The Clean Development Mechanism in the Indian Steel industry

摘要

India is planning to quadruple its crude steel production to 200Mt/y by 2020 based on adaptation of clean techologies, and to world technology standards. As a result, energy consumption will reduce and environmental emissions of dust, CO_2 and NO_x will be significantly curtailed. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) benefits are not availed to the extent it should be in India due to ignorance of project registration procedure and in depth knowledge of project cycle. This article describes Kyoto Protocol, its importance and CDM project cycle in a simple way, by which Indian steel industries can avail benefits to a great extent.
