ENERGY USE AND CARBON IMPLICATIONS IN INDIA - FOCUS ON INDUSTRY

Our objective in this paper is to assess the economic impact of altern ative abatement strategies which may be adopted by India in the perspe ctive of its industrialization program. For this purpose, we quantify levels of CO2 emissions associated with different industrial strategie s and process choices for given levels of projected demand for end-use service and for industrial products. We then estimate optimal process and fuel mix of energy supply for each end use which is consistent wi th given emission abatement levels, and identify policy options in vie w of the above.
