while costing more at the build stage helps lower operating costs for the owners and the playback periods for the Capex are in the range of 2 to 4 years.

Abstract: In this book, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of India ' s current energy shortage, its reasons and concerns, visible in events such as the great grid failure of 2012.In doing so; the author makes clear that India ' s thirst of energy is growing fast and its domestic production is unlikely to keep pace with the growth in demand. In short term, though, India will have to increase its imports and suffer through unending power shortages. According to him, the lack of domestic resources, relative to India ' s population and poor governance are the key factors responsible for the continued problem.

Title: The Future of Renewables: An Appraisal of Feed-in-Tariffs and Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Subject: Village Level Actors in Sustainable Forest Management: A Study in Madhya Pradesh
Keywords: None
Abstract: In recent years, a strong interest in renewable energy and supporting policies has burgeoned. The most popular of these are Renewable Portfolio Standards and by an entire country such as feed-in-Tariffs in Germany and Japan and/or could be state-specific within a country. This article studies the existing literature to understand the theoretical and normative workings of both policies and argues that while both policies together and/or separately have proven pros and cons, the future of renewables must depend on case-specific factors. One size usually does not fit all, certainly not when determining a renewable future. While a basic policy may be determined, the nuances have to be localized depending on a country and state ' s tax structure, renewable energy availability and other such factors.

Abstract: Researchers on global water scarcity analysis concluded that a large share of the world population-nearly two-thirds-will be affected by water scarcity over the next several decades (Shiklomanov 1991; Raskin et al. 1997; Alcamo et al. 1997; Seckler et al.2003; Vorosmarty et al.2000; Wallace 2000; Wallace and Gregory 2002). The most obvious conclusion from these analyses is that water will be scare in areas with low rainfall and relatively high population density. Many countries in the arid areas of the world, particularly Central and West Asia and North Africa, are already close to, or below the 1,000 m3/capita/year threshold and therefore, this is the part of the world that is most definitely water scarce. The intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPCC [2007]) points out that water impacts due to climate change are key for all sectors and regions, resulting in decreasing water availability and increased drought in mid-and low-latitudes exposing hundreds and millions of people to increased water stress.
