Over 400 industries reduced CO2 emissions by 2% between 2012-15

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) today said over 400 industries monitored by it have reduced their CO2 emissions by 31 million tonnes (MT) - about 2 per cent of annual CO2 emissions - between 2012-15. "Over 400 industries reduced their emissions by 31 million tonnes of CO2, approximately 2 per cent of annual CO2 emissions, during the first implementation cycle of Perform, Achieve & Trade Scheme (PAT) by BEE between 2012 and 2015," a BEE statement said. According to the statement, the first cycle of PAT (2012 -15) covered 478 Designated industries (DCs) from 8 energy- intensive sectors - aluminium, cement, chlor-alkali, fertiliser, iron and steel, pulp and paper, textiles and thermal power plant. Together, these sectors account for about 33 per cent of Indias primary energy consumption. BEE said the scheme resulted in saving of energy equivalent to 8.67 MT of oil, exceeding the target of 6.86 MT by about 30 per cent. This also resulted in avoided generation of about
