| Summary: | Energy Intensive Sectors of the Indian
Economy: Path to Low Carbon Development is the product of a
collaborative effort between the World Bank and the
Government of India, under the overall leadership of the
Planning Commission and the Ministry of Power, and with the
financial assistance of the Department for International
Development (DFID) and the Energy Sector Management
Assistance Program (ESMAP). The study was requested by the
Government of India to develop the analytical capacity for
identifying low carbon growth opportunities up to the end of
the 15th Five Year Plan (March 2032) in major sectors of the
economy; and to facilitate informed decision making by
improving the knowledge base and raising national and
international awareness of India efforts to address global
climate change. The study uses an innovative engineering
based, bottom up model to examine CO2 emissions from energy
use during 2007 to 2031. It focuses on sectors and areas
that are expected to contribute significantly to
India's future growth in CO2 emissions. The report
received significant support from ministries and agencies of
the Government of India, including the planning commission,
the ministry of environment and forests, and the ministry of
power, the central electricity authority, and the bureau of
energy efficiency. |
