Industrial units inNarolwill be subjected to a new emission cap. After the implementation of the first Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) for Surat industrial cluster, the has now begun work on educating the Narol industrial cluster owners on the new emission-cap rules to curb particulate matter 2.5 microns (PM 2.5).
UnderETS-Particulate Matter(PM), a select group of industries in Narol will be allotted permits or caps by GPCB for PM emissions in terms of kilograms in a year. The industrial units will use the national commodity exchange trading platform to settle their allotted emissions permit balance. This way, industries emitting lower than their annual cap can sell their trading units for a price while those emitting higher than the cap shall have to buy these units. This will incentivize reducing emissions for industries.
