This report evaluates emission mitigation options to achieve net-zero carbon emissions through marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves for the existing plants in the fertiliser industry. MAC curves were developed
In a nod to rising public expectations, China's government work plan for 2010, rolled out last week at the country's two major annual political powwows, puts the environment front and center. At the National People's Congress, officials announced that science priorities include new energy sources, energy conservation, environmental protection, and marine technology.
CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are the primary cause of global warming. Much attention has been focused on the CO2 directly emitted by each country, but relatively little attention has been paid to the amount of emissions associated with the consumption of goods and services in each country.

China and India have committed to reductions in the emissions intensity of the economy by 40-45% & 20-25% respectively between 2005 and 2020. This analysis looks at how feasible are the proposed reductions in emissions intensity for China and India, and how do they compare with the targeted reductions in the US and the EU.
Carbon emissions from industry are dominated by production of goods in steel, cement, plastic, paper, and aluminum. Demand for these materials is anticipated to double at least by 2050, by which time global carbon emissions must be reduced by at least 50%.
The UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has published a report titled "Regional Analysis for Policy Reforms to Promote Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Investments." The report provides recommendations to develop and implement policy reforms supporting market formation and fostering a favorable climate for investments in the sectors of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
THE Japanese government reiterated its commitment to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) last week. This is welcome. It should accelerate industrial activity along the 1,500-km corridor.
The new CSE study of the six most emissions intensive sectors to determine India
India is in a unique predicament; it has a stake in both preventing climate change and avoiding costly mitigation. The Indraprastha Thermal Power Station in New Delhi. About one-fourth of the air pollution in Delhi is caused by industries and coal-based thermal power plants, according to the Union Ministry of Environment.
Choosing a low-carbon path, as the government seems to be committing itself to at the negotiations, will impose huge costs on India.
