| 520 | _a This study estimates Puducherry{u2019}s GHG emissions by creating an inventory using GPC{u2019}s BASIC level reporting framework for 2015-16. BASIC level reporting framework consists of estimating emissions from Stationary Energy, Transportation and Waste Sectors. According to GPC emissions are categorised by Scopes. Scope 1 consists of emissions from sources located within the city. Scope 2 includes emissions occurring from the use of grid-supplied electricity within the city. Scope 3 includes emissions occurring outside the city as a result of activities taking place within the city. In Puducherry, emissions from Stationary Energy - Scope 1 (236,941.6 tCO 2 e) occur from the use of fossil fuels like LPG, diesel, furnace oil etc by the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors. Stationary Energy - Scope 2 (1,892,918.4 tCO 2 e) deals with emissions from the use of electricity within the city. Emissions from transmissions and distribution losses form part of Stationary Energy - Scope 3 (242,104.3 tCO 2 e). Puducherry{u2019}s total emissions in 2015-16 from Stationary Energy sector were estimated at 2,129,860 tCO 2 e and account for 74% of total emissions in the BASIC level reporting framework. Puducherry{u2019}s transportation sector includes on-road transport and railways. Scope 1 consists of emissions from the use of fossils fuels by vehicles and diesel locomotives and account for 683,674.4 tCO 2 e. Electric locomotives in Scope 2 emit 126.1 tCO 2 e and T &D losses (Scope 3) from the supply of electricity to the railways account for 16.1 tCO 2 e. Total Transportation related emissions were estimated at 683,800.5 tCO 2 e in 2015-16 and account for 21% of total BASIC level emissions. Emissions from the Waste sector are all Scope 1 in nature and include emissions from solid waste disposal, clinical waste incineration and waste water treatment. They account for 162,189.5 tCO 2 e and form 5% the total BASIC level emissions.Additionally, emissions from the AFOLU sector which consisted of emissions from enteric fermentation manure management and rice cultivation were estimated at 68,444 tCO 2 e. Emissions from the Stationary Energy sector were then projected under various scenarios to 2030 and 2040 using LEAP. It was found that under the BAU scenario the emissions would reach 9,279.1 thousand tCO 2 e in 2030 and 26,790.5 thousand tCO 2 e in 2040. However, under the BEST case scenario which includes, fuel switching, use of efficient appliances and renewable purchase obligations these emissions would come down to 4,799.6 thousand tCO 2 e in 2030 and 7385 thousand tCO 2 e in 2040, a reduction of 72.4% from BAU in 2040. Puducherry should focus on emission mitigation from the Stationary Energy sector as it is the highest emitter amongst the three sectors studied. In particular, renewable purchase obligation which focuses on having a mandatory percentage of electricity generated by renewable energy can play a key role in mitigating emission from Scope 2, thereby contributing to the fight against climate change. | ||
