Objectives
We propose to calculate emission data (generation and source characterization) for Greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants from energy activities in India, using basic principles of combustion. The USAID/India's Office of Environment, Energy & Enterprise has sponsored the project, Anthropogenic Emissions from Energy Activities in India to assess the emissions of greenhouse and other trace atmospheric gases from energy activities in India. The proposed activity will complement the Government of India's effort in relation to Enabling Activity for the Preparation of India's Initial communication to the UNFCCC.
The national emission inventories provide estimates of GHGs emissions for the whole country. However, measurement and reliable data collection can be major tasks requiring large resources. For inventory preparations, normally default emission factors are used. Major constraint for monitoring the concentrations is limited number of observational points. Modeling in such cases is extremely beneficial as it also enables source characterization, obtaining detailed estimates of concentrations at any desired location, and validating the measured data.
