Overview

The energy sector, a key driver of the Gujarat’s economy, is a major source of emissions, resulting from fuel combustion activities like electricity generation and transportation, and fugitive emissions from fuel extraction and processing.

Coal consumption data for Gujarat’s thermal power generation is readily available. However, similar data from decentralized plants remain largely inaccessible, complicating accurate reporting under IPCC guidelines. Additionally, the absence of reliable data from the disaggregated end use of fuel and the petroleum refining industry underscores the need to enhance data collection mechanisms to ensure a more accurate emissions inventory.

Key Highlights

The electricity sector leads emissions with 65% of the total energy emissions, followed by transport, manufacturing, residential, and other sectors, with steady growth across all but the residential sector.

Limited data on decentralized power generation, coal use, and disaggregated fuel consumption affects the accuracy of emissions reporting.

Renewable energy policies aim to curb power sector emissions, but rising electricity and transport demand seem to offset potential gains.
