Description ABSTRACT
The present study inventory and estimation of greenhouse gases from industries in Baddi
Barotiwala Nalagarh (BBN) region (30o94’ to 31o05’ N latitude and 76o77’ to 76o8’ E longitude) of
district Solan of Himachal Pradesh was carried out during 2009-2011. The inventorization was carried
out using revised IPCC 1996 and IPCC 2006 guidelines for National greenhouse gas inventory. The
study involved three emission sources viz. mineral, metal and other industries. The mineral industry
comprised three (3) cement and one (1) glass unit; metal represented a total of sixteen (16) industries
among which eleven (11) were iron and steel producing, two (2) ferroalloy and three (3) aluminium.
Other industries comprised four (4) pulp and paper, twenty five (25) food and five (5) beverage. A total
of 54 industries were selected. The GHG’s inventorized were CO2, CH4, N2O, CO and NMVOC’s. The
emissions of different GHG’s were estimated by multiplying the amount of activity or production of
finished product from a particular industry within a given sector i.e. mineral, metal and other industries
with the emission factor associated with the respective gas released per unit of activity in above sectors.
The results have revealed that varying amount of different greenhouse gases viz. CO2, CH4,
N2O including CO and NMVOC’s were released from the region. 2642 Gg CO2, 0.17 Gg N2O (52.7 Gg
CO2 eq.), 7.35 Gg NMVOC’s (27.2 Gg CO2 eq.), 1.09 Gg CO (3.27 Gg CO2 eq.) and 0.06 Gg CH4
(1.26 Gg CO2 eq.) was released during the year 2010. An amount of 2726 Gg CO2 eq. was released as
process emission, whereas 2.054 Gg CO2 was released as fuel emissions. CH4, N2O, CO and
NMVOC’s emission from fuel combustion were negligible. A total of 2728.054 Gg CO2 eq. were
emitted from the region. CO2 was the main industrial GHG released followed by NMVOC’s, CO, N2O
and CH4.
The increasing accumulation of above GHG’s in the atmosphere will have adverse impacts on
regional climate. Hence, following management strategies are suggested to mitigate the adverse
influences: undertaking new technological improvements, cogeneration systems, raising plantations for
CO2 sequestration, CO2 capture or implementing CO2 scrubbing techniques, replacing high carbon
fuels with low carbon fuels, fuel and energy efficiency and development of CDM like opportunities at
local level which will help in achieving carbon neutral development of the region.
