The study was requested by the Government of India to develop the analytical capacity for identifying low carbon growth opportunities up to the end of the 15th Five Year Plan (March 2032) in major sectors of the economy; and to facilitate informed decision making by improving the knowledge base and raising national and international awareness of India efforts to address global climate change. The study uses an innovative engineering based, bottom up model to examine CO2 emissions from energy use during 2007 to 2031. It focuses on sectors and areas that are expected to contribute significantly to India's future growth in CO2 emissions. The report received significant support from ministries and agencies of the Government of India, including the planning commission, the ministry of environment and forests, and the ministry of power, the central electricity authority, and the bureau of energy efficiency.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAFFORESTATIONAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYALUMINUMANNUAL GROWTH RATEAVAILABILITYBARRELS PER DAYBARRIERS TO ENERGY EFFICIENCYBIOMASSBUSESCAPACITY INVESTMENTSCAPITAL COSTCARCAR OWNERSHIPCARBONCARBON CAPTURECARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON ENERGYCARBON FINANCECARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON INTENSITYCARBON PATHCARBON TECHNOLOGIESCARSCEMENTCLEAN COALCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCOCO2COALCOAL PLANTSCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCOMMERCIAL VEHICLESCONGESTIONCOST-BENEFITCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCUMULATIVE EMISSIONSDEMAND FOR ELECTRICITYDEMAND FOR TRANSPORTDEMAND MANAGEMENTDIESELDIESEL USEDISTRIBUTION LOSSESDOMESTIC ENERGYDOMESTIC ENERGY RESOURCESDRIVERSECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSELASTICITIESELASTICITYELASTICITY OF DEMANDELECTRIC APPLIANCESELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC WATER HEATERSELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CAPACITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY INDUSTRYELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRICITY USEEMISSIONEMISSION CHARACTERISTICSEMISSION INTENSITYEMISSION LEVELSEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSION TRAJECTORIESEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM ENERGYEMISSIONS FROM ENERGY USEEMISSIONS FROM FUELEMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTIONEMISSIONS FROM POWER GENERATIONEMISSIONS FROM ROADEMISSIONS FROM ROAD TRANSPORTEMISSIONS INTENSITYEMISSIONS PER PASSENGEREMISSIONS STANDARDSEND-USERSENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY COSTSENERGY DEFICITENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURESENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDSENERGY INTENSITYENERGY INTENSIVEENERGY INTENSIVE MANUFACTURINGENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SECURITYENERGY SHORTAGESENERGY SOURCESENERGY SUPPLYENERGY SYSTEMENERGY USAGEFEASIBILITYFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL CRISISFLOOR AREAFLOOR SPACEFORESTRYFORESTSFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL POWERFOSSIL FUEL USEFOSSIL FUELSFREIGHTFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUEL ECONOMYGAS FIELDSGASOLINEGENERATION CAPACITYGHGGHGSGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGRID ELECTRICITYGRID POWERGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH IN DEMANDGROWTH IN ENERGY DEMANDHOUSEHOLD ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD FUELIMPROVEMENTS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCYINCOMEINCOME HOUSEHOLDSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYIRONKILOWATT HOURLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLOCAL AIR POLLUTIONLOCAL AIR QUALITYLONG-DISTANCELOW-CARBONMASS TRANSITMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMODAL SHIFTNATIONAL EMISSIONSNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESNEW PLANTSNITROUS OXIDENUCLEAR ENERGYNUCLEAR PLANTSNUCLEAR POWEROILOIL PRICESPASSENGER TRAFFICPASSENGER-KILOMETERPASSENGERSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIESPETROCHEMICALSPETROLEUMPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPOPULATION GROWTHPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER GENERATORSPOWER PLANTSPOWER SECTORPOWER SUPPLYPRESENT VALUEPUBLIC TRANSPORTRAILREDUCTION IN CARBONREDUCTION IN EMISSIONSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE POWERRESIDENTIAL SECTORSRICE PRODUCTIONROADROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT EMISSIONSROADSROUTESCENARIOSSENSITIVITY ANALYSESSMALL HYDROPOWERSOLAR POWERSTEAM TEMPERATURESSUPPLY SIDESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTHERMAL EFFICIENCYTOTAL COSTTOTAL DEMANDTOTAL EMISSIONSTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SECTOR EMISSIONSTRANSPORTATIONTRUCKSURBAN POPULATIONVEHICLEVEHICLE FUELVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLE SIZEVEHICLESWINDWIND POWERWOOD PRODUCTS10.1596/17944
