The contribution of aviation industry towards green house gas emission is getting attention all over the world. The carbon footprint of airport can be reduced by substituting the conventional source of energy with solar PV based power generation.The 12 MWp solar powered airport commissioned by Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).The average performance ratio (PR) of the plant is 86.56% and corresponding capacity utilisation factor (CUF) is 20.12% with final yield of 1984.1h.The economic and environmental analyses of
the solar powered Cochin airports confirms its effectiveness in reducing the carbon footprint, leading to
virtually zero emission, clean and green sustainable airport.

The proposed solid waste treatment plant at Brahmapuram capable of processing 500 tonnes of waste material daily will adopt the waste-to-energy technology model based on the incineration method.The waste-to-energy technology is expected to provide help in converting the non-recyclable and combustible portion of the waste to electricity. It will also reduce the amount of material sent to landfills besides preventing contamination of air and water.The project will be implemented under a DBFOT (design, build, finance, operate and transfer) pattern in the public-private participatory mode.

The Cochin Municipal Corporation has selected the stretch between Thevara junction and Thoppumpady bridge along the new Venduruthy bridge for the installation of the lamps. Energy Management Center(EMC), Thiruvanathapuram provided 100 LED lamps alongwith one auto timer for this stretch. The LED lamps are installed on a pilot basis and monitored. If proved successful, the CMC has plans to roll it out on a larger scale. The LED light consumes 80 watt compare to the normal 200 watt CFL lamps

The pace of growth and development in India has pushed the demand for energy and resourcesin parallel. With more than 30% of the total population in India residing in cities, the need to
satiate energy requirements of these burgeoning centers of demand is crucial to sustainable development. The ‘Development of Solar Cities’ programme by Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India is aimed at creating self-sustaining cities by leveraging the immense solar potential through renewable energy and several other energy
efficiency projects in order to curb conventional energy demand by 10% in the next five years. Envisioned as a roadmap for Indian cities to chart their individual path of sustainable development encompassing formulation of renewable energy and energy efficiency strategies, this Master Plan is developed in support from the MNRE to provide a direction for development of solar cities in India.
