Oil savings are also significant, at 1.1 mb/d, or 17%, in 2030 in the Alternative<br />

Policy Scenario. Oil demand grows on average by 3% per year, reaching<br />

5.4 mb/d in 2030. More than two-thirds of the oil savings come from the<br />

transport sector, thanks to the faster introduction of biofuels and compressed<br />

natural gas (CNG) and the increased fuel efficiency of new vehicles. Oil<br />

demand savings accelerate in 2015-2030, reflecting the demand effect of a<br />

modal shift to public transport that reduces the demand for two-wheelers and<br />

cars.<br />

Natural gas demand continues to grow steadily over the <strong>Outlook</strong> period in the<br />

Alternative Policy Scenario, by 4.6% per year – 0.2 percentage points less than<br />

in the Reference Scenario. Gas consumption reaches 107 billion cubic metres<br />

in 2030, about 5 bcm less than in the Reference Scenario. But the share of gas<br />

in India's primary energy mix is slightly higher, rising from 5% in 2005 to 8%<br />

by 2030, compared with 7% in the Reference Scenario.<br />

Demand for non-fossil fuel energy sources is 20% higher in the Alternative<br />

Policy Scenario. Hydropower, especially, grows faster and is 42% higher in<br />

2030. Growth runs at 5.3% per year over the period 2005-2030, compared<br />

with 3.9% in the Reference Scenario. Biomass accounts for 19% of primary<br />
