Energy Sector
Energy sector emission estimations consider emissions from fuel combustion and use in electricity
generation, captive
power plants, industries, transport, residential, commercial, agriculture and fisheries categories as well
as fugitive
emissions from fuel production, as per IPCC 2006 guidelines. Together these constitute over 83% of India's
emissions in
2018.
To the greatest degree possible, the data utilized was obtained from public sources. Assumptions and
methodology have
been made public for further investigation. The effort would serve as the foundation for measuring India's
climate
performance and stimulating data-driven policy decisions.
The lead sector partner for Energy Sector Emissions Estimates is the Center for Study of Science,
Technology and Policy
(CSTEP). The energy emissions attributable to industrial production were estimated by the Council on
Energy, Environment
and Water (CEEW) and the energy emissions from Captive Power Plants were estimated by Vasudha Foundation.

- This sheet of Energy sector estimates of Phase-IV include emissions estimation due to fuel combustion in categories such as public electricity generation and energy sectors; residential, commercial, transport, fisheries and agriculture energy use. The note also includes estimation of emissions from fuel production (prepared by CSTEP)
- Other energy categories, such as – Captive Power Plants estimates (prepared by Vasudha Foundation) are provided under this “energy tab” and the estimates on Industrial energy (prepared by CEEW) are available under the “Industry tab”.
- The consolidated estimates from all the energy categories are provided in the economy-wide sheet under the “economy-wide” tab.
- Phases III to I emissions estimates sheets are under the” resources tab”
