Abstract

In India, Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme has been set up as one of the initiatives under the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) under the purview of The Energy Conservation (EC) Act. The objective of the scheme is to mandate specific energy efficiency improvements in Energy Intensive industries by setting up Energy Efficiency Targets and issuance of Energy Saving Certificates (ESCERTs) awarded on over achievements which can be further traded. The Scheme is being implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) which has been set up under the ambit of Energy Conservation Act 2001. Railways are one of the Energy Intensive industries defined under the EC Act and accordingly were brought under the PAT regime. Railways being of special importance as while 95% emissions are by Road, Railways accounts only a mere 2%. The introduction of the scheme, its progress and results achieved in the second cycle of the PAT as applied to Railways in Zonal Railways and its Production Units are summarized. This effort of PAT in Energy Efficiency is unique in the world. Way forward: Extension of PAT in Railways through the "Deepening" and "Widening" mechanism and regarding amendment in Energy Conservation Act providing for Carbon Market.
PAT计划中的印度铁路:提高能源效率的成就、成果和未来之路
在印度,执行、实现和贸易(PAT)计划已经作为国家提高能源效率使命(NMEEE)下的倡议之一,在《节能法》的范围内建立起来。该计划的目的是通过设立能源效益目标和颁发节能证书(ESCERTs)来强制能源密集型工业具体提高能源效率,这些证书可进一步交易。该计划由能源效率局(BEE)实施,该局是根据《2001年节约能源法》设立的。铁路是欧共体法案定义的能源密集型产业之一,因此被纳入PAT制度。铁路尤其重要,因为95%的排放量来自公路,而铁路仅占2%。本文总结了该方案的介绍、实施进展和在第二阶段PAT应用于支线铁路及其生产单位的结果。PAT在能源效率方面的努力在世界上是独一无二的。未来之路:通过“深化”和“扩大”机制扩展PAT在铁路中的应用,并修订《节能法》,为碳市场提供支持。
