This book lays out the possibilities:
• using energy from wood biomass and mill residuals instead of fossil fuels;
• substituting wood products for fossil fuel-intensive steel, concrete, brick, and aluminum building components;
• adjusting forest management practices to capture additional atmospheric carbon dioxide;
• retaining forest cover and its potential to mitigate climate change;
• capturing and storing atmospheric carbon in forest carbon "pools" and long-lived wood products; and

Indian cities have experienced unforeseen population growth over the last two decades and this trend is expected to continue over the next two decades. With increasing population, the housing stock will grow manifold and affordable housing will be the biggest challenge to meet. One of the greatest fallouts of rapid urbanization is seen in dilapidated and congested dwellings for the economically weaker segment of the urban population. Both private developers and government schemes which cater to this segment of housing need to ensure digni ed and comfortable living for the urban poor.

The study starts with an overview of PAT scheme, followed by the methodology used in creation of database and provides sector wise statistical analysis. The later chapters cover sectoral analysis of the potential energy savings from all industrial unit as well as the sectors. The study has reviewed 1357 additional units with estimated energy consumption of about 86 Mtoe. Notably, about 600 new units have been identified in the textile sector and 567 in the Iron & Steel sector which are significant in terms of numbers as well as energy consumption.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are engines of economic growth, providing livelihoods to large populations in South Asian countries. However, over exploitation of natural resources can severely impact sustainability of industrial production systems. This paper looks at the opportunities for clean growth in the textile, brick and steel re-rolling industries sectors by reducing carbon and water footprint.
