: Climate change politics has always been contentious because of its direct link with economic growth. The Kyoto Protocol that had set a meagre target of reducing emissions from developed countries is all set to be jettisoned because these countries have failed to reduce their emissions and find this protocol
Environmental clearance (EC) is likely to pave the way for revival of the defunct Ashok Paper Mill. An application to the effect submitted by Assam Government is pending with the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF). Government of Assam has submitted the draft terms of reference along with Techno-economic Feasibility …
The last two years have seen a flurry of reports that have projected the long-term greenhouse gas emissions trajectory of India, and how the country can go low-carbon and help solve the climate change crisis. Most of these reports have talked about the huge emissions-saving potential in all sectors of …
In first phase, nine sectors identified to improve efficiency. Towards efficiency On the lines of emissions trading, the new scheme aims at maximising energy savings nationally in the most cost-effective manner. Those managing to better their targets will be allowed to sell energy saving credits to those failing to achieve …
This study by Centre for Science and Environment of the six most energy-and emissions-intensive sectors of Indian industry shows that low carbon growth is a real challenge after 2020, possibly an illusion by 2030-31.

What is the shape our climate-challenged world is in? Rich developed countries have made it clear they are not interested in any talk about their past emissions. They point to emissions emerging economies such as India and China will spew in the future. That, they say, is the real problem. …
This sector has a very high energy-saving potential vis-a-vis best available techniques. However, there is limitation to realise this saving potential because of the process route chosen to make steel and because the plants use coking and non-coking coal with high-ash content and iron ore with high silica and alumina …
The Indian paper industry performs poorly with respect to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The study indicates an energy-saving potential of nearly 70 per cent. This sector is a very good example of the fact that there can exist limits to mitigation. The sector will always lag behind global …
Most growth projections of Indian economy predict that India will grow at 8 per cent annually in next two decades. Accordingly, the six sectors will grow distinctly but in robust way. Steel production will increase from 58 million metric tonnes (mMT) in 2008-09 to about 302 mMT in 2030-31. The …
Business as usual The total ghg emissions from the six sectors will be 3.6 times more than today, growing from 897 million MT (mMT) in 2008-09 to 3,255 mMT in 2030-31. The per capita emissions from these sectors will increase from 0.8 MT in 2008-09 to 2.2 MT in 2030-31. …
Cutting emissions beyond 2020 is tough; land and water needs will create social turmoil The last two years have seen a flurry of reports projecting India
NEW DELHI: Once the low-hanging fruit of energy efficiency technologies has been plucked in order to meet India's 2020 commitment to reduce emissions intensity, the country will find it difficult and expensive to reduce any further, according to a study by the Centre for Science and Environment. In January, India …
The Centre for nd Environment's Science and Environment's (CSE) landmark study on the cost and feasibility of emissions reduction to combat climate change believes steel will prove to be the problem sector for India. The study looks at six emission intensive sectors including power, aluminum, steel, cement, fertilizers and the …
Water usage to rise 3 times by 2030, land need to soar. While Indian industry is well on course to meet the emission-intensity reduction targets that the government has set for 2020, according to a study of the top six emitting industries by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), …
Core sector needs $300-billion investment to cut emission intensity New Delhi: Indian industry can meet the 2020 emission intensity reduction target but finds it difficult and costly, says a new report. The government has voluntarily committed to cut emission intensity of the GDP by 20-25% by 2020 on a baseline …
Can India meet the emissions target set by government for 2020? What are the implications for a climate constrained future? CSE releases landmark study on how India will reduce emissions to combat climate change. Study on 6 sectors which together contribute over 60 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions. Analysis …
It took 10 years for the pollution load of industry to double, and then it took just three more years for this to rise by 50 per cent Sunil K Sinha / April 6, 2010, 0:30 IST An important outcome of the economic liberalisation and changes in industrial policy initiated …
The utilization of the post consumer paper product in the production of new paper products is increasing all over the world in recent years. The use of enzymes in ecofriendly deinking of the recovered paper is one of the potential enzymatic application in the pulp and paper industry.
