Therefore, in the above-mentioned way we have obtained the row and column of
the damaging substances account of our ESAM for India for the year 2006–07. But
this ESAM also includes depletable substances in the substances account. So we
have to estimate the row and column of this depletable substances account of this
ESAM and this estimation procedure is given below.
2.3 Estimation for Depletable Natural Resources
In this case we have considered crude oil and coal as the depletable natural
resources. The production data in physical unit on crude oil and coal has been taken
as measure of the quantities of depletion of these two types of resources and the
data is available from CSO (2006).
3 Now the data obtained in this way can be
interpreted as ‘free’ intermediate consumption (without direct cost) used in the
production process of the crude oil and natural gas sector. So to construct the row of
this depletable substances account we have put the data in the row of this depletable
substances account corresponding to the column of crude oil and coal sectors.
On the other hand to construct the column of this depletable substances account,
we have obtained the data on new discoveries of crude oil and coal reserve in India
in the year 2006–07. In this case we have obtained this data on new discoveries
from TERI (2005). Hence, in this way we have constructed the row and the column
of the depletable substances account of our ESAM for India for the year 2006–07.
Thus we have obtained the row and column for each of the substances to construct
our ESAM for India for the year 2006–07. Now apart from this substances account
there is also another account, i.e. account for environmental themes which is also
important for our ESAM for India for the year 2006–07. Below we have described
the method of estimating environmental themes for India for the year 2006–07.
2.4 Estimation for Environmental Themes
In this case we have to estimate the inventory of the substances in the Indian
economy for the year 2006–07. Now to estimate this inventory we have estimated
the net generation of the substances in the Indian economy for the year 2006–07.
The net generation in this case is obtained in the following way:
Net Generation of Substances ¼ Total Generation of each substances
À Total abatement of each substances:
Finally, on the basis of the method described throughout this study, we have
obtained the complete extension of ESAM for India for the year 2006–07. This
