    This document summarizes preliminary findings from a study on low-carbon development pathways for energy intensive sectors in India's economy. It finds that India's CO2 emissions are projected to increase substantially by 2031 under a business-as-usual scenario but could be reduced by aggressively implementing energy efficiency measures, renewable energy sources, and electrification of transport. Success requires large-scale changes across many sectors and institutions. While the challenges are significant, opportunities exist to improve energy access and meet development needs at lower carbon costs through transformative clean energy options.

    Options for Low-Carbon Development (LCD) Low Carbon Preliminary Findings

    PATHWAYS FOR LOW CARBON GROWTH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Copenhagen, Denmark December 11, 2009

    Indias Current Carbon Footprint


    India i I di is among the top 10 emitters of CO2 th t itt f
    due to the size of its economy and population, but per capita CO2 emissions from fuel combustion (2007)

    India 1.2 tonnes vs. global average of 4.4 tonnes d 2 l b l f India one of 20 countries exhibiting successive decline over two subperiods

    CO2 emission intensity of GDP (PPP) on par with global average

    Indias development needs are massive:


    400 million people who still lack access to electricity 456 million living at $1 25 a day (in 2005, U S dollars at PPP). $1.25 2005 U.S. PPP) 2007 electrical energy deficit of about 10 percent and peak shortages over 17 percent Two thirds of households rely on biomass for cooking One third of households rely on kerosene for lighting

    Electricity supply is inadequate and unreliable


    India Has a Scarcity of Clean and Primary Fuels


    Current i t ll d capacity of 145 GW of which 77 GW (53 %) is coal-fired C t installed it f f hi h i l fi d India has plans to maximize all sources of renewable energy by 2032, and significantly increase the share of clean energy such as nuclear and solar

    Emerging Conclusions and Implications on Growth


    Vast expansion needs for power generation V i d f i
    4 to 6 times 2007 levels by 2031 More than 5 times 2007 levels by 2031

    Explosive growth in transport fuel needs as a natural consequence of income growth and greater availability and delivery of basic services Despite Indian consumption expected to remain frugal:
    Richest third of urban households in 2031 consuming one third of the EU average current electricity consumption Per capita consumption of the industry products in 2030 no higher than per capita world production in 2006 Car ownership in 2031 of 86 / 1000, significantly lower than 300 765 / 1000 observed in most high-income countries today

    Emerging Conclusions a d Implications o e g g Co c us o s and p cat o s on Development


    Success f S factors f a l for lower-carbon development in all b d l i ll major sectors include:
    Comprehensive and large-scale changes in investment, p g g , performance, and governance, particularly in the power sector Improvement in implementation achievement targets Strong coordination of institutions across all levels of governmentfederal, state, and municipal Enhanced performance of the relevant institutions Setting up a reliable monitoring and evaluation system one can anticipate even faster emissions growth over time compared to Scenario 2 where CO2e emissions increase from 1.1 billion tonnes to 4.7 billion tonnes from 2007 to 2031.

    Without any of the above elements,

    Emerging Conclusions and Implications on Transport


    Mitigation i Mi i i is particularly difficult i l l diffi l
    Due to low private vehicle ownership rates coupled with exploding urban populations and rapid economic growth How it is implemented today will lock India into development pathways that may be difficult to change Difficult but fundamental changes that transform land use and transit policies i li i Adoption of high fuel economy and tight local emission standards, critical for new vehicles

    Emerging Conclusions a d Implications o C ea e g g Co c us o s and p cat o s on Clean Energy


    The fi di Th findings in this study underscore the challenge of expanding i thi t d d th h ll f di energy access and meeting energy needs, at affordable costs, and with limited global environmental impact within the menu of technological options currently available Study does not allow making conclusive statements about the costs of achieving different future carbon trajectories
    But h B t shows possibilities for significant improvements in energy ibiliti f i ifi ti t i efficiency in many sectors, with low or potentially negligible costs

    Decision makers in India will have to carefully consider the costs, benefits and risks of different transformative cleaner-energy transformative options, notably
    enhance regional trade in cleaner energy sources Deploy aggressively new and emerging carbon-neutral energy sources
