Carbon Emissions:Technology Mitigation Options through 2030

This presentation provides an analytical overview of greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector in India and examines technology-based mitigation options through 2030, drawing primarily on International Energy Agency modeling scenarios. It situates India’s transport emissions within global trends, highlighting projected growth under baseline and alternative scenarios and the relative contribution of efficiency improvements and fuel shifts. The document outlines mitigation pathways structured around avoiding travel, shifting modes, and improving vehicle technologies, with detailed attention to internal combustion engine efficiency, hybridization, biofuels, and electric vehicles. It assesses likely technology adoption in India, key policy and market drivers, fuel economy standards, and constraints related to electricity carbon intensity, concluding with quantified emission reduction potentials across vehicle categories.
