Overview

Fuel combustion activities represent a substantial portion of Gujarat’s emissions, primarily driven by electricity generation, transport, and industrial processes. Data availability for coal- and gas-powered electricity generation is relatively straightforward, however decentralized energy systems face more challenges due to significant data gaps. Additionally, the absence of disaggregated fuel consumption data across key sectors—transport, electricity, and manufacturing—hampers the precision of emissions inventories. Strengthening data collection and reporting mechanisms is critical to enhancing inventory accuracy and aligning with IPCC.

Key Highlights

Fuel combustion activities in Gujarat are primarily driven by coal, with electricity generation, transport, and manufacturing as the key contributors to emissions.

Significant data gaps exist, particularly regarding decentralized power generation, disaggregated fuel consumption across sectors, and waterborne navigation emissions.
