India adopted its first National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in 2008. The plan outlines existing and future policies and programmes directed at climate change mitigation and adaptation through eight national missions running up to 2017. The missions are wide ranging, targeting energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as other climate change related issues. The various missions each have a lead ministry that is responsible for developing objectives, implementing strategies, timelines, and monitoring. The Prime Minister Council for Climate Change is responsible for undertaking periodic reviews and reporting on the missions' progress. The missions are listed below, with the missions related to energy efficiency described in further detail.

National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) (mission 7): The NMEEE consists of four initiatives to enhance energy efficiency in energy intensive industries. The plan recommends mandating specific energy consumption decreases in large energy-using industries, including a system for companies to trade energy-savings certificates. It also highlights the use of incentives, including reduced taxes on energy-efficient appliances. Finally, it recommends financing for public-private partnerships for demand-side management (DSM) programmes that reduce energy consumption in the municipal, buildings and agricultural sectors. This is enabled through the following four mechanisms.The Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme -is a regulatory instrument to reduce specific energy consumption in energy intensive industries, with an associated market based mechanism to enhance the cost effectiveness through certification of excess energy savings, which can be traded.

Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency (MTEE) -aims to help accelerate the shift to energy efficient appliances in designated sectors through innovative measures such as incentives and innovative business models.

The Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP) -provides a platform to interact with financial institutions and project developers for implementation of energy efficiency projects.

The Framework for Energy Efficient Economic Development (FEEED) -encompasses the development of fiscal instruments to leverage finance for energy efficiency through risk mitigation and provision of equity investment.

National Mission for Sustainable Habitat (mission 1): The plan seeks to promote energy efficiency as an essential component of urban planning. It calls for extending the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), and emphasises urban waste management and recycling, including power production from waste. In the transport sector it calls for stronger enforcement of automotive fuel economy standards, using pricing measures to encourage the purchase of efficient vehicles, and providing incentives for the use of public transportation

Other missions include the National Water Mission (2), National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem (3), National Mission for a Green India (4), National Mission for Sustainable agriculture (5), National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change (6), and the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) (8).

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…
