The new research work emphasized the need for well -thought -out strategies and sustainable procedures in the public sector institutions in Kerala for solving problems that are climate change.
Study scientists from the Raj School of Economics (KNRSE), Mahatma Gandhi University, was based on ecological examples from Cochin International Airport (Cial), Kochi Metro Rail and Kochi Water Metro and MG University. In the context of climate change, “institutional adaptation of several public sector institutions in Kerala”, was published in the Kerala economy, published by the Gulati Institute for Financing and Taxation, Thiruvananthapuram was published “Institutional adaptation of several public sector institutions.
In the case of MG University, scientists examined the innovative management of residues and water storage methods received on the premises. Energy saving, especially the use of renewable sources and carbon savings, was in the case of three other target areas.
Generated by 33 crore
“Total money generated due to institutional adaptation strategies of selected institutions is around 33 Crore (every year),” the research work said. This should serve as a guide for other public institutions in Kerala with regard to institutional adaptation, said S. Muraleedharan, Faculty, KNRSE and one of the authors of the paper.
According to scientists, economic valuation and technical data provided by institutions were used for data analysis.
The study noted that Cial, which has a robust solar energy program, is now the second largest energy manufacturer in Kerala after the Ceral Electric Electric (KSEB) Council. “From the initial investment of 270 Crore for the solar energy project, CIAL generated 54 lakh units of green energy per month, corresponding to 1.76 369.76 tons of carbon savings,” he said. Kochi Railway Metro requires 20 mega watts (MW) daily and more than 50% come from its own solar power plants. “The annual carbon saving CO2 is 11 236.912 tons and its cash value is about 2 crore,” he said. The study noted that Kochi Water Metro’s electric ships reduced diesel consumption by 758 tonnes.
Safe disposal
MG University is an example in terms of safe removal of residues, be it dangerous material, food, paper of electronic items. Their safe liquidation also generates income for the university, the study noted.
The post noted that the findings emphasize the need for a solution adapted to local vulnerabilities and at the same time support resistance to impact on the climate. Other authors of the article included Teen Mariya Saju, Vyhnovi Sumesh and Rajimol Reji of Knrs.
