Despite improvements in thermal efficiency, in the Reference Scenario the<br />

power sector continues to be responsible for most of the increase in CO 2<br />

emissions to 2030 and its share in total emissions remains broadly constant<br />

(Figure 16.12). This is because of fast growing demand for electricity and<br />

because the share of coal in the electricity mix is projected to remain high.<br />

Power sector emissions fall dramatically in the Alternative Policy Scenario<br />

(Chapter 18).<br />

The lack of non-fossil alternative fuels means that CO 2<br />

emissions trends in the<br />

transport sector closely follow energy demand. The transport sector is<br />

responsible for 8% of India’s CO 2<br />

emissions today. This share grows with<br />

rapidly rising transport demand, particularly after 2015 as vehicle ownership<br />

increases, to 13% in 2030. Transport’s share of emissions in India at the end of<br />

the <strong>Outlook</strong> period is, nonetheless, much lower than that in developed<br />

countries today. For example, the share of transport in total CO 2<br />

emissions in<br />

2005 was 31% in the United States and 24% in the European Union.<br />
