Abstract
The study is based on the data collected from the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy - Government of India to assess energy consumption across the country. This study also collected data from relevant agencies responsible for energy supply to various residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. The equivalent carbon emissions from the selected fuel and energy sources operations are calculated using Gen Less Tools, a unique and customised emissions calculation tool. India has surpassed Germany to become the world's fourth-largest solar power installation country. Solar power capacity has increased more than sevenfold in the last five years, from 6.7 GW in 2016 to 44 GW in August 2021. Solar tariffs in India are highly competitive and have reached grid parity. In nine states with a considerable percentage of solar power installed, emissions were reduced by 42227 thousand tonnes.
这项研究是基于从印度政府新能源和可再生能源部收集的数据来评估全国的能源消耗。本研究还收集了负责各种住宅、商业、工业和运输部门能源供应的相关机构的数据。所选燃料和能源的当量碳排放量是使用一种独特的定制排放计算工具Gen Less Tools计算的。印度已经超过德国，成为世界第四大太阳能安装国。太阳能发电容量在过去五年中增长了七倍多，从2016年的6.7吉瓦增加到2021年8月的44吉瓦。印度的太阳能电价极具竞争力，已达到电网平价。在安装了相当比例的太阳能的9个州，排放量减少了4222.7万吨。
