Residential Training Program on Decarbonizing Industrial Sector : CSE
Last date to apply July 15, 2023
The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable. The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do.The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival. The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous.But it will need a commitment to reform – structural reform- in the way we do business with local communities. On the other hand, rapid industrialization is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth. Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and in pushing for answers, transforming these into policy and so practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications. We call this knowledge-based activism. We hope we will make a difference.
Continued growth in India’s economy would lead to increased level of demand and production/manufacturing, which would make increase in demand for energy and raw materials by industries inevitable. Production from hard-to-abate industrial sectors such as iron and steel, cement, aluminum and fertilizer are invariably connected to the country’s overall GHG emissions and are expected to increase further. In order to realize India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target of reducing its GHG intensity by 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030,the actionsto be taken should happen at the rapid pace. Additionally, with the advent of international policies like Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), there is an additional pressure on the Indian industries to adopt low carbon production to remain competitive in the global market. To do this, industry stakeholders must work towards a comprehensive strategy that is visionary, realistic, and designed to fully realize each industry’s and sector’s potential for mitigating carbon emissions.
To address this, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has designed a course module to equip industries, consultants, regulators and related professionals with the right knowledge and skills to accelerate the low carbon pathways for industrial sectors to meet their sustainability goals.The course covers critical aspects of decarbonisation such as latest technologies, policies, and availability of green finance which will help stakeholders chalk out future implementable decarbonizing pathways for their respective industrial sectors.
