Editor's Notes

  • #5: As a result, Governments all over the globe have introduced regulatory compliance programs requiring industrial companies to reduce both energy consumption and harmful emissions year over year. Many of these targets are continuous reduction targets, meaning that each year large industrials are required to reduce by 5 percentyear over year.China has formally announced its target for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The country says that by 2020, it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percentto 45 percentcompared to the level in 2005. The government also pledged a 30 percent reduction in water consumption per unit of industrial value-added output by 2015.India has proposed a 25 percent emission reduction target for 2030 using their Perform and Trade Scheme.
