The August 26 article reported that the Department of Energy has implemented the rule of bio-fuel, which is mandatory usage of coconut methyl for gasoline in the car for more than 2 percents. It is enacted on October 2008 and, by February 2009, to be full implementation. Is it really possible? ASEAN countries, are watching closely for breath. In Indonesia, oil production is beginning to decline. According September 28 article, Indonesia’s ministerial order of the Department of Energy has implemented the rule that a 5 percents of bio-fuel should be used for fuel of power plants and so on. The full scale of the mandatory rule shall be effective from January 2009.
The Philippines’ senate passed the Renewable Energy Bill. This might come from ASEAN agreement. In the Senate, Senators Edgardo J. Angara and Juan Miguel Zubiri is the heart for the bill. They are saying, within five years, the market will be 10 billion dollars scale. Oil saving may reach to 36 billion pesos.
NEDO has been describing that, in the end of January, the 15th ASEAN Summit held in Cebu has agreed on "Energy Security in East Asia Declaration (Alternative Energy Agreement)". The Philippines suggested , at that time, four points for energy; efficiency of fossil fuel, hydro and other renewable, bio-fuels and the globalization of markets.
I believe that the Philippines is in a dilemma, I think. The nationals are complaining the most expensive electricity prices in neighboring countries, but as a country poor in natural resources, high electricity prices will require the development of renewable energy, namely, using domestic resource as much as possible. I have confidence in the international market, while imports of coal and coal-fired by the expansion of the electricity, at least, for 10 years.

India's fight against global warming
On today's topic, I do not know about the field, but it is too exaggerated to Items, which is saying , in India, to solve the power shortage with this, and so I tried to read it. It was India's Mumbai and a challenge to the Green Building, and another the northern Indian hill state of Himachal Pradesh state government is a challenge to renewable energy.
Regarding India's challenge for human beings to global warming, it is substantial how to curb coal-fired and go. I think the most important recently, the Japanese Government and JICA is working for the efficiency of India's power sector. Even though a green building and renewable energy is small for earth, it is in India to boost people's awareness, mobilize a force.
Green Building, is currently in India, the land area of only 20,000 square feet, which by 2012 expanded to a billion square feet, he said. Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has the idea. From the building structure itself, the use of solar and rainwater has been considered, compared to the usual construction, 40 to 50 percent of the amount of electricity used is to be saved. Building demand is 20 percent of the total electricity demand.
I do not want to be said by India people, but I am concern what's going on in Japan. I check up but there is no significant move. Of course, I have to expect, perhaps, big power companies would be interested, and they are going to study. In the United States, in July 1994, the National Green Building Association (US Green Building Council) is established, building industry, of course, electricity and gas companies, financial, real estate, local governments, universities, environmental groups, general manufacturing, manufacturers, etc. Participation in the industry beyond the framework of the activities, he said.
I, as in Bangkok and Jakarta's demand for electricity to a historic move, consider the following. After a high level of economic growth, the day peak is higher than the evening peak. This is why the economic growth of the city's major building companies has been increasing rapidly, especially with increased demand for air conditioning. So, make sure the morning at nine, air-conditioning turned on, most turn off at five o'clock that evening, eight hours of peak demand the ultimate form of it.
So, for example, such as Thailand, Laos to see the current situation of the hydraulic load to 15 hours of daytime driving and has asked for, but it should converge on the peak eight hours. So, for example, a 15-hour Nam Theun 2 hydropower is now 1,000 MW, and in the near future, be sure to 2,000 MW and the need to expand. From this perspective, green building, have a major impact on electricity demand.
Today, more of the Green Building, Himachal Pradesh state's efforts to develop renewable energy, and it will be held tomorrow from a Nepali and Indian Water Resources Committee in Kathmandu. Nepal's water resources can solve the problem by constructing the height of the dam, Pancheshwor the 315m, Kosi High dam 269m. They are very large-scale plans for the dam and power plant. Runoff and sediment from the Himalayas, flood protection downstream, considering the need of this magnitude, but the financing and construction period, considering the mind-boggling.

Indonesia's bio-fuel
Indonesia fell down from colleagues of oil-producing countries and it was quite a shock for Indonesian. Even in the National Assembly, the tops of related companies were summoned and asked whether to really go down crude oil production. For the mandatory use of biofuels, the Philippines recently made legislation. But, at that time, ASEAN countries said in a calm, watching the Philippines how going it's mandatory of biofuels.
However, Indonesia was unable to stand with fears, and Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has implemented the mandatory registration as a ministerial ordinance of 2008, from October 1 as fuel to generate a certain amount of mandatory biofuels incorporation, and attempts, 2009 From January 1, said bio-mass and the incorporation of 5% duty due to go into full operation. In particular, cassava, sugarcane and sweet sorghum for bioethanol can take from the current 192,349-kilo-liter, but in 2010, it is target significantly to increase to four-million-kilo-litters.
The total amount of the current world production, according to sound information and materials, at the end of 2005, is 3,650 million kilo liter of bioethanol. Bioethanol is the mainstream in the future, and the United States, Brazil's production of two prominent countries, followed by EU, China, India, and the amount of production is expanding. The production of bioethanol is for blending with gasoline directly. Some states in the United States and Brazil, the ratio of mixing is made mandatory.
Mr.Suzuki Takamura, as also I introduced before. His macro figures are into easy-to-head. "The current arable land in developing countries untapped has potential of l 2,054 million ha, and farmland will be developed as a 1,059 million ha, with the rest of the rotation 995 million ha for the forest bio-methanol (methanol is not bioethanol), equivalent to oil in 5.8 billion tons. ", He said. "The total demand for 2100 will be 11,2 billion tons, and 6.0 billion tons from hydropower and nuclear, 5.2 billion tons by bio-methanol."
I think Mr.Suzuki denies the bioethanol from cassava, sugarcane and sweet sorghum as in Indonesia. He is saying biomethanol from plantation in the wasteland. I argued, biofuels is unable to be major alternative fuel. Global energy use in terms of collecting a major fuel around the earth may violate the land of the world. Fuel oil from the bio-economy in the process of producing more carbon dioxide emissions, a study says. It may be just enough to make a feint to crud oil prices.
Another,
India has the subject of heavy electric machinery makers. Mr.Ramesh, India's minister of state flew from Kathmandu to Kolkata to make big one point. NTPC and BHEL in both the Corporation was promoting 5,000MW project. Ramesh has pushed for private companies into the project with 51 percent of shares by force. Now it is good timing, the day before yesterday, in the U.S. House, U.S. India nuclear agreement was approved. The problem in Colkata involves Larsen & Toubro, who made a partnership with Toshiba in Japan. And, Toshiba bought Westinghouse for the nuclear strategy. Toshiba may eyeing India's nuclear. Heavy electric machinery industry in India is suddenly now in Heavy electric machinery industry in India is suddenly in the whirlwind.

Salween river dam development
My first see of the Salween River was on October 3, 2000, when we were going to Kohkan district, a special autonomous region, in the vicinity of the border between Myanmar and China. It was exposed on the road side. The river water looked dark as I have imagined. There was absolutely no dam in the basin; completely virgin river.
In the time of Thailand's economic development in the late 1980s, the Salween basin was a garden of Japanese consultant, and they were planning not only hydropower but introduction of its water into Bangkok. As Myanmar's military government increasingly isolated in the process, China's economy has been growing. The dam development was controlled by Chinese companies, most of the Japanese withdrawal. It is heard that the dams are proceeded in cooperation between China and Thailand.
Thailand's environmental experts are saying that China's current government should have to control the Chinese companies in the Myanmar. The experts say the Salween river should be developed with more comprehensive consideration in cooperation with upstream development plan in the territory of China. The problem in the Mekong River, is treated in an article yesterday.
In the downstream of the plan, Hutgyi and Tasang dams are being proceeded. The Hutgyi dam is relatively small and proceeded ahead of Tasang. The Tasang dam development project had 40% of share. But, the Myanmar government took over it and gave to Chinese companies. A a results, the Chinese group become a majority for the project. In today's article, the Wai Gyi dam project may be upstream of Tasang and near the border of China.
In the upper reaches of Salween in China territory , several dams of cascade are planned. In the past of Time magazine, it was argued that the plans of upstream and downstream should be cooperated. Also, it was said that the local government should consider the residents in the basin.
The Chinese new government, in an age of Premier Wen Jiabao, said about the development of the dam, quite negative. the purpose of the National understood that, while quite negative, And China will take the initiative if any international development organizations want to be built.

China and the Mekong Basin Conference
Just before writing this memo today, my friend introduced the paper by the University of Tokyo, the master's thesis, Kayo Oonishi, written in 2006, "China and the downstream of Mekong River countries upon The Politics of International River Basin. That is, of course, very academic, to me, and I can muck around strainer, but you would think, this digs deep into the Mekong River as a researchers, and I was surprised.
In an international river, if the upstream of the most powerful country in the region exists, it would leave the power to develop upstream, and say this is a theory. Compared with the history of the Middle East and Europe, compared to other, why China in the Mekong basin is very cooperative to other riparian countries? That is, in the downstream of Southeast Asian Nations and China, the deep ties with China, and the water resources and other economic conditions are under negotiation with each other, the paper said.
In today's article, the China Daily, the downstream countries of the Mekong are grateful, to say the article is posted. This was formally signed Flood water at the time of the meeting in Vientiane. In the flood season, from June 15 to October 15, the flow of materials would be provided by China to the Mekong River Commission Secretariat, this is what he said. It means the data provision had been already provided in 2006, as the paper is saying.
However, I feel a little different. I realize that, for the Chinese dam development in the upstream, the downstream countries often have the patience to be here. Indeed, many environmental groups are saying complain to the Chinese dams. However, the governments of, at least Myanmar, Laos and Thailand have never been saying a single word for complain, and the Mekong River Commission, who controlled by the downstream governments, never given any comments to the Chinese government.
In the early 1900’s, at that time, already, the Manwan dam in the upstream was built. However, the upstream was in the dark for the downstream countries. Now, we know the details of the dam projects at upstream. In 1991, it was the first time that Chinese delegation participated in the Mekong meeting in Luwang Prabang, Laos. Around 1998, I visited frequently in Yunnan Province. I asked to executive in Yunnan how the downstream contries are saying for Chinese dams in Lanxan river. They replied that the ASEAN countries have never saying the complain to China.
I believe an upstream dam is beneficial to the downstream, in theory. It supplies the amount of drought and controls the flood. But, in any case, the two sides should talk each other to operate the dam properly. If no thought is given to the downstream operations, the downstream countries have different effects. However, even if the downstream requests to operate the dam for downstream benefits, Chinese government may not say any request of the money, under the present situation.

India, 60,000MW hydropower by 2025
My "the four men who developed Asia", sat at Katmandu in Nepal, and told India's power. He is Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh. In the morning paper this morning, my one of four men, former Thai Prime Minister Samak was caught and sentenced to two years in prison.
Ramesh told 60,000 MW of hydro development. I heard something similar figure, and I could see a record of the past; on this September 21, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia told the 600,000MW nuclear development by 2050, not 2025.
Ramesh told in a very comprehensive and exhaustive way for 60,000MW by 2025. The point is, the current ratio of hydro-thermal power, is 25:75, and in 2025, with 40:60 to go in, it said. It is difficult work, but is a very ambitious plan. I understand that Ramesh is challenging to the mankind's last job, it is his declaration to humanbeings.
In the world of today, in order to protect the earth, India and China's coal-fired should curb them. However, hydropower development in India, is easy to say, but, to achieve it is essential to get international cooperation. If you are an expert in Japan, and if you have time to argue the CDM in domestic, you should go to the Himalayas.
A breakdown of the 60,000MW, what Ramesh said is, out of that, 50,000 MW of domestic resources, and 10,000 MW from the Bhutan. 50 percent of the domestic resources would come from abundant hydropower resources of the northeastern Arunachal Pradesh, and the rest of the state's mountainous Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir. Now, India imports 1,400MW from Bhutan. Further, new 1,100 MW of plan has emerged.

Financial closure for 2 mega plants this year Reliance Power

Ramesh told 60,000 MW of hydro development. I heard something similar figure, and I could see a record of the past; on this September 21, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia told the 600,000MW nuclear development by 2050, not 2025.
Ramesh told in a very comprehensive and exhaustive way for 60,000MW by 2025. The point is, the current ratio of hydro-thermal power, is 25:75, and in 2025, with 40:60 to go in, it said. It is difficult work, but is a very ambitious plan. I understand that Ramesh is challenging to the mankind's last job, it is his declaration to humanbeings.
In the world of today, in order to protect the earth, India and China's coal-fired should curb them. However, hydropower development in India, is easy to say, but, to achieve it is essential to get international cooperation. If you are an expert in Japan, and if you have time to argue the CDM in domestic, you should go to the Himalayas.
A breakdown of the 60,000MW, what Ramesh said is, out of that, 50,000 MW of domestic resources, and 10,000 MW from the Bhutan. 50 percent of the domestic resources would come from abundant hydropower resources of the northeastern Arunachal Pradesh, and the rest of the state's mountainous Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir. Now, India imports 1,400MW from Bhutan. Further, new 1,100 MW of plan has emerged.

China and India in a scramble for Nepal
Today, it is a tremendous flood of news. For the energy development of the Himalayan frontier, it is in the revelry. It was interesting for me. I gave early eyes, "the man who developed Asia", two of India's Ramesh and Prachanda. They direct clash with in Nepal, it has caused a lot of a whirlwind.
But, in today's series of articles, what caught my attention is the following points. Indian companies are in droves to develop hydropower in Nepal. However, banks of India raised the funds to be very cold. On the other hand, Chinese companies are rushing into Nepal with the government's general fund in cooperation. Then, the Indians are caught in the unspeakable frustratins.
Chinese companies, such as China National Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Corp., Or CMEC and Sinohydro Corp are getting the endorsement of official Bank of China and China Exim Bank credit for West Seti and the Marsiangri Development of hydropower on board. The Indian companies accessed to the country's Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank, but they have no interesting. They are looking for financing from the Bank of China. China's exactly the approach, targeting resources in Africa is the same way.
Ramesh of India gave speech at the opening ceremony of the summit, and it gave real India mind. "It is not a difficult task. However, the private capital market is unlikely to come up with the entire amount. You need public-private partnership and the government of Nepal must play its role. "The remote switch is in the hands of the Nepal government. If Nepal presses fast forward, India will go along with it. If Nepal presses pause, we will pause. But I hope Nepal doesn't press rewind.”
Still, India can not hide who is frustrated. Indian government official says. " Chinese competition in Nepal is overstated. It is partly due to nervousness and partly due to the reason that they are strong. As Nepal is in our immediate neighbourhood, we get jittery,”
