Whilst emissions of CO2 in India will increase by a factor of four under the reference scenario, under the energy [r]evolution scenario they will remain at the 2003 level of 1,100 million tonnes. Annual per capita emissions will fall from 0.8 t to 0.5 t. In spite of the phasing out of nuclear energy and increasing demand, CO2 emissions will decrease in the electricity sector. After 2010, efficiency gains and the increased use of renewables in industry will also compensate for growing emissions in other sectors. Although its share is decreasing, the power sector will remain the largest source of CO2 emissions in India, contributing 50% of the total in 2050.
