Carnataka greenhouse gas emissions could exceed 400 million tonnes (MT) by 2050, the new report of the CSEP non -profit research organization.
Although emissions could exceed 400 MT by 2050, emissions may be reduced to 50 MT, especially electrification, renewable energy and interventions on the side of demand, a report called “Namma Safari: Low -Carbon Party for Karnataka,” she said.
Six key factors
Namma Safari is the first integrated dynamic model of Karnataka, mapping of long-term interactions across six key sectors-energy, transport, industry, buildings, agriculture and land use of 2050.
“The model projects the Karnataka population by 2050 exceeds 75 million, with its gross state product (GSDP) rising to 128 Lakh Crore (constant prices in 2011).
The report also stressed that in the building sector, by 2050, the demand for electricity could reach 40% of total use.
Role of industry
He also stated that the industry is the largest contributor to the demand and electricity emissions. “In order to guarantee demand and manage savings of the scope, a minimum share of (~ 25%) of public infrastructure projects that will use certified green cement or steel, together with preferential prices for compliance, would increase investments in low-carbon production.
Other peaks of the report are agriculture currently using ~ 30% of the state electricity; Demand decreases to zero in a low -carbon case through irrigation outside the network. “Increasing the minimum price coverage for crops, such as millet, impulses and oil seeds (currently only 8%), will support this shift,” Ctep said.
“For transport, 33% of the cargo on the railway by 2030 could save 50 liters of Crore per year. Electrification will double the energy demand on ~ 54.5 TWh by 2050.
