standard level of pollution for every sector. Now according to the pollution emission act of India every sector has to follow the emission standard imposed by the
pollution control board of India. But this pollution control board imposes emission
standard for local pollutants only (i.e. CO, NO x , SO 2 , SPM, etc.) and there is no
such standard available for green house gases (CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O) emissions in
India. Therefore, we have tried to estimate the abatement supply for the pollutants
like CO, NO x , SO 2 and SPM only.
In India, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) gives percentage of pollution
abatement for the non-transport sectors for every year.
2 These non-transport sectors
are also major pollution sectors in India. But the sectors described by TERI are not
directly matched with the sectors of our ESAM. So a map of concordance between
TERI’s sectors and the sectors of our ESAM is made and this is given in Table 1.
This table shows that there are only 10 sectors of our ESAM for which the
abatement data is available. Now as the data on abatement supply for the other
sectors is not available to us, we have assumed zero abatement supply for those
sectors of our ESAM.
Again, in case of transport sector the data is available only for the road transport
motorised (RTM) sector. In this case also we have assumed zero abatement supply
for the other transport sector. Now the pollution abatement data for RTM sector is
available from the research paper of Murty and Gulati. (2005). In this paper the
authors have estimated pollution abatement per vehicle for the year 2002 and this
estimation was done for two representative states of India, viz. Andhra Pradesh and
Himachal Pradesh. Now it is observed from this paper that the pollution abatement
per vehicle is quite similar between these two states. So we have assumed this state
level data as the average pollution reduction per vehicle for India for the year 2006–
07 and estimate the abatement supply for the road transport sector.
