Mumbai Airport and Metro Lines Embrace Green Initiatives
Mumbai is making strides in becoming more environmentally friendly!
The city's airport has switched to using green energy, reducing its carbon emissions completely.
Also, two of Mumbai's metro lines, 2A and 7, have become carbon neutral.
This means they've offset their emissions by buying credits.
These credits help reduce pollution by encouraging people to use the metro instead of cars.
These actions show a commitment to help the environment and encourage a cleaner future for the city.
Mumbai's City Airport reduced carbon emissions by 100% using green sources for electricity.
Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7 are certified as carbon-neutral corridors.
The carbon neutrality of the metro lines was achieved through the purchase of 85,849 Carbon Offset Units.
The carbon credits account for greenhouse gas emission reductions between Jan 2023 and Dec 2024.
The initiative avoided over 85,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
