Moving from principles to action for energy supply that mitigates against climate change requires a long-term perspective. Energy infrastructure takes time to build up; new energy technologies take time to develop. Policy shifts often also need many years to take effect.

development of CO2 emissions

Whilst India’s emissions of CO2 will almost triple under the Reference scenario, under the Energy [R]evolution scenario they will increase from 1,307 million tonnes in 2007 to 1,620 mt in 2050. Annual per capita emissions will drop from 1.1 t to 1 t.

The advanced Energy [R]evolution scenario will shift the peak of energy related CO2 emissions to more than 10 years earlier than in the basic version, leading to 0.9 t per capita by 2030 and 0.3 t by 2050. By 2050, India ́s CO2 emissions will be 85% of 1990 levels.
