tasks, and feel mentally drained
• Often overwhelmed by constant notifications,
emails, and tight deadlines
 Site Employees:

fatigue and frequent yawning
• Respond slowly to alarms or standard procedures
due to reduced alertness
• May neglect PPE use or take unsafe shortcuts
when energy levels are low
 Common Behavioral Signs: Increased
absenteeism, social withdrawal, and recurring
mistakes

4. How Net Zero is Achieved?
• Net Zero is achieved by a combination of emission
reduction, carbon removal, and carbon offsetting
strategies:
 Reduce Emissions:
• Switching to renewable energy (solar, wind)
• Using electric vehicles (EVs)
• Improving energy efficiency
 Carbon Removal:
• Natural methods: Tree planting, soil carbon
storage
• Technological methods: Direct Air Capture,
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage
(BECCS)
 Offsetting:
• Investing in green projects (solar, wind,
afforestation) Purchasing carbon credits

5. Sectors Driving Net Zero:
 Different sectors contribute differently to emissions. Each sector
needs tailored strategies for Net Zero.
 Energy Sector:
• Phasing out coal, oil, and gas
• Scaling up renewables
 Transport Sector:
• Electric vehicles (EVs)
• Public transportation
• Hydrogen fuels
 Industry:
• Green manufacturing
• Process redesign
• Use of sustainable materials
 Buildings:
• Energy-efficient construction

2050
 Indian Companies:
• Tata Group
• Reliance Industries
• Adani Group
• These All committed to Net Zero targets within their
sustainability goals.
 Global Initiatives Supporting Net Zero:
• UN Race to Zero Campaign – A global movement of
non-state actors (companies, cities, regions).
• Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) – Helps
companies set Net Zero targets based on climate
science.

7. Challenges to Net Zero:
 While Net Zero is crucial, it comes with several
challenges at technical, financial, and policy levels.
 Technological Barriers:
• Carbon capture and storage still expensive and not
widely deployed.
 Financial Challenges:
• High investment needed for clean energy transition.
 Policy Gaps:
• Weak climate policies in many countries.
• Lack of carbon pricing.
 Behavioral Challenges:
• Public resistance to lifestyle changes.
• Industry reluctance to adopt new models.

8. Net Zero in India:
 India announced its Net Zero target for 2070 during
COP26. It has set clear milestones.
 Key Targets:
• 500 GW of non-fossil electricity capacity by 2030
• 50% energy from renewables by 2030
• Reducing carbon intensity by 45% (compared to 2005
levels)
• Total Net Zero by 2070
 Initiatives:
• National Green Hydrogen Mission
• Solar India Projects (One Sun, One World, One Grid)
• EV Mobility Plans

9. The Future of Net Zero – Global Outlook:
 The path towards Net Zero will bring innovation, policy
reforms, and global cooperation.
 Innovation:
• AI-driven energy systems
• Next-gen battery storage
• Green fuels
 Collaboration:
• Public-private partnerships
• International funding mechanisms (Green Climate
Fund)
 Individual Role:
• Reducing energy use
• Using public transport
• Supporting green products and policies

10. Initiatives to reduce GHG Emissions at IRMEL:
 Renewable Energy Initiatives & Investments
• Commissioned a 3.123 MW solar plant in FY 2023–24, powering 23 CNG stations in
Banaskantha GA, reducing grid dependency. Further solar projects are planned in
Banaskantha and Diu & Gir-Somnath GA by FY 2025–26 to strengthen renewable energy
adoption and reduce emissions.
 Sustainable Transport Initiatives:
• Diesel based HCVs converted to CNG reducing emissions significantly.
• IRMEL has started procuring new CNG-based HCVs to further strengthen its green mobility
fleet and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
 Electric Mobility Support:
• 2 EV charging stations installed, encouraging the transition to zero-emission vehicles.

11. GHG Data Monitoring and Carbon Reduction Initiatives:
 Monthly GHG Data Monitoring is
carried out for:
• Scope 1: Direct emissions from
company-owned assets (e.g.,CNG
compressors, company vehicles).
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from
purchased electricity consumption.
• Scope 3: Other indirect emissions
including upstream and downstream
activities like employee travel, third-
party logistics, and vendor-related
emissions.

12. Recommendations to reduce GHG Emissions at IRMEL:
• IRMEL Shifting CNG stations from Daughter Booster to Online Mode directly eliminates the
need for frequent gas transportation through cascades, which typically involves diesel or CNG-
fueled vehicles.
• At IRMEL, by reducing electricity consumption through energy-efficient practices, optimized
equipment operations, and digital monitoring, we can directly reduce CO emissions, as grid
₂
electricity is largely generated from fossil fuels; this supports lowering Scope 2 emissions and
achieving our sustainability goals.
• At IRMEL, by planning and executing preventive maintenance effectively, we can minimize
unplanned shutdowns, equipment failures, and avoid unnecessary gas venting during operations.
This directly contributes to reducing methane emissions (a high-impact greenhouse gas) and CO₂
equivalent emissions, supporting our commitment to lower our carbon footprint.
• As part of our environmental commitment, we organize tree plantation drives on Environment Day
every year to further offset our carbon footprint.
Note : If 1 kg of methane is vented unburned, it causes 25 kg CO emissions.
