CII - Godrej GBC will facilitate organisation to inventorize their overall Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (both direct and indirect emissions including process emissions, energy, transport, etc) at their facilities in line with internationally accepted guidelines/ standards The study will also validate data collection methods and identify any gaps in the existing data. Carbon footprint study (or GHG inventorization study) would also serve as a baseline for further improvements with specific targets for reduction of GHG emissions.
As a part of the carbon footprint Study, CII - Godrej GBC would verify and validate the data taken for carbon footprint estimation.
CII has, in the past, worked with various companies, on developing their carbon footprint and supporting their low carbon development. The carbon footprint study helped in identifying the major contributors to GHG emissions in these companies and enabled the identification of mitigation options to reduce their GHG emissions.
CII Godrej GBC has also supported various state government in establishing carbon footprint for their State. In past CII has worked with the State Government of Meghalaya, Odisha, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in developing the carbon footprint and also identifying state level GHG reduction opportunities.
In addition to the above, CII has also developed Low Carbon Technology Roadmap for Indian Cement Sector in partnership with various national and international agencies. The objective of the roadmap is to support the cement sector in India to reduce their emission intensity by 45% by 2050. CII is also facilitating many cement companies in implementing this roadmap by supporting them in various initiatives such as energy efficiency, alternate fuel and raw material utilization, benchmarking, etc.
