About "Reducing Carbon Footprint in India" topic:

Reduction of carbon emissions from our current energy system is arguably the biggest challenge that we face in managing climate change. Methods to reduce the climate risk from carbon-based energy will dominate energy system development and deployment for the next several decades. Lets discuss here the various aspects related to Reducing Carbon Footprint in India...

While Global Warming might be real it might not be necessarily `man made`.Searching with the keywords `global warming hoax` on Google or Youtube gives a different and fuller picture it seems.
Srinivasan Ananthanarayanan  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Due to hige level of carbon emmission, the world's temperature has drastically changed, This is affecting not only the developed coumtries but also the developing and uder developed countries. Natural calamities are occuring frequently causing...

anup bagla  |  Supported idea  "Educate the people"  |  2 years ago

D.P.Chirania  |  Added idea  "Educate the people"  |  2 years ago
The people, i.e. the persons interested n Carbon Trading are not fully educated on the system, such as the project formation and the prior approval of the project. I have practically seen the ignorance of the management of a power sector on this...

1 Agricultural sector
2 SEZ and IT Parks (Real Estate)
Satish Kumar  |  Added idea  "SEZ and IT Parks (Real Estate)"  |  2 years ago
Already some of the IT Parks, Commercial mall received the CER approval 2-3 years back. Till today none of the SEZ have not apply for CDM but they plan in the correct manner with the business unsual, definately they will get it.
Dayanand Deshpande  |  Added idea  "Agricultural sector"  |  2 years ago
I think agriculture sector will be the best to implement CDM. And even as agriculture is a big sector in India, we can easily reduce the carbon emission effectively if CDM is effectively implemented. Energy efficiency improvements or switching to...
Gajanan Bajirao Shelar  |  Supported idea  "Agricultural sector"  |  2 years ago
Dear Sir, I totally agree. India being an agricultural country we have a wast opportunity in this field.However we need to have the ideas which could be easily understood by a common man.Also India is backed up with lot of intellectuals who can...

The swift response to a similar announcement by the Chinese, is meant to save the country from being seen as the deal breaker in the coming green gabfest at Copenhagen over climate change. The battle for scoring PR points at the climate change talks has been joined in right earnest. On Friday, India dramtically announced that it could consider voluntarily reducing its carbon intensity by 20-25% on a purely domestic level. This represents a big leap on the measures announced so far by the government to cut emissions, and will extend to the entire economy rather than be restricted to specific sectors as is the case now. Environment minister Jairam Ramesh, in Beijing for a meeting of key emerg...

A step taken in the right direction, but still a mile to go if we don't want to blow our planet. Now the onus is on the developed world.
Kunal Das  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
I don't understand why this type of vital decision takes so much time to be approved. I hope our goverment will not take another few years to implement it.

  The D.light Rural Lighting Project involves the introduction of solar lighting systems to rural Indian households. The solar lighting systems consist of one LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp with a rechargeable battery and one photo voltaic module. LED lamps use a light emitting diode which is a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electrical current is applied. LEDs are ideal for rural lighting purposes due to their efficiency, long life time, ruggedness and low maintenance costs associated.1 Photovoltaic (PV) modules consist of solar cells which can convert sunlight directly into electricity. PV modules are very useful to power electric devices like the lamps for this Project in r...

Yes, definitely India is moving in the right direction to cut down the carbon emissions. We can see that many projects coming up in India with this motive.

Padmaja Baskar  |  Supported idea  "some small points "  |  2 years ago
Mudit good and valuable points. People should realize and stop wasting the fuels. Thanks for sharing your thoughts......
Padmaja Baskar  |  Supported idea  "Recycling carbon emmissions"  |  2 years ago
Gene amazing idea. Since carbon is emitted more everyone is concerned of controlling it but instead we can recycle it use it for some other purpose. So the government should come up with good projects to recycle the carbon emitted. I think this...
Santosh Ramchandra Karlekar  |  Supported idea  "Introduce solar energy application centers more and more"  |  2 years ago

The Copenhagen summit is the world's last chance to save the planet from 'catastrophic' global warming, according to a major study led by Lord Stern of Brentford, the country's leading authority on climate change. Without an international agreement to limit global warming, temperatures are likely to rise by 9F (5C) by the end of the century - triggering mass migration, warfare and world hunger, according to the report. But Lord Stern, who produced the report together with the London School of Economics and other leading academics, said it was still possible for the world to keep the temperature rise below 3.6F (2C) - but only if world leaders agree to cut global emissions at next week's UN ...

In today's news, I came across this article that scientists at Sandia National Labs who were seeking a means to create cheap and abundant hydrogen to power a hydrogen economy, realized they could use the same technology to "reverse-combust" CO2 back into fuel. They still have to improve the efficiency of the system, but they recently demonstrated a working prototype of their "Sunshine to Petrol" converting waste CO2 to carbon monoxide, and then syngas, consuming nothing but solar energy. The device, boasting the simple title Counter-Rotating-Ring Receiver Reactor Recuperator (CR5) sets off a thermo-chemical reaction by exposing an iron-rich composite to concentrated solar heat. The composite sheds an oxygen molecule when heated and gets one back as it cools, and therein lies the fuel. The cylindrical metal CR5 is divided into hot and cold chambers. Solar energy heats the hot chamber to a scorching 2,700 degrees, which forces the iron oxide composite to lose oxygen atoms. The...

Integrity of any political party and its worthiness is judged from the way they conduct themselves in the Parliament and make themselves worthy to the people who elected them.   Democracy is strangled when elected representatives, ignore the needs and aspirations of the people whom they represent. Democracy is strangled, when the political parties stoop down to use the communal feeling of one group against other to come to power and compelled to oppress other communities to appease its supporters. Democracy is strangled, when ‘Playing dirty Politics’ become the main business and theme of the Government and Political parties that support and oppose the government. "The Bitter Pills for India Reprieve" I wrote this in this community in  toosteps.com few years back. The article is available in the following link in www.wordpress.com   http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-5I
