Chapter one discusses India's current carbon footprint, the drivers that will contribute to growth in Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, the objectives of the study, and the scope and methodology of the analytical approach. Chapter two provides an overview of each of the sectors covered by the study, along with their respective specific challenges and past performance, and the modeling approach adopted in the study. Chapters three, four, and five provide the specific assumptions and findings of the three scenarios: (1) scenario one, alternatively called five year plans scenario, assumes full implementation of the five year plans and other projections and plans by the government of India; (2) scenario two, alternatively called delayed implementation, more closely follows historical performance in implementation of the five year plans; (3) scenario three, or all-out stretch scenario, adds to scenario one additional steps to increase energy efficiency and low-carbon energy sources Sensitivity analysis is conducted on each scenario. Chapter six provides a brief comparison of the results of the three scenarios, and chapter seven concludes with a brief description of the challenges of low-carbon development in India.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYAFFORESTATIONAIRAIR QUALITYALUMINUMAMOUNT OF POWERAPPROACHASHAUXILIARY POWERAUXILIARY POWER CONSUMPTIONAVAILABILITYBALANCEBIOMASSBIOMASS SOURCECALCULATIONCALORIFIC VALUECALORIFIC VALUESCAPACITY INVESTMENTSCAPITAL COSTCARBONCARBON CAPTURECARBON DIOXIDECARBON ECONOMYCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON ENERGYCARBON FINANCECARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON INTENSITYCARBON LOSSESCARBON PATHCARBON TECHNOLOGIESCEMENTCEMENT INDUSTRYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOCO2COALCOAL CONSUMPTIONCOAL POWER PLANTSCOAL PRICECOAL RESERVESCOAL RESOURCESCOAL SUPPLYCOAL USECOALSCOLORSCOMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION EFFICIENCYCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCONDITIONERSCONSUMER OF COALCONSUMER OF ENERGYCOST-BENEFITCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISDEMAND FOR ENERGYDEMAND MANAGEMENTDIESELDIESEL USEDISTRIBUTION LOSSESDOMESTIC COALDOMESTIC ENERGYDOMESTIC ENERGY RESOURCESDOMESTIC GASDOMESTIC OILECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC WATER HEATERSELECTRICITYELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRICEELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRIFICATIONEMISSIONEMISSION CHARACTERISTICSEMISSION INTENSITYEMISSION LEVELSEMISSION PROFILEEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTION POTENTIALEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM ENERGYEMISSIONS FROM ENERGY USEEMISSIONS FROM FUELEMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTIONEMISSIONS FROM TRANSPORTEMISSIONS INTENSITYEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY COSTSENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDSENERGY INTENSITYENERGY MIXENERGY NEEDSENERGY POLICIESENERGY POLICYENERGY PRICESENERGY REQUIREMENTSENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SAVINGSENERGY SHORTAGESENERGY SOURCESENERGY SUPPLYENERGY SYSTEMENERGY USEFEASIBILITYFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL CRISISFLUORESCENT LAMPSFORESTRYFORESTSFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL MIXFOSSIL FUELSFROSTFUEL TYPEFUEL USEGAS EXPLORATIONGAS FIELDSGASOLINEGENERATING CAPACITYGENERATION CAPACITYGHGGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGRID ELECTRICITYGRID POWERGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH IN DEMANDHEAVY INDUSTRYHEAVY RELIANCEHIGH ASH CONTENTHOUSEHOLD ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONHYDRO POWERHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER GENERATIONIMPROVEMENTS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCYINCOMEIRONKEROSENEKILOWATT-HOURKILOWATT-HOURSLEVEL OF TRANSMISSIONLIQUEFIED NATURAL GASLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLOAD FACTORLOW-CARBONMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMINERAL MATTERMOISTURE CONTENTNATIONAL EMISSIONSNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS IMPORTSNATURAL GAS PRICESNITROUS OXIDENUCLEAR EQUIPMENTNUCLEAR FUELNUCLEAR POWERNUCLEAR POWER PLANTSOILOIL PRICESPEAK POWERPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIESPETROCHEMICALSPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPETROLEUM REFININGPETROLEUM SECTORPIPELINEPOLLUTANTSPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER GENERATORSPOWER INDUSTRYPOWER PLANTPOWER PLANTSPOWER PRICESPOWER PRODUCERSPOWER SECTORPOWER STATIONSPOWER SUPPLYPRESENT VALUEPRICES OF COALPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONPRIMARY ENERGY SUPPLYQUALITY OF ENERGYRAW MATERIALSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRELIABILITY OF SUPPLYRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIALRENEWABLE POWERRESIDENTIAL ENERGYRICE PRODUCTIONRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONSCENARIOSSENSITIVITY ANALYSESSOLAR POWERSTEAM TEMPERATURESSULPHURSULPHUR CONTENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTHERMAL EFFICIENCYTOTAL COSTTOTAL EMISSIONSTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORT SECTORUTILITIESVEHICLESVOLATILE MATTERVOLTAGEWINDWIND POWERWOOD PRODUCTSWorld Bank10.1596/2798
