Energy strategy: The Indian government has approved a national trading scheme for carbon credits and energy-efficiency certificates that it claims could be worth more than 750 billion rupees (US$15 billion) by 2015. The National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency, one of eight proposals in India ‘s climate-change strategy, is projected to reduce the country’s energy consumption by 5%; a year, and cut about 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year from its current annual emissions of 3 billion tonnes.
