The study is an attempt to identify if more industrial manufacturing units could be added to the existing list of sectors leading to PAT 'deepening'. This study aimed to explore the possibility of deepening the scope of energy savings by introducing more industrial units into PAT from within the existing cement, fertilizer, iron and steel, textile, pulp and paper and Chlor-Alkali sectors. It concludes that there are a large number of small-scale units which do not fall under the PAT criteria of notifying as DC.

Submitted by abhinav@cstep.in on Thu, 01/17/2019 - 01:14

In December 2015, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified emission standards for limiting sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and mercury emissions in coal-based thermal power plants. As of December 2017 (the deadline for meeting these standards), compliance was poor. Further, other government departments under the Ministry of Power (MoP) are mulling over a delay in implementation of these standards. In this context, this study evaluated the benefits and costs associated with the implementation of these emission standards.
