Abstract :

In the past few decades, environmental degradation has exhibited an exponential growth which has certainly become an issue of global concern. Many developed and developing countries are striving to combat the menace of climate change through various means. In current times, the level of carbon dioxide emissions has increased exponentially due to the heavy increase in energy demand and carbon dependency of industries. It is an issue of major concern that India has become the world’s fastest-growing polluter. According to British Petroleum’s comprehensive Statistical Review of World Energy, India’s carbon dioxide emission level was shown to have increased by 8.1% in 2014 and accounted for the largest share in the global emissions scale.
