M. Tech Thesis: Studies of Green House Gas Emissions from Hydropower Reservoirs
Now a day’s GHG emissions from the hydropower reservoirs is a global issue because it causes global warming.
No data is available on the emissions and the factors affecting the emissions on hydropower reservoirs, so the
baseline is required to be created of 154 reservoirs. To study of impact of reservoir parameters on the GHG
emissions, linear equations as well as multiple equations have developed with the help of Minitab Software. So
these equations are also not applicable for the prediction of GHG emissions from reservoirs because of R2
is less
than 0.90. The data analysis has indicated high uncertainty in water bodies due to the interferences of different
pollutant and high variability in the aquatic environment. Total carbon (3.86 gyear-1
×109
) and 40 g CO2 Eq. /MWh
are compare with other temperate reservoirs and it is found that there Carbon emissions in the Tehri reservoir are
less than the other reservoirs even located in the same eco-region, so it is a positive sign of the reservoir.
