GHG Platform India is a collective civil society initiative providing an independent estimation and analysis of India's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions across key sectors, namely, Energy, Industry*, AFOLU** and Waste.
The platform seeks to add value to the various ongoing GHG estimation efforts by helping address existing data gaps and data accessibility issues, extending beyond the scope of national inventories, and by increasing the volume of analytics and policy dialogue on India's Greenhouse Gas emissions sources, prole, and related policies.

Industry sector represents ~25% of the overall national estimates for the greenhouse gas emissions. As per our estimates, GHG emissions from industries grew at a compound rate of 9% – rising from ~315 Million Tonnes (MT) of Carbon-dioxide equivalent (CO e) in 2005, to 2
~623 MT CO e in 2013.2
In 2013, manufacturing of iron and steel represented the largest share of emissions (38%), followed by non-metallic minerals (predominantly, cement) with a share of 29% in overall industrial emissions. Coal consumption is the prime driver behind their overall emissions.

In 2013 AFOLU sector contributed to ~7% of India’s overall GHG emissions. The emissions decreased from ~201 MT CO e 2
in 2005 to ~172 MT Co e in 2013. This marginal decline is 2
primarily due to increased removal of CO by land, mainly forests 2
which acts as a carbon sink.
States with maximum emissions from AFOLU sector in 2013 were Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar and West Bengal. These states together accounted for ~88% of India's total AFOLU emissions.
There are, however, many states that have negative emissions from this sector, primarily because of a large forest area within their territories. The top 5 states/UT with negative emissions in 2013 were Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Emissions from this sector are dominated by mainly two sources viz. livestock and rice cultivation which together account for ~ 80% of the emissions.
Apart from these two sub-categories another sub-category with signicant emissions is Direct and Indirect N O emissions agriculture 2
soils that show an increasing trend primarily due to use of fertilisers.

The Waste sector emitted ~89 MT CO e in 2013, contributing to 2
~4% of India's total GHG emissions. GHG emissions from this sector grew at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2005 to 2013.
Rural areas and urban areas contribute to about 60% and 40% of the total emissions from domestic wastewater in the country respectively.
The six states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal together contributed to 57% of the Waste Sector emissions in the 2013.
Changing solid waste composition across the states has resulted in an increase in the GHG emission generated from every tonne of solid waste disposed over the years. Rural areas and urban areas contribute to about 60% and 40% of the total emissions from domestic wastewater in the country respectively. Pulp & paper, Coffee, Soft drink, Meat and Tannery sectors are critical industry sectors having the highest GHG emission per tonne of product and for every cubic meter of industrial wastewater generated.
