An assessment of decarbonization in the strategic Indian electricity generation sector

With an eye to addressing climate change concerns while also meeting the demands of continued economic growth, the Indian electricity generation sector can achieve a cumulative reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 24 GtCo2 and hydrocarbon imports by US$730 billion during the period 2015-2047. This transformation will require a capital outlay of US$1.16 trillion and a total land requirement of 22,200 km2.
