A briefing note has been published on Energy Intensive Sectors of the Indian Economy | Path to Low Carbon Development, a study specifically requested by the Government of India to help identify low carbon growth opportunities for India and contribute to global climate change mitigation. The study describes potential emission trajectories to 2031. It uses an innovative bottom-up, engineering-style model to examine CO2 emissions for different scenarios or potential “carbon futures” for India. The report explores how total emissions might evolve under different assumptions about energy supply and demand drivers, in different sectors of the economy.
