What’s the “Business As Usual” Future for Road Transport in India?
2021
Author(s): Kumar M
It’s not hard to predict that if India continues as is, it will mean an unabated rise in vehicular activity.
Time for Intervention: What do the Mitigation Scenarios Look Like for India’s Road Transport Emissions?
2021
Author(s): Kumar M
The focus here is on the scenarios that incorporate policy interventions that could help decarbonize the sector. Besides the Business-As-Usual (BAU), there were typically two kinds of alternate scenarios incorporated in the models we analyzed: the Moderate effort and the High Ambition.
ICCT and IEA’s High Ambition scenarios expect the light-duty vehicle segment or cars to electrify following two- and three-wheelers.
Decarbonizing India’s Road Transport Sector: Shouldn’t We Aim Higher?
2021
Author(s): International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT)
There are many policy avenues that remain unexplored from a decarbonization perspective. Many of the models don’t incorporate the entire set of emission reduction strategies already commonly employed, and thus these in no way set a boundary as far as what India can achieve.
Summing Up: What’s the Potential for India to Set a Sectoral Target for Road Transport CO2 Emissions in its NDC?
2021
Author(s): Kumar M
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) urged nations to increase the ambition of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). India’s current NDC includes an economy-wide emissions reduction target and it is 2 °C compatible.
