The total CO2 emissions from India are estimated to be about 1342 million tonnes (HDR 2007/08) that accounts for about 4.6% of the world’s emissions. The projections indicate that India’s CO2 share is expected to increase to about 6% by the year 2030 to maintain its current rate of economic growth. However, the per capita CO2 emission is only 1.2 tonnes per year (reference year 2005) compared to the world average of 4.5 tonnes per year. The major contributors of CO2 emissions are power stations (21%), industrial processing (17%), transportation fuels (14%), agriculture by products (12.5%), fossil fuels retrieval, processing and distribution (11%), residential, commercial and other sources (10%), land use and biomass burning (10%), and waste disposal and treatment (3%).
