Page values for "Cleaner Technologies and Circular Economy Principles in India"

Here are some potential solutions to address the greenhouse gas emission problems in India:

Energy sector: Increase the share of renewable energy sources in the electricity mix, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Improve energy efficiency and conservation measures in industries, buildings, and transportation. Encourage the use of public transportation and non-motorized transport options like bicycles and walking. Implement carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants.

Agriculture: Promote the use of sustainable agricultural practices like conservation agriculture, crop rotation, and intercropping. Develop and encourage the use of more efficient and less polluting livestock management practices, such as feeding supplements and biogas digesters. Develop and promote the use of rice varieties that produce less methane.

Industrial processes: Encourage the use of cleaner and more efficient technologies in industrial production, such as energy-efficient equipment, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and alternative fuels. Implement circular economy principles, such as reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling. Encourage companies to adopt voluntary emission reduction targets and report their progress regularly.

Waste: Promote waste reduction at the source, such as by encouraging the use of reusable containers and promoting composting. Develop and implement more efficient and less polluting waste management practices, such as waste-to-energy technologies, biogas production from organic waste, and recycling. Encourage the use of extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, which require producers to take back and recycle their products at the end of their useful life.
