Surat’s Emission Trading Scheme to Be Replicated in Ahmedabad: CM Rupani
The Indian Express reports on the Chief Minister of Gujarat speaking about extending the emissions trading scheme to the city of Ahmedabad. The paper had earlier reported about the scheme, where 155 industrial units in Surat engaged in trading of particulate matter.
Launched in 2019, the world’s first emission trading scheme has helped reduce air pollution in Surat by 20 per cent, said Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Friday. This scheme will now be replicated in Ahmedabad.
Virtually launching “India’s first Fenton Catalytic Reactor” project that has the ability to treat 30 MLD (million litres per day) of industrial effluents emanating from Vatva GIDC in Ahmedabad, Rupani said, “The world’s first emission trading scheme in Surat has successfully eliminated 20 per cent of air pollutants in the city.”
