This book analyzes the current approaches to energy management in
India that is based on a carbon-intensive pathway, which if
continued, may have serious implications for climate change
mitigation with severe consequences for human health and survival.
India, being a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris
Agreement, is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions;
however, the country's dilemmas are whether to prioritize
environment over economy or vice versa and also whether economic
growth can be sustained by relying on carbon-intensive development.
Those are explored in this book. The Indian economy is poised for a
big leap in the near future, and the topmost priority of the
government is to ensure energy security, accessibility, and
affordability for nearly 1.5 billion people. Currently, 70% of
India's electricity generation comes from coal- and oil-based
thermal power plants, and only 12-15% of energy is generated from
renewable sources. Experts are of the view that the demand for coal
and gas power generation will continue to rise and is expected to
reach the equivalent of nearly 2 billion t of oil by 2030. The
annual consumption of natural gas is expected to increase fourfold
to 200 billion m3 a year in the near future, and its share in the
primary energy basket of coal, oil, and gas will rise from 6.5% to
15% by 2030. This will not only cause a significant drain on
foreign reserves but will also pose an enormous challenge to
policymakers and scientists. This book serves as a useful guide in
shaping India's future energy policy.
