Haryana Government has decided to setup a Carbon Credit Cell, which would guide the local entrepreneurs to adopt the relevant technology to earn carbon credits.
While starting this here today, a spokesman of Haryana Industries and Commerce Department said a pilot project for development of Eco-City at a few brown-field locations was being taken up on pilot basis within the Manesar-Bawal Investment Region of Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) by a consortium of Japanese companies.
The Government aims to encourage Environment Management by rational use of resources, environment audit and taking measures to reduce pollution load, waste recovery, recycling and waste recharge besides focusing on adoption of clean process technology.
The Government also intended to gain carbon credits and reduce carbon footprints in the industrial sectors. It would provide greater opportunity to the people willing to take the benefit of green business like carbon credit earning.
The official added, at conservation and efficient management of water resources has been declared as the focus area and priority of the Government.
The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) would lay dual pipelines for supply of fresh and treated water so as to target a situation of zero discharge from its specific industrial sectors within a reasonable time-frame.
