Sachin=GOD Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro has been certified by the United Nations as the first metro rail-based system in the world to get carbon credits for contributing to the fight against climate change by help reducing pollution levels in the city by 6.3 lakh tons every year. The organisation has also earned carbon credits worth Rs 47 crore annually for the next seven years. With nearly 20 lakh people taking the new age transport system every day, the Metro has helped reduce pollution and emission of green house gases as it is a completely non-polluting and environment-friendly system. "Thus, DMRC has helped in reduction in emission of harmful gases into the city's atmosphere and the United Nations Body administering the clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol has certified that DMRC has reduced emissions," Delhi Metro spokesman Anuj Dayal said. Thus, Dayal said, the organisation earned carbon credits worth about Rs.47 crore annually for the next seven years and with the increase in number of passengers, this figure shall increase. No other Metro in the world could get the Carbon Credit for the above because of the very stringent requirement of the United Nations Body to provide conclusive documentary proof of reduction in emissions. "It is difficult to give documentary proof of the difference of energy consumption of two scenarios, i.e. with Metro and without Metro. DMRC proposed an innovative method of proving the emissions using sampling techniques. After rigorous persuasion the UN body has finally agreed with this technique as it is very scientific in nature," Dayal said. Delhi Metro has helped remove more than 91,000 vehicles from the roads of Delhi daily. Economic Times :clap: :clap:
Ram Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Wait, they're getting the carbon credits not for how good the Metro is, but how bad the pollution would have been, had the people used regular automobiles? :hmmmm2: So all i have to get these credits is to use a V16 quad-turbocharged rocket car that gave 4 gallons/mile and then start bicycling to work? :dontknow:
Aaku Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 So all i have to get these credits is to use a V16m quad-turbocharged rocket car that gave 4 gallons/mile and then start bicycling to work? :dontknow: Duh :dontknow:
