CSIR-CLRI develops digital platform CLI-MATE for Carbon Footprint assessment for leather industry

Chennai, Nov 14 (UNI) India's premier government-funded and multi-disciplinary R and D units, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) have developed a sector-specific unified digital platform
“CLI-MATE for Carbon Footprint Assessment for the Leather Industry and Waste Treatment Systems."
CLI-MATE is an Indian software product, developed to support leather processing industries in assessing the carbon footprint associated with various unit processes involved in leather manufacturing and related waste treatment operations.
In the present context, leather manufacturing units are increasingly required to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable production, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, resource efficiency and climate-responsive manufacturing. CLI-MATE has been designed to assist tanneries in this endeavour by enabling process-wise carbon footprint assessments across various leather manufacturing operations.
The tool helps industries understand their current carbon emission levels and identify specific stages or unit operations that contribute significantly to their overall carbon footprint. The structured outputs generated by the platform enable tanneries to identify emission hotspots, assess carbon reduction potential and plan appropriate interventions to reduce the carbon footprint of leather manufacturing.
The CSIR-CLRI also announced the signing of a Technology Transfer Agreement with TALCO–Dindigul Tanners Enviro Control Systems Pvt. Ltd. (TALCO-DINTEC) for the transfer of CLI-MATE, a carbon footprint assessment tool.
Dr.P.Thanikaivelan, Director, CSIR-CLRI, and C.K.C.M.Mahaboob Subahani, Chairman, TALCO-DINTEC, exchanged the agreement during the Outreach-cum-Interactive Meeting for Leather Clusters in the Southern Region, held at Dindigul.
The agreement exchange took place in the presence of M. Abdul Wahab, Managing Director, KH Group and Regional Chairman, CLE Southern Region; Ateequr Rahman, Chairman, IFLMEA; and G.Mohamed Jahan, Secretary, IFLMEA.
TALCO-DINTEC will use CLI-MATE to assess the carbon footprint of its Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), which serves the Dindigul leather cluster.
