Gujarat Pollution Control Board
After the enactment of water prevention and control of pollution act, the Gujarat government constituted the Gujarat pollution control board in 1974. The board's main objective is to control and minimize pollution in the state. The board is entrusted with the implementation of central environment laws and state rules and laws pertaining to the environment.
There are 27 regional offices, and out of those 27, six have a laboratory equipped with analytical facilities. The head office is located in Gandhinagar, and the central laboratory is also located in the state capital. The head office is equipped R&D facility so that the best ways and methods can be created to treat gaseous and liquid effluents. The board regularly inspects sites and projects. It collects samples and sends them to its laboratories for inspection. Over the years the board has grown its infrastructure and also its staff and has recruited qualified staff for developing new techniques and methods to abate pollution and also it is able to deal with complex issues and laws. The board makes sure that industries follow these laws and rules. The body is empowered to levy fines and order closure of defaulting industries.
Once consent to establish has been granted by the board, and the project's construction has been completed by the industry, then that particular industry can apply for consent to operate.
Emission trading scheme (ETS) is a pilot project started by the Gujarat government and implemented by the Gujarat pollution control board. It is a market based concept; the concept is based on the approach of incentivizing industries if they are able to reduce pollution emission. Each industry will be given a quota of pollution it can emit. And if that industry is able to reduce pollution, then the surplus quota can be sold by that industry to some other industry, thus creating a system where the industry would be rewarded for reducing pollution. This way, the industry would invest more in developing methods and techniques to reduce pollution so that it can sell its surplus quota and does not need to spend money to buy additional quota.
Cap on pollution and trade of units will enable the market to find the best way to cut emissions. The cap on pollution per industry would be decided by the state government in consultation with the pollution board. The basic criteria for deciding the cap of pollution would be the category the specific industry falls in and the amount of money invested in a project by the particular industry. The cap on pollution would get stricter over the years requiring industries to reduce pollution on a yearly basis. The industry missing these set criteria would be penalized heavily, thus forcing it to buy additional quota from an industry which has reduced its pollution, making it more expensive for heavy polluting industries.
The emission trading units will be sold on trading platforms and will work like a stock market where trading of ETS units will be facilitated; the units would be traded on National commodity and derivatives exchange limited.
The scheme is based on the concept of Polluter pay principle. The particulate emission by the industry will be calculated on the kilogram of pollution per annum. And units to be marked as quota will also be in accordance with the kilogram pollutant formula. The concept is still in the initial stage, and the Gujarat pollution board will sanitize and inform industries about the concept. In the initial stage, the concept is in its trial basis, and only 150 industries have been included in the state with further inclusion of industries in a stage wise manner. The pollution board will organize seminars for industry leaders and officials so that they have knowledge of the concept and dialogue between industry staff and government official will be held so that the scheme can be made more transparent and efficient and the concept can be converted into a fully functional program.
