What is consumption pattern of commercial energy in India?
Answers
Explanation:
India is the second largest commercial energy consumer in Non-OECD East Asia, comprising 19 percent of the region’s total primary energy consumption. Economic growth in India has largely been associated with increased energy consumption. While 60% of total energy needs in India are met by commercial energy sources, remaining 40% are comprised of non-conventional fuels. Over past few years, climate change has become one of the main concerns driving energy policy. More than 150 countries, including India, have committed themselves under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to formulate and implement mitigation and adaptation measures to climate change. India accounts for over 3.5% of world carbon emissions. Since energy use is a major source of emissions, it is necessary to focus on the management of energy demand and supply as a means to abatement. While energy demand grows significantly with economic growth, this coupling varies over time, depending on various other things. Technological progress, energy efficiency programmes and structural changes contribute towards the variation in energy demand. Understanding the various components of energy demand is therefore important and necessary in order to deal with future emissions.
