Kochi Metro assigns consultant for carbon emission reductions

Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has assigned CDM Smith, a US-based company that provides integrated solutions in environment, energy and transportation, to carry out a detailed survey for the forecast of reduction of carbon emission along the metro alignment from the year 2018 to 2048.

The study would give an idea about the probable reduction in the daily use of vehicles due to commencing of metro and how much pollution would come down as a result of this. 

This will help KMRL in earning carbon credits. The scope of work includes study about multimodal integrated approach with buses, boats, auto rick-shaws etc and about integrated ticketing linked with metro development.
