Common questions
What grid emission factor should I use in India?
Use the Central Electricity Authority's CO2 baseline database for the Indian power sector. Its user guide gives the official grid factor for scope 2: CO2 Baseline Database for the Indian Power Sector (User Guide v22) (Official grid emission factor). Free, in English.
Where can I find emission factors for trucks and travel in India?
The India GHG Program, run by WRI India, CII and TERI, publishes India-specific factors for freight and business travel: India-specific transport emission factors. It also has Excel tools for sectors such as cement, steel and paper: Sectoral calculation tools.
Is there green loan support for small manufacturers in India?
Yes. The Ministry of MSME's scheme, run by SIDBI, gives interest subvention and a credit guarantee on green technology loans: MSE-GIFT scheme (Green loan interest subvention). To choose efficient technology first, see the Bureau of Energy Efficiency's SIDHIEE (MSME energy efficiency portal).
