人类活动排放的CO2是全球变暖的主要原因之一。印度是一个依赖农业的国家,全球变暖将意味着季风不稳定和随之而来的粮食短缺,自然灾害和经济问题。但是,通过适当的政策干预,可以控制二氧化碳排放。投入产出分析被用来估算1993- 1994年、1998- 1999年、2003- 2004年和2006- 2007年家庭的直接和间接二氧化碳排放量。对1993- 1994年和2006- 2007年之间的二氧化碳排放变化进行了完整的分解分析,以根据广泛的家庭消费类别确定污染、能源强度、结构、活动和人口影响的原因。结果表明,活动,结构和人口的影响是家庭燃料消费的CO2排放量增加的主要原因。为了查明部门一级的原因,对2003- 2004年和2006- 2007年之间的变化进行了第二次分解,以查明下一阶段的原因。最后,为减少排放,对每一消费类别的替代能源政策选择进行了审查。为了减少电池、其他非电动机械、建筑和电子设备(包括电视)等部门的二氧化碳排放量,需要采取技术推广、燃料转换和市场管理的综合战略,因为所有这些部门的效果都是积极的。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
CO2 emission from anthropogenic activities is one of the major causes of global warming. India being an agriculture dependent country, global warming would mean monsoon instability and consequent food scarcity, natural disasters and economic concerns. However with proper policy interventions, CO2 emissions can be controlled. Input-output analysis has been used to estimate direct and indirect CO2 emissions by households for 1993-94, 1998-99, 2003-04 and 2006-07. Complete decomposition analysis of the changes in CO2 emissions between 1993-94 and 2006-07 has been done to identify the causes into pollution, energy intensity, structure, activity and population effects according to broad household consumption categories. Results indicate that activity, structure and population effects are the main causes of increase in CO2 emission from household fuel consumption. To identify the causes at the sectoral level a second decomposition has been done for changes between 2003-04 and 2006-07 to identify the causes in the next stage. Finally alternative energy policy options have been examined for each consumption category to reduce emissions. Combined strategies of technology upgradation, fuel switching and market management in order to reduce CO2 emissions for sectors like Batteries, Other non-electrical machinery, Construction and Electronic equipments (including Television), for which all the effects are positive, need to be adopted.
