About the  Fest :

Techkriti is a celebration of that fusion – where the beauty of form is merged with inspiring ingenious innovations. It is about creation that moves beyonf barriers. Techkriti has always been synonymous with excellence. Graced with the presence of “Nobel” minds, inspiring inventors and young mettle competing to dazzle, Techkriti has been the stuff that dreams are made of.

This year we go a step further and combine a flavor of business with the festival. We strive to have a fine balance between the world of science and the real world where we live our day-in day-out lives.

Techkriti is about ideas that inspire. For those who wish to know of what use is a new idea, Faraday’s answer is most apt – “Of what use is an new born baby?”

Techkriti is about attenuating surly bonds of our mundane existence and going a step further. Over the years, the festival has witnessed the very best come forward and showcase their talent.

Organizer: IIT Kharagpur

Nature of Event : Case Study Competition

Last date of Submission : 30th November, 2009

Website:http://www.ecell-iitkgp.org/competitions/pensez/

Details:

Pensez 2009 is the annual Case Study Competition organised by the Entrepreneurship Cell. The problem statements are designed to inculcate an innovative strategy of analysing phenomena relating to entrepreneurship in general. It includes Sociological, Industrial and Technological aspects designed to focus on certain trends and issues in entrepreneurial spheres.

Problem Statement:

Innovative Carbon Financing for clean development at the BoP

The Clean Development Mechanisms (CDMs) allow industrialized countries with Greenhouse gases reduction commitments (called Annex 1 countries) to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries. Such projects must establish that the additional incentives, provided by emission reductions credits, are needed for the projects.

However, Selco (Solar Electric Light Company), a prominent social venture providing sustainable energy solutions to rural India, has found it unfeasible to harness any benefits from CDM. Since the company deals with selling lighting to poor households that do not emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases, the process of selling savings on carbon emissions through the Kyoto Protocol’s CDM becomes too expensive and time-consuming for them.

Hence, the Clean Development Mechanism has failed to assist CleanTech enterprises in bringing sustainable solutions to the Base of the Pyramid, and deters inclusive development in countries like India.

Propose an alternative Carbon Financing model that effectively encourages innovations for sustainable development of the masses and takes into account their potential impact. Also, evaluate its feasibility in the Indian context.
