Gas hydrates: An inexhaustible energy source
The Hindu Business Line reports that India is sitting on prognosticated gas hydrate resources of 1,894 trillion cubic metres, which is over 1,700 times as much as the proven natural gas reserves with the country — of 1.08 trillion cubic metres.
To put the resource into perspective, India consumes 90 million standard cubic metres a day of natural gas. If the estimate of prognosticated gas hydrate reserves holds true, the energy source is infinite and can last several tens of thousands of years.
So, what the hell is a Gas Hydrate. Wikipedia has a definition of something called a Methane Caltrate, which is another name for the same thing.
The estimates for worldwide size of the Gas Hydrate deposit is in the range of 500-2500 gigatonnes carbon (Gt C). This was before this Indian announcement.
So, why are we not tapping this already. The Hindu Business Line hints at this in their article – “Nowhere in the world does the technology (for extracting gas out of hydrates) exist,” says Mr V. K. Sibal, Director General Hydrocarbons (DGH). “But we are confident of developing the technology.”
BMW – 2007 Dow Jones Sustainability Report
Enclosed is the 2007 Corporate Sustainability Report for BMW. This report gives a great idea of how Dow Jones calculates Sustainability.
While you may or may not agree with this report and its methodology, it is a great indicator of how companies are making changes to “look” better or “be” better

US EPA – Climate Leaders now upto 196 companies
The US EPA has a Climate Leaders Program which companies can join as partners. Each company then sets their Green House Goal or GHG. Todate, there are 196 companies in the program and the entire list with their GHG Goals are listed below.
If you believe that the EPA is ….ahem…., the right stalwart of this program, do go ahead and read the list and share your views. The GHG goals companies have set themselves range from the pretty modest (see Abbott) to the fairly aggressive (See some of the companies aiming for net zero GHG). Of course, a majority of the companies below have yet to list their GHG goals.
We can only hope these are not just “logo” initiatives, as in stick the Climate Leaders logo on your PR material, set a “goal” to reduce GHG by 2% and then thump your chest with pride.
The program guidelines are at this link
