1. National Green Highways Mission focuses on developing green corridors along highways through plantations, which helps in carbon sequestration, reducing air pollution, and improving aesthetics.
2. R & D for Clean Coal Technologies aims to mitigate the environmental impact of coal-based power generation, which is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, by developing technologies like carbon capture and storage, and efficient combustion methods. This is a green initiative focused on reducing the environmental footprint of a major energy source.
3. National Green Corridor Programme (or Green Energy Corridor) facilitates the transmission of renewable energy (like solar and wind power) from generation rich areas to load centres, enabling greater integration of clean energy into the grid.
