India’s Approach to Climate Change Mitigation
Amit Garg
Presentation forInternational Climate Change Conference, Johannesburg
October 19, 2005
The Setting
India is a vast country (3.28 million sq km, over a billion people)
Vast sectoral and regional diversity in GHG emissions
Occupies 2.4% of the world’s land area but supports 16.2% of the world’s human population
Emitted 1205 million ton CO2-equivalent in 1994 and 1522 million ton CO2-equivalent in 2000
Emission growth rates are declining
Under such diverse natural conditions, a billion people speaking different languages, following different religions, inhabiting in rural and urban areas live in harmony under a democratic system

Potential for 130 Mt-CO2 emission mitigation per yearSource: Compiled from India’s Initial National Communication, 2002
Climate Friendly Initiatives
This ambitious Project:• improves driving conditions drastically• reduces traffic congestions• thus results in lower fuel consumption
Converting 13,146 km of existing road networks and 1000 km of port and other connectivity into four/ six-lane highways.
Cost US$ 11.8 billion
Annual socio-economic benefits estimated at US$ 2 billion/ year
National Highway Development Project
Estimated to result in about 3.2 million ton CO2 emission mitigation per year
Metro Rail in Large Cities
The Metro Rail in New Delhi uses state-of-the-art technology and would:• reduce congestion on roads• road to rail modal switching• save fuel• reduce local pollutants and GHG emissions
Eight other large Indian cities have also started similar projects
Biofuels – Ethanol and Biodiesel
Ethanol• At Present 5% Blend with gasoline will require 500 million liters
per year• 10% Blend will require 1.2 billion liters by 2006-07• 20% Blend will require 4 billion liters by 2012
2.5 Mt-CO2 mitigation per year by 2006-078 Mt-CO2 mitigation per year by 2012

Biodiesel: Indian Demand Profile
* Planning Commission EstimatesAbout 7 Mt-CO2 mitigation in 2006-07
We have nearly 60 million hectares of wasteland, of which 30 million hectares are available for energy plantations like 'Jatropha'. Once grown, the crop has a life of 50 years. Each acre will produce about 2 ton of bio-diesel at about Rs. 20 per liter. Bio-diesel is carbon neutral and many valuable by-products flow from this agro-industry. Intensive research is needed to burn bio-fuel in internal combustion engines with high efficiency
and this needs to be an urgent R&D program. India has the potential to produce nearly 60 million ton of biofuels annually, thus making a significant and important contribution to the goal of energy independence.

Efficient and Cleaner Road Transport
Euro II equivalent standards in force now, Euro III from 2006 and Euro IV from 2008
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for all public transport in the 2 largest Indian cities - Delhi and Mumbai
CNG in other large cities, like Pune, Kanpur, Lucknow, Agra, Bareilly and Faridabad, over the next 2 years
Auto LPG is also being supplied in the 10 most polluted cities of India - Agra, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune
REVA: The indigenously built electric car is commercially available
Climate Friendly Policy Reforms
The momentous economy wide reforms initiated in India in 1991 embraced the variety of sectors and activities that emit greenhouse gases as well as other pollutants.
• Energy Conservation Act 2001• Energy consumption norms for each industry• Energy labeling and standards for all electrical appliances• Establish energy efficient-building codes• Bureau of Energy Efficiency established
• Power sector reforms• Major thrust area• Electricity Act 2003• Generation, transmission and distribution unbundled
Climate Friendly Policy Reforms (contd.)• Power sector initiatives
• Super critical technology for NTPC mega power plants• IGCC (2 plants of 100 MW each) planned• Enhance hydro share to 27% by 2012 (add 32 GW hydro capacity by 2012 and 50 GW by 2017)
• Hydrocarbon sector reforms• Pricing reforms – dismantling of Administered Price Mechanism since 2002• Petroleum product pipeline policy • Auto fuel policy (efficient vehicles and cleaner fuels)
• Coal sector reforms• Pricing reforms - Colliery Control Order (2000), the prices for all grades of coking and non-coking coal have been deregulated• Coal bed methane exploitation• Privatizing of coal mining is under active consideration• R&D on CO2 capture and storage
Population Policy
Population control and family welfare policies have indirectly contributed to GHG emission abatement.
Population policy has resulted in reducing births by almost 40 million during the last 30 years.
At present average GHG emissions of 1.5 ton-CO2 equivalent per capita per year, this translates into 60 Mt-CO2 equivalent mitigation per year.
Carbon emissions =
Carbon intensity of energy X Energy intensity of GDP X Per capita GDP X Population
Renewable Energy
India has one of the most active renewable energy programmes in the world
3.26 million biogas plants34.3 million improved wood-burning stovesSolar (details on next slide) Wind (1507 MW – fifth in the world)Biomass (358 MW)Small, mini and micro-hydro (1406 MW)Municipal solid waste (15 MW)Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (140 MW) naphtha and solar based

Carbon Emissions ( Million Ton) Climate friendly initiatives have contributed to 410 Mt-CO2 mitigation during 1991-2000
Mitigate 8 Bt-CO2 over 2000-2030 to transit from BAU to Alternate developmental pathway
Welfare loss due to;
• Mitigation costs
• Other development paradigms follow BAU scenario (and not Alternate)
Better to follow climate friendly development path from the beginning
