Residential Sector<br />

<strong>Energy</strong> consumption in the residential sector grew on average by 1.6% per<br />

year in 1990-2005 and is projected to maintain this growth rate from 2005<br />

to 2030. 12 Its share of total final consumption will decrease from 44% in<br />

2005 to 29% in 2030. Higher incomes and urbanisation progressively reduce<br />

reliance on traditional biomass, including fuel wood, dung and agricultural<br />

waste. These resources dominate residential energy consumption today,<br />

accounting for 79% of residential energy demand. That share drops to 59%<br />

in 2030. They are replaced by more efficient fuels – liquefied petroleum gas<br />

(LPG), kerosene, gas and electricity (Figure 16.6). 13 Biomass use will<br />

nonetheless remain the primary fuel in rural households, with associated<br />

damage to the health of women and children from indoor air pollution (see<br />

Chapter 20).<br />

An aggregate analysis of household energy consumption in India masks very<br />

wide differences in the consumption pattern of rural and urban households.<br />

12. The growth rate of residential energy demand, excluding biomass, is 4.3% per year from 2005 to 2030. The<br />

use of traditional biomass is very inefficient so that its replacement offsets the growth in energy demand as<br />

incomes rise.<br />

13. Biogas is also cleaner and more efficient, but its use today is limited. India’s National Biogas and Manure<br />

Management Programme is discussed in Chapter 18.<br />
