Abstract
Coal is the major fossil fuel used in industrial units and power plants for power generation in India. The carbon dioxide emitted as a product of combustion of coal (fossil fuels) is currently responsible for over 60% of the enhanced greenhouse effect. The present communication is an attempt to provide a brief investigation of CO2 emission from coal based power generation in India. Energy indicators, trends in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions have been thoroughly investigated. Methodology for analysis of carbon emissions and possible sinks is also provided.
