Govt puts spotlight on carbon trading TIMES NEWS NETWORK N ew Delhi: Hoping to send a political message that it w ants the inter n a tional ne gotia tions on c limate change to focus on adaptation str a te gies and tec hnol- ogy transfer, the Union gover nment is putting the spotlight on carbon trading. S h r u g ging of f doubts on slippery inter n a tional rules and an unattr acti v e tr ading price, the gover n - ment is par tnering the Confederation of Indian In- dustry in hosting a f our -day c limate technology bazar — a bu yer-seller meet — and inter n ational confer- ences next month. It hopes to bring to gether industries,polluting in - dustries and developed country businesses which can offer new climate-friendl y tec hnologies and ser vices. T hese could rang e fr om r ene w ab le energ y projects to technologies which improve ener gy ef ficienc y. Hoping to stave off pressure for a growing economy to set tar g ets to r educe its o wn emissions,India is sell - ing itself as ‘‘a vast untapped market’’for greenhouse gas mitig ation pr ojects and c limate-friendl y tec hnolo- gies. T he country manufactures 25 million tons of steel, has an installed capacity of electrical po w er generation of 110,000 MW and produces over 200 mil - lion tons of foodgrain. By 2012, it may need 100,000 MW of pow er more. That is going to mean a lot of greenhouse gas emis- sions,given the present tec hnology. But if all sides under stand how the f ledg ling mar- k et and inter n a tional r ules on this could work and pr ojects be gin to tak e sha pe,these could be slotted f or take off under what is called the c lean development mechanism (CDM). Under this method, developed countries that have contributed more to greenhouse gas emissions will not only cut emissions but fund clean projects in de - veloping countries through technology transfers. T h e y will tak e cr edits f or r eduction to achieve their own quotas on this.
