Energy Koyal Group Inc - Product: Scotch Marine Boilers</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><b><a href="http://gekgi.com/scotch.php">The Scotch Marine Boiler</a></b> is a fire-tube boiler, in that
hot flue gases pass through tubes set within a tank of water. The general
layout is that of a squat horizontal cylinder. One or more large cylindrical
furnaces are in the lower part of the boiler shell. Above this is a large
number of small-diameter fire-tubes. Gases and smoke from the furnace pass to
the back of the boiler, then return through the small tubes and up and out of
the chimney. There are two basic designs for Scotch Marine Boilers. The typical
design is the "wetback", where the rear face of the combustion
chamber is water-jacketed as a heating surface. The "dryback"
variation has the rear of the combustion chamber as an open box, backed or
surrounded only by a sheet metal jacket. This simplifies construction, but also
loses much efficiency. For more production of boilers and equipment, just visit

         <title>Green Energy Koyal Group Inc: Ten Clean Energy Stocks For 2015</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><p>2015 marks
 my seventh annual list of ten clean&nbsp;<a href="http://gekgi.com/">energy</a>
 stocks.&nbsp; An equal weighted portfolio of
 the ten stocks in each year's list has outperformed my industry benchmark every
 year except 2013.&nbsp; 2014 was no exception,
 but it was a bittersweet victory in that the model portfolio was slightly down
 while the benchmark lost considerably more in a very challenging year for clean
 energy stocks.</p><p>I will
 publish a wrap-up article for the 2014 list in the next couple days, but I
 wanted to get the 2015 list out on New Year's day.&nbsp;</p><p>Again this
 year, I will be providing a high and low target for each stock.&nbsp; These are the range within which I expect the
 stocks to end the year.&nbsp; In 2014, three
 of the picks violated the downside targets, and none violated the upside
 targets.&nbsp; I've also included annual
 dividends and yield, and Beta, a measure of market risk for US stocks.&nbsp; Low Beta stocks generally perform better than
 high Beta stocks in market downturns; the market average Beta is 1.</p><p>Finally, I
 include a discussion of insider sentiment: company insiders buying or selling
 the stock.&nbsp; Since company insiders
 usually receive stock as part of their compensation, insider sales are
 generally more common than insider purchases.&nbsp;
 Hence insider buying is almost always a good sign, and I consider it
 particularly important in the small capitalization stocks I favor.&nbsp; These stocks are more likely to be mispriced
 than larger, more widely followed stocks for which there is much more
 information available to investors.&nbsp;
 Company insiders are the ones most likely to see such mispricing.&nbsp; Since insider trading information is much
 easier to find for US stocks than foreign stocks, I include links to my sources
 of information for insider trading.</p><p><a href="http://www.altenergystocks.com/archives/2015/01/ten_clean_energy_stocks_for_2015.html"><b>Read Income Stocks here</b></a></p></p>]]></description>

Energy Koyal Group Inc: Imagine if we used renewable energy to build a safer
world</title>
         <author>r0isekleany</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/greenkouju/gekgi/wish/46765011</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><p><b>The UK government spends £37
billion on the arms industry every year. <a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/transformation/andrew-smith/imagine-if-we-used-renewable-energy-to-build-safer-world">What if it invested in green
energy instead?</a></b></p>
<p>What if instead of investing in the arms industry, the government
backed renewable energy? Every year the UK spends over £37 billion on the
military. What if that money was used to promote social and environmental
justice instead?</p>
<p>Today the UK has the sixth largest military budget in the world,
and fuels conflicts globally by selling arms to a number of the most aggressive
and authoritarian regimes. In recent years British weapons have been used in
Israel’s attacks on Gaza, and to repress democracy movements in Hong Kong and
across the Middle East.</p>
<p>But the UK could use its international influence to promote green
energy rather than militarism and war. Offshore wind and marine energy rely on
similar skills to the arms trade. Both are growing fields, but are underfunded
and in need of government support if their potential is to be realized. </p>
<p>Unfortunately the UK has been all too happy to promote war as a
force for good. Following last year's NATO Summit the UK's Business Minister
Matthew Hancock said: “As part of our long term economic plan, we are working
closely with the defence sector to secure new investment, highly-skilled jobs
and build a better and brighter future for Britain.”</p>
<p>This exposes the same flawed, militaristic outlook that has driven
industrial policy for far too long. The reality is that if we are really to
build a better and brighter future, and secure jobs, then the government needs
to shift its priorities. We should be focusing on more positive, productive
sectors.</p>
<p><b>Subsiding conflict or building a
safer world?</b></p>
<p>The arms industry doesn't act in isolation. The government
provides it with a disproportionate level of political and financial support.
Every year the public subsidises arms companies by hundreds of millions of
pounds. BAE Systems, for example, has long-term contracts that guarantee a
minimum income of £230 million per year from the public purse. </p>
<p>Government ministers argue that this money is needed to protect
high skilled manufacturing jobs and promote security. But such a narrow focus
on military strength disregards the real security threats. The underlying
drivers of national and international insecurity are climate change and the
sustainability and security of our energy sources. Currently the UK is a large
net importer of energy, with imports accounting for 47% of UK energy use in
2013. </p>
<p>In the UK there is a severe skills shortage in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Maths. Many sectors would be grateful recipients of
investment and displaced arms industry workers, and could do a lot more to
tackle non-military threats.</p>
<p>The renewable sector is one such area. It is growing and its
workforce uses many of the same skills as those in the arms trade. Yet in 2013
the government spent 25 times more on arms Research &amp; Development (R&amp;D)
(£1.46 billion) than it did on R&amp;D for renewable energy (£58.6 million).</p>
<p>The UK is in a strong position to play its part in tackling
climate change. It has the largest wind resources in Europe and already has as
much capacity installed as the rest of the world combined. It also has
substantial wave and tidal resources that could be instrumental in creating a
greener and better society. But an industry wide skills shortage and a lack of
investment has lead to missed opportunities. At present only 25% of the parts
that make up UK wind turbines are made in the UK, while three quarters are
imported–meaning we are missing out on large numbers of supply chain jobs.</p>
<p><b>New and better jobs</b></p>
<p>There are up to 170,000 jobs in the UK arms industry. This follows
a long term decline in arms trade jobs and stands at less than half of what it
was 20 years ago. The arms industry's trade association (ADS), estimates that
of these jobs the number employed in arms exports is 55,000, which accounts for
around 0.2% of the UK workforce.</p>
<p>It seems likely that the decline in arms industry jobs will
continue. An international survey of arms company chief executives found that
“the near-universal expectation is for a decline”, in spending and jobs.</p>
<p>In comparison, CAAT’s research shows that a move towards offshore
wind and marine energy could benefit us all by providing greater security from
environmental threats and by producing more jobs than the entire arms industry.
Our estimate is that the right investment and government support could help to
create over 300,000 jobs in offshore wind and marine energy alone. This
estimate is based on building the domestic supply chain for renewable energy,
including placing obligations on companies to locate and develop skills in
local communities.</p>
<p>Like the arms trade, the renewable energy sector is highly
skilled. It has a similar breakdown across broad categories of skill levels and
employs many of the same branches of engineering. As Dr Sandy Wilson, the
President of General Dynamics UK, told the parliamentary Defence Committee:
“The skills that might be divested of a reducing defence industry do not just
sit there waiting to come back. They will be mopped up by other industries that
need such skills... You can think of the upsurge in nuclear and alternative
energy as being two areas that would mop up those people almost immediately.” </p>
<p>A shift from arms to renewables could ensure that appropriate work
is available in the main areas where arms workers are located, with thousands
of supply chain jobs that could be located anywhere in the country. This would
provide both better jobs for workers, and a better outcome for society as a
whole. With fewer people personally involved in the war industries, we may also
see public attitudes begin to shift away from militarism and conflict.</p>
<p><b>Making the choice</b></p>
<p>Even the pro-arms trade Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said
that the opportunities offered by the green economy are "immense". </p>
<p>The government has to make a choice about the kind of society it
wants to build. By halving the military procurement bill the government could
save around £7 billion per year, with an additional £700 million being saved by
ending arms export subsidies. This money could make a huge impact when it comes
to developing the <b><a href="http://gekgi.com/">green
economy</a></b>. </p>
<p>These changes would not just transform industrial policy, they
would also lead to a radical, transformative change across our society. The
contrast between the waste and destruction of the arms trade and the potential
benefits of the renewable energy sector is stark. The arms trade thrives on
war, conflict and insecurity, with devastating consequences around the world.
In comparison, an investment in renewables would show a shift in mentality and
could create hundreds of thousands of new and positive jobs, allowing the UK to
use its influence positively. </p>
<p>This change will need investment and concerted UK government
effort at the level currently devoted to the arms industry. It will also need
highly-skilled engineers – like those currently working for arms companies. But
there is a role for all of us if we are to make the government shift
priorities, create more and better jobs, and build a safer world for all.</p>

         <title>Green Energy Koyal Group Inc: Wave energy has potential to
be cheaper than wind</title>
         <author>lokeregenet</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/greenkouju/gekgi/wish/47207260</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><b><a href="http://blueandgreentomorrow.com/2015/01/13/wave-energy-has-potential-to-be-cheaper-than-wind/">Wave
energy could be cheaper</a> and easier to integrate into current energy systems
than other forms of renewables because of its relative consistency, according
to new analysis.</b></p>

<p>The study, a collaboration
between researchers at Oregon State University, the University of Victoria, and
private industry, estimates that the cost of integrating wave energy into the
system would be 10% or less than the costs of integrating wind energy. However,
the researchers noted that integration is just one component.</p>

<p>The findings, published in
journal <a href="http://gekgi.com/">Renewable Energy</a>, are based on a lower
variability with wave energy. The researchers explain that the variability of
alternative energy sources is one of the factors that holds back their wider
use because if wind or solar energy decreases and varies widely, then other
energy production has to back it up, adding to the overall cost of energy
supply.</p>

<p>In comparison to other
renewables, wave energy has a lower variability and by balancing wave energy
production over a larger geographic area this can be reduced further. As a
result, wave energy has the potential to provide cheaper and more consistent energy
than both wind and solar.</p>

<p><i>“Whenever
any new form of energy is added, a challenge is to integrate it into the system
along with other sources,” explains Ted Brekken, an associate professor and
renewable energy expert in the College of Engineering at Oregon State
University.</i></p>

<p><i>“By
producing wave energy from a range of different sites, possibly with different
types of technology, and taking advantage of the comparative consistency of the
wave resource itself, it appears that wave energy integration should be easier
than that of wind energy. The reserve, or backup generation, necessary for wave
energy integration should be minimal.”</i></p>

<p>Whilst wave energy is still in
the infancy of its development, and as a result is not price competitive on an
overall bases, costs are expected to fall further as technologies improve,
systems are developed and the energy source becomes more widespread.</p>]]></description>

Energy Koyal Group Inc: Three reasons the oil price slump presents a daunting

         <description><![CDATA[<p><p><b><a href="http://www.businessgreen.com/bg/james-blog/2390196/three-reasons-the-oil-price-slump-presents-a-daunting-challenge-for-the-green-economy">The collapse in the price of
oil leaves green business</a> advocates with little choice: we need to
find a better way to talk about climate change</b></p>
<p>And so, it continues. Oil fell below $45 (£30) a barrel yesterday
morning, futures falling another 4.1 per cent on the back of fast-inflating US
stockpiles, and indications from the United Arab Emirates that it has no
intention of curbing production just yet. The oil price graph now resembles
nothing so much as a cliff face or a Lib Dem leader's approval ratings. The
analysts who singularly failed to predict this slump are now rushing to predict
how long it will last and how low the price can go – we should be forgiven for
questioning what qualifies them to keep making confident predictions.</p>
<p>You will no doubt have read much of the analysis detailing how the
slump has been caused by US fracking or competition from clean tech or
Machiavellian OPEC manoeuvrings (delete as appropriate). You will also have
read about how the slump will either prove shortlived as supplies are trimmed
and demand recovers, or an epoch-defining event as OPEC's influence dwindles,
shale plays redefine the energy landscape, and clean tech leads to a permanent
drop in fossil fuel demand. And you will have read how the oil price collapse
is great news for green businesses as investors ditch unproductive fossil fuel
assets and flock to cleaner alternatives, or terrible news for green businesses
as cheap oil obliterates the financial rationale for low-carbon technologies.</p>
<p>The breadth of the spectrum of analysis on almost every aspect of
the oil price slump – not to mention the manner in which many people's
understanding of this phenomenon appears to be informed as much by their
ideological world views as the changing nature of the market – again underlines
the extent to which no one can really say with any confidence what will happen
next. Once again we are forced to reach for the old Hollywood adage, nobody
knows anything.</p>
<p>However, amid the recent avalanche of analysis, a handful of
important points are in danger of being missed.</p>
<p>The first is that the green business community is in danger of
hyping up the benefits that will come from a sustained period of low oil prices
and underestimating the significant harm that could be wreaked on clean-tech
firms.</p>
<p>There has been a tendency among green business commentators in
recent weeks to highlight how oil and gas firms will suffer more from the oil
price crash than their clean-tech competitors. This is undoubtedly the case.
Much depends on the longevity of this period of low oil prices, but it is clear
that if it continues for any length of time, the oil majors face a period of
retrenchment, job cuts, and axed projects. The outlook for clean-tech firms
that are supported by decarbonisation policies and are benefiting from falling
cost curves is far more encouraging. But that does not mean clean tech firms
can expect to be fully insulated from the challenges that come with having to
compete with fossil fuels that are now nominally cheaper.</p>
<p>If the low oil price is sustained – admittedly, a big if – the
short to medium-term implications for clean tech will prove significant and
largely negative. The cost of clean energy will become more expensive relative
to gas (or simply less competitive in those lucky regions where clean energy
already undercuts fossil fuels). Meanwhile, electric car and energy-efficiency
investments will all be left looking less financially attractive compared with
recent years.</p>
<p>The policy implications of this new reality would be widely felt.
Taking the UK as just one example, the promise to set wholesale prices for
clean-energy generators through the new contract for difference regime becomes
a lot more expensive if gas wholesale prices fall. If the government persists
with its cap on the amount of funding available to support clean energy, which
it will, fewer projects than previously thought will be able to be built with
the budget. Controversial projects such as new nuclear, carbon capture and
storage, and offshore wind developments will become even more contentious.
Meanwhile, politically Labour is tying itself in knots this week explaining how
its energy "price freeze" was always in reality a "price
cap".</p>
<p>Some green campaigners have boldly and reasonably argued that the
fall in the oil price offers an opportunity to introduce a more effective
carbon price that businesses and consumers will be more likely to accept. You
can't fault the logic, just as you can never fault the logic of proper carbon
pricing. But can you envisage a mainstream politician today who has the nerve
to take the cost of living get-out-of-jail-free card they have just been handed
by the global oil market and then erode its impact with higher carbon taxes?
Have you met George Osborne or Ed Balls?</p>
<p>Yes, a low oil price that continues into the medium term harms the
oil industry more than the emerging clean-tech sector, but that does not
preclude green businesses facing a period of weakened investment cases and
policy uncertainty. This precariousness will be further fuelled by the manner
in which virtually every mainstream political player in every oil-producing
country in the world appears to remain wedded to prioritising short-term action
to prop up the faltering oil sector over long-term efforts to engineer an end
to the oil sector. Chancellor George Osborne provides Exhibit A.</p>
<p>The second key point is slightly more encouraging for green
businesses and centres on the way in which clean energy offers a much more
stable alternative to the demonstrably volatile oil price. The oil price will
spike again at some point, we just don't know when. Consequently, just as the
oil majors are attempting to argue that high-capital projects will still be
needed in the future, it is clear that clean-energy developers can present
precisely the same argument.</p>
<p>Plenty of businesses are happy to pay a current premium for the
clean energy they use because they recognise the value of having long-term
price stability. Even in a period of low fossil fuel prices this argument can
resonate, particularly when you consider how oil price volatility can be
contrasted with the falling price of renewable, and particularly solar, power.
The past few months might have demonstrated that the goal of grid parity for
clean energy is a moving target, but that does not mean clean tech firms can't
reach it.</p>
<p>However, while the 'stability versus volatility' argument can
work, it is abundantly clear that it is less compelling than the 'renewables
are cheaper' argument, which has just taken a shellacking at the hands of oil
price collapse. As ever, there is an unanswerable long-term argument for
investing in renewables and there are reasons to remain confident they will
prove nominally cheaper than oil, coal and gas eventually. But in the short
term plenty of businesses will be focused on trying to work out how they can
exploit low oil prices. <b><a href="http://gekgi.com/">Green
firms</a></b> need to recognise that reality and work out a marketing
approach that can still appeal to customers who have just seen one of the
financial triggers for switching to clean technologies disarmed.</p>
<p>The narrow financial challenges that low-carbon firms now face
leads to the third problem presented by the oil price slump: the need for an
even more sophisticated articulation of the merits of the green economy.</p>
<p>If the oil price remains in the doldrums, supporters of the green
economy will have to expand upon some of the narrow economic arguments that
have dominated green business discourse in recent years, and start talking more
explicitly about climate change.</p>
<p>For several years a high oil price enabled the simplistic argument
that cleaner technologies made more financial and economic sense than fossil
fuel incumbents. A low oil price still requires an economic argument, but it is
a more sophisticated one that draws heavily on the need to recognise the
economic costs that come with the climate impacts, air pollution, and price
volatility that result from fossil fuels, as well as the myriad benefits that
come with genuinely clean technologies.</p>
<p>Clean energy is still cheaper than oil when you consider the full
costs of fossil fuels. The biggest subsidy in the world remains the one handed
to the fossil fuel industry that allows it to offload the bulk of its
environmental costs onto society as a whole. In the absence of a meaningful
carbon price and in the presence of a low oil price, green business supporters
need to find a way to make this case. In short, they need to identify an
approach for talking about climate change risks and the transformation they
necessitate, regardless of what is happening to the oil price this month.</p>
<p>Here is the daunting reality that we all too rarely wrestle with.
Oil, coal, and gas could be as free as the (often dirty) air we breathe and we
would still have to stop using it. In fact, if global decarbonisation efforts
are successful, the long-term trend for the oil price is towards $1 a barrel as
alternative technologies result in an eventual collapse in demand. The oil
price can plummet to historically low levels, but it will not make one iota of
difference to climate science and the warnings that come with it. We need to
find a way to leave these assets in the ground. Ultimately, the only way to do
that is to deliver alternative technologies that are demonstrably better than
fossil fuels.</p>
<p>The global effort to tackle climate change centres on the
development of technologies that will allow future generations to ignore coal
the way we now largely ignore the flint and bronze that first enabled the
development of human civilisation. In this context, the vagaries of the oil price
should be seen as a sideshow.</p>

         <title>Tips
on how to save energy</title>
         <author>mavpurehito</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>You can save money and lessen your consumption of natural
resources and reducing pollution by conserving energy wisely. <b><a href="http://gekgi.com/">Green Energy Koyal Group Inc</a></b>
suggests that consumers follow these tips for minimizing the household's energy
consumption.</p>
<p><b>Keep track of your thermostat</b></p>
<p>Changing your thermostat to a certain degree or so can really make
a big difference on your energy bill. Learn to adjust your thermostat based
upon the weather and time of the day. See to it that your heating system is
also working properly.</p>
<p><b>Be aware of your heat source</b></p>
<p>Instead of using electric resistant heating such as baseboard
heaters, floor furnaces, space heaters, wall heaters, and central electric
heat, Green Energy Koyal Group Inc suggests that it's best to use a heat pump
that is properly sized and installed.</p>
<p><b>Learn when to heat your home</b></p>
<p>You should keep the heat where it has to be, which is outside in
the summer and inside in the winter. If your windows are not double paned or
storm windows, you can use plastic to cover windows in the wintertime to reduce
drafts. Moreover, you should make sure that holes, gaps, and weather-stripping
are all intact so your home is properly insulated.</p>
<p><b>Minimize your hot water usage</b></p>
<p>Make sure that your water heater is set at 120 degrees, any hotter
is useless and a waste of energy. Consumers can even wash their clothes in cold
or warm instead of hot when possible, and run the dishwasher and washing
machine only with full loads.</p>
<p><b>Unplug fridges and freezers if
not needed</b></p>
<p>We all know that refrigerators and freezers use lots of energy, so
if you have a second one somewhere in home, you are just increasing the cost on
your electricity bill. Learn to minimize your amount of food storage so that
you can unplug the extra appliance.</p>
<p><b>Manage your light usage</b></p>
<p>Change your incandescent bulbs to LED or compact fluorescent bulbs
to save energy on lighting. Since these lights do not produce as much heat as
incandescent bulbs, you can also save greater in summer. You should also turn
the lightings in your house if they are not being used.</p>
<p><b>Avoid phantom loads</b></p>
<p>Phantom load, also known as standby power or vampire power, is the
electricity consumed by an electronic device while it is turned off or in
standby mode. It is the power that maintains your TV settings and keeps the
clock going on your DVD player and microwave, but this power comes at a price.
So be diligent and unplug devices and appliances that are currently not in use.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><p>Technology is defined as the
 application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in
 industry. While green technology refers to the continuous evolving methods of
 generating energy from the nontoxic products of the environment.</p><p>Green technology fulfills the
 current needs of the society without reducing the expected needs of the future
 generations. It utilizes the best methods to provide the needs of the people in
 a long term basis. This technology reduces the pollution and wastes by transforming
 the methods of production and consumption.</p><p>A center of economic activity could
 be developed which is beneficial for the environment by accelerating the
 implementation process and inventing all the careers that protect the world.</p><p>One of the obvious significant
 benefits of using this technology is reducing the pollution and carbon
 emission. Green buildings, paperless offices and manufacturing in green process
 can help in the reduction of the carbon emission.</p><p>Controlling the rise in temperature
 can also be achieved using this technology. The clean and fuel-efficient
 transportation, recycling of waste, and other ways of preserving the
 environment makes it possible for controlling the temperature.</p><p>Work productivity has improved in
 places where the rural households are provisioned with the biogas plants.
 Technologies can be utilized in mud refrigerators, solar cookers as well as in
 the green farming practices. The rain water harvesting and the water storage
 methods are some of the green techniques.</p><p>Green technology can also be a
 relief to the citizens living in a city, because of the fact that pollution in
 urban areas is dramatically increasing. The compressed natural gas (CNG)
 fuelled public transports can reduce the air pollution and the carbon emission
 in the cities.</p><p>Corporate sectors can also benefit
 using this technology. It can minimize the input costs with all the energy
 efficient methods along with the construction of green buildings and the green
 manufacturing process may lead to the resource and energy saving process of the
 organizations. The efficient lighting and air conditioning methods can save the
 power of a specific company besides acting as overall power saver for the
 society.</p><p>The green technology can also build
 wonders in the sectors of power generation. Solar energy, wind power, biogas
 production, etc. can provide opportunities to many unemployed individuals and
 can also give energy solutions to the extreme rural communities in a better
 way. Thus, the standard of living will increase with a very less impact on the
 environment. So, the green technology takes care of the needs of the entire
 society without any doubt.</p><p>To summarize, green technology
 offers many advantages for the benefit of our environment. Utilizing this
 technology can result in sustainable development and will help in protecting and
 preserving the environment.</p><p>Based out of Japan, is the
 competitive manufacturer of Marine Firetube and high efficiency Condensing
 Boilers as well as associated boiler room equipment for process steam, hot
 water, and waste recovery.</p><p>Green Energy Koyal Group Boiler

         <description><![CDATA[<p><p><a href="http://gekgi.com/">Green Energy Koyal Group Inc</a>&nbsp;– The National Green Tribunal recently announced that every household in the city of New Delhi will have to pay a minimum environment compensation of Rupee (Rs) 100 every month for producing sewage, regardless of whether or not they have a sewerage connection.</p><p>The funds collected from this compensation will be used to provide new sewage treatment plants (STPs) and other requirements as part of the NGT’s “Maili se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project 2017″.</p><p>The compensation will be directly proportional to the property or water tax, whichever is higher, paid by a particular household.</p><p>For those who reside in unauthorized colonies which do not pay property tax or water bill, the amount would be Rs 100 to Rs 500.</p><p>Municipal corporation employees will have to pay a fine of Rs 5,000 for throwing or dumping waste into the drains of New Delhi. These corporations will have to clean all the drains and they must also ensure that no illegal, unauthorized washing, running of dairies is allowed on the banks of the drains. All of this has to be finished within a month’s time.</p><p>“We direct Delhi government, Delhi Jal Board and all municipal corporations, Cantonment Board, electricity companies like BSES and other civic authorities to impose environmental compensation on every household which is generating sewage in the entire NCT of Delhi on the ‘Polluters Pay Principle’.”</p><p>The payment of environmental compensation will be added to the electricity bill, water bill and the property tax demand in order of preference by the respective departments which will transfer the money to NCT, Delhi.</p><p>The court also directed Delhi Jal Board to submit the complete action plan and time frame for completion of first phase of Maili se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project 2017 in one week.</p><p>“We will not grant any further extension and the erring officer would be personally liable for default,” the bench said while directing it complete this project as quickly as possible and whatever the case not later than 2016.</p><p>The tribunal said: “Of the entire pollution of Yamuna, 76 per cent is generated in NCT Delhi. Industrial effluents and untreated sewage are carried into the Yamuna and with passage of time; it has been converted into a stinking drain.”</p></p>]]></description>
