Despite high emission growth rate, India라이브 바카라 per capita carbon emission is still one-eighth of the US, and one-third of global average
India is recording the highest growth rate in carbon emission among the world라이브 바카라 major warming contributors, even as its per capita carbon emission remains significantly lower than many developed and developing nations, revealed a report titled Global Carbon Budget, published during the ongoing COP27 climate conference in Egypt on Friday. 바카라 웹사이트
According to the report라이브 바카라 estimates, in 2022, China and the European Union (EU) are projected to reduce their emissions by .9 per cent and .8 per cent, respectively, while India라이브 바카라 emissions are to increase by 6 per cent바카라 웹사이트and the US라이브 바카라 by 1.5 per cent. The increase for the rest of the countries together was projected at 1.7 per cent.바카라 웹사이트
In the last 10 years, India and China have recorded the highest emission growth rate, the report pointed out. “China라이브 바카라 emissions increased by 1.5 per cent바카라 웹사이트per year on average over the last 10 years, dominating the global trend, and India라이브 바카라 emissions increased by 3.8% per year, while emissions decreased in the EU by 1.8 per cent바카라 웹사이트per year and in the US by 1.1 per cent바카라 웹사이트per year,” it said.바카라 웹사이트
The report, involving an international team of more than 100 scientists, has been produced by Global Carbon Project, a research project working to quantify global greenhouse gas emissions and identify their causes.
While India continues to be the fourth largest global emitter, after China (31 per cent), the US (14 per cent), and the European Union, a media release regarding the report showed that India has nearly matched the share of the European Union made of 27 countries. India라이브 바카라 total emissions in 2021 have been pegged at 2.7 billion tonnes, which is slightly below the EU라이브 바카라 total of 2.8 billion tonnes. India라이브 바카라 2021 share of global emissions stood at 7.5 per cent, marginally below the EU라이브 바카라 7.7 per cent. In 2022, India라이브 바카라 share is projected to reach 8 per cent.
However, despite India라이브 바카라 relatively higher emission growth rate, the country라이브 바카라 per capita emission is still substantially lower than the three other major contributors.바카라 웹사이트
In the list of top 20 global emitters in 2021, India라이브 바카라 per capita emission of 1.9 tonnes in 2021 stood right at the bottom, even behind Indonesia (2.3), Brazil (2.3), Mexico (3.2), and Vietnam (3.3), said a media release distributed on the occasion of the launch of the report. Saudi Arabia (18.7), the US (14.9), Australia (15.1), Canada (14.3), Russia (12.1), and South Korea (11.9) are the countries with the highest per capita emissions.바카라 웹사이트
This means people in India, on average, have less access to power when compared to other major developed or developing regions.바카라 웹사이트
Even going by per capita emission from fossil fuel alone, India stands far below. “The per capita fossil CO2 emissions in 2021 were 1.3 tC per person per year for the globe and were 4.0 (USA), 2.2 (China), 1.7 (EU27), and 0.5 (India) tC per person per year for the four highest-emitting countries,” the report said. 바카라 웹사이트
The report said that globally, fossil CO2 emissions growth is slowing, owing to the emergence of climate policy and technological change, leading to a shift from coal to gas, growth in renewable energies, and reduced expansion of coal capacity. Nevertheless, 2022 records an increase in fossil CO2 emissions over 2021, currently standing slightly above the pre-Covid-19-pandemic level. 바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“Global carbon emissions in 2022 remain at record levels – with no sign of the decrease that is urgently needed to limit warming to 1.5°C… If current emissions levels persist, there is now a 50 per cent바카라 웹사이트chance that global warming of 1.5°C will be exceeded in nine years,” 바카라 웹사이트the media release said.바카라 웹사이트
According to Pierre Friedlingstein, the lead author of the report, despite some observable positive signs, leaders meeting at COP27 will have to take meaningful action to have any chance of limiting global warming close to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.바카라 웹사이트
“The Global Carbon Budget numbers monitor the progress on climate action and right now we are not seeing the action required,” said Friedlingstein, a Fellow of the Royal Society who holds a Chair in Mathematical Modelling of the Climate System at the University of Exeter.
It projected global emissions to increase in 2022 by 1 per cent바카라 웹사이트above 2021, with 2.2 per cent바카라 웹사이트increase in emissions from oil and 1 per바카라 웹사이트 cent바카라 웹사이트increase from coal, while emissions from natural gasses and cement are projected to slightly decrease.
However, for India, emission from natural gasses is projected to decrease by 4% but emissions from coal, oil and cement are likely to increase by 5 per cent, 10 per cent, and 10 per cent, respectively. It라이브 바카라 the increase from coal that principally drives India라이브 바카라 emission increase, a media release regarding the report said. The decline in emissions from natural gas contributes little to the total change as gas is a small part of the energy mix in India.
Speaking to 바카라 about the data presented by the reports, energy economist Vibhuti Garg said that India라이브 바카라 higher carbon emission is “very much linked to India라이브 바카라 higher GDP growth rate.”바카라 웹사이트
“India's GDP is growing at 7-8 per cent바카라 웹사이트annually and is likely to grow by 6-7 per cent바카라 웹사이트in the next few years. This economic growth is driven by industrialisation and urbanisation, which is putting more pressure on energy demand. Given India has its own domestic coal resources, it is exploiting and mining more such resources,” said Garg, South Asia director at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA),바카라 웹사이트
According to her, India, with its increasing population and urbanisation and industrialisation, needs to make sustainable energy choices, meeting the increasing energy demands through a low-carbon pathway.바카라 웹사이트
“India, while not compromising energy security and other social objectives, should increasingly look at harnessing local renewable energy resources. Also, India has to import more than 80 per cent바카라 웹사이트of its oil and 50 per cent바카라 웹사이트of gas, which in the last few months have proven to be expensive and unreliable. Generation based on fossil fuels is expensive and carbon-intensive. India can leapfrog in building clean energy alternatives to meet its energy demand,” she said.바카라 웹사이트
India, in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts, has pledged to “reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45 per cent by 2030, from 2005 level, and achieve about 50 percent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.”바카라 웹사이트
Given that India라이브 바카라 Central Electricity Authority projected the country라이브 바카라 cumulative installed capacity to be at 817 gigawatts (GW) in 2030, the country should have about 410 GW of installed capacity from renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, large hydro and biomass projects. Given that India라이브 바카라 renewable energy installed capacity stood at 160 GW in June, the country will need to increase it by two and a half times by the next eight years.바카라 웹사이트
Meanwhile, the installed capacity of power from coal is also likely to increase by 56 GW – from 210gw in June to 266gw in 2029-30.바카라 웹사이트
The Global Carbon Budget report, however, shows that India is not the only country where emissions from coal are projected to increase. “Coal emissions (41 per cent바카라 웹사이트of global emissions) are projected to rise 1.0 per cent, with rises in India, the European Union, and the rest of the world, partly compensated by a drop in the USA and China,” it said.바카라 웹사이트
