Low Carbon Development Pathway for Re-Rolling Mills in Bihar

Publish Date: 30 Dec 2023

This comprehensive study is part of the 'Climate Resilient and Low Carbon Development Pathway for Bihar' project in collaboration with the Bihar State Pollution Control Board and Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation. The report assesses GHG emissions from Bihar's Re-Rolling Mills, revealing 381,440 tons of CO2e in 2021-22. Forecasting sector growth until 2070, it projects a potential annual emission of 2.59 million tons of CO2e. To achieve near-net zero by 2070, proposed interventions focus on reducing coal usage and adopting energy-efficient technologies. This report outlines that successful implementation requires policy, technology, and financial support. The study offers a vital guide for Bihar, outlining a low-carbon development strategy for sustainability in the Re-Rolling Mills sector.
