1. Assessment of GHG Emissions in India KiranRadhakrishnan Vineet Sharma

2. Outline of Presentation

4. The paper aims to measure GHG emissions and sector wise contributions byestimating these values for the466 districts in India

5. For each source category, andfor CO2, CH4 & N2O emissions,a district “rank list” was made

7. Oil Products and Natural Gas Combustion

8. Oil and Natural Gas Extraction/Refining/Processing

9. Coal Mining

10. Transport (Road and Rail)

11. Electric Power Generation

12. Steel

14. Methodology  Emission Coefficients are based on carbon content of fuels – specified within IPCC Guidelines IPCC Tier I (for emissions from animal manure mgmt.) and Tier II (for emissions from enteric fermentation) methodologies are taken into account for estimation of methane emissions from livestock.

16. MSW methane emissions - only urban is accounted for

20. Coal – 73% of total emissions

21. UP, MP, AP, Maharashtra, TN – most coal consuming states – shows similar trend for CO2 emissions too

25. Delhi reduced emissions - decreased coal use

27. The national methane emission profile is agriculture dominant and is evenly spread across the country with the Gangetic plains and delta areas, coastal Maharashtra, TN and AP contributing most.

32. India’s emissions – only 2.7% of total emissions

33. 25 Hotspot districts account for more than 37% of CO2 emissions

36. Transport sector – 9.5% CO2e emissions widely dispersed – mitigation may not be cost effective – steps to improve fuel quality – improve local emission levels

38. Heat rate reduction

39. Better excess air control

40. Better maintenance

41. Reducing transmission/distribution losses

42. Efficiency improvement measures in other energy-intensive industries

44. Electricity power generation, steel and cement sectors – largest emitters – high growth rates too.

45. Transport – does not contribute as much but still affects local pollution

46. Urban emission – industry and transport

47. Rural emission – agricultural sources
