  • 1. REFINERIES in INDIA to Meet the Growing Demand of Petroleum
    1. REFINERIES IN INDIA To meet the growing demand of petroleum products, the refining capacity in the country has gradually increased over the years by setting up of new refineries in the country as well as by expanding the refining capacity of the existing refineries. As of April, 2009 there are a total of 20 refineries in the country comprising 17 (seventeen) in the Public Sector and 3 (three) in the Private Sector. The country is not only self sufficient in refining capacity for its domestic consumption but also exports petroleum products substantially. The total refining capacity in the country as on 1.10.2009 stands at 179.956 MMTPA. The company-wise location and capacity of the refineries as on 1.10.2009 is given in Table 1: Table 1 S.

  • This Section Represents the Highlights of Important Information About
    This section represents the highlights of important information about government initiatives on the environment, ranging from formulation of new policies to the enhancement of existing environment protection mechanisms. Also highlights the general information provided in Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha on the various environmental issues. _____________________________________________________________________________________ ISSUES BASED DATABASE (AUGUST) Title: Impact of Global Warming and Climate Change on Rainfall Patterns Date: 7th August, 2014 Ministry of Environmental and Forests (MoEF), Govt of India had undertaken the Indian second National Communication to UNFCCC during 2009-2011(NATCOM-II). The communication had been a national effort which involved many multi-disciplinary scientific groups. Ministry of Earth Sciences carry out scientific studies on climate change and variability under Global and Regional Climate Change (GRCC) programme. Under GRCC programme of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Earth System Science organization (ESSO) has established a dedicated Centre for Climate Change Research (CCCR) under the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. Monsoon rainfall varies on different spatial and temporal scales. Extreme rainfall events that occur at some isolated places (viz. heavy rainfall over Mumbai or in Rajasthan) are highly localized and are part of the natural variability of the Indian monsoon system itself. Although, some recent studies hint at an increasing frequency and intensity of extremes in rainfall during the past 40-50 years, their attribution to global warming is yet to be established. Moreover, the report of the Inter- governmental Panel on Climate Change and our country`s own assessment using regional climate models indicate that the extremes rainfall events are likely to be more frequent in the later part of the 21st century in the world including India.
