State-owned gas utility GAIL (India) Ltd on Friday said it has advanced the target to achieve net zero carbon emission by five years to 2035 as it takes multi-prolonged approach to reaching the goal.
The company was previously targeting net zero carbon emissions by 2040.
"GAIL Board accorded approval to advance its net zero target for Scope-I and 2 emissions by five years, from the year 2040 to year 2035," the company said in a statement.
Scope 1 covers emissions from sources that an organisation owns or controls directly — for example from burning fuel in factories or even in its fleet of vehicles.
