In its Nationally Determined Contributions ( NDCs ), updated in 2022, India has made three major promises: a 45% reduction in its carbon emissions intensity (CO2 emissions per unit of electricity) based on 2005 levels, by 2030; 50% of installed electricity coming from non-fossil-fuel sources by 2030; and national carbon neutrality by 2070.

Another quote from JC; "But reducing carbon is thus, logically, just one item on the list of answers to "What can we do to raise GDP in 2100?," Asked that way, you can see that "lower carbon emissions" is about #100 on the list, even admitting the 5-10% of GDP thumb-on-the-scale estimates.

Thanks in large measure to natural gas replacing coal, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts carbon emissions in 2040 to be lower than in almost all of the IPCC scenarios. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.

Worse than that, it might end up misdirecting the world’s clean energy efforts into dirtier than appreciated energy technologies because of the country’s ongoing dependence on coal-fired energy. Basic reasoning suggests the manufacturing shift must have added to solar’s carbon intensity.

The easiest is to slow the vessel down, reducing both fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Plenty of other tweaks are on offer, including the installation of wind shipping technology that can cut emissions by 20% or more. On the average ship, there are many ways to improve this.

Black carbon’s lifetime is on the order of days to a couple weeks, which is about 0.004% of the lifetime of other pollutants like CO 2 (which has a lifetime of 300 – 1000 years). This means that if we focus on limiting black carbon emissions, we will see very fast improvements in our atmosphere and health. Arctic Council.
