Abstract

Climate change, currently the biggest threat that the world is facing today has impacts on different sectors such as agriculture, energy, forestry and health. United Nations Framework Conservation on Climate Change was formed to mitigate these threats. Parties to the conservation met at Kyoto, Japan and approved Clean Development Mechanism to combat Green house gas emissions. India has a vast opportunity to explore in terms of CDM and carbon-credits. Through its giant ongoing Infrastructure projects and projects on non- conventional energy sources, a new phase of development is still to be observed, moderate start of which has already begun. One of the projects, which is being applied for CDM is methane collection and utilization from sewage water treatment facilities. The objective of this paper is to identify the size of opportunities for gaining carbon credit through sewage treatment plants.
