“While we already have one of the lowest emissions intensity of the economy, we will do more. We are targeting a further
emissions intensity decline of 20-25% by 2020 on 2005 levels”. J Ramesh Copenhagen (16 Dec 2009)
What is emission intensityWhat is the trend of emission intensity and how
it affects Co2 emissionWhat are other factors that affects Co2 emissionCan we afford to promise reduction in Co2
emission by 2020 This presentation is an attempt to answer some of
these questions using Econometric model
Introduction
4
Carbon Credit: Carbon Credits are part of a tradable permit scheme. They provide a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by giving
them a monetary value. A credit gives the owner the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide . One carbon credit is equal to one ton of carbon dioxide, or in some
markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Energy Intensity:
Energy intensity is a measure of the energy efficiency of a nation's economy. It is calculated as units of energy per unit of GDP.
High energy intensities indicate a high price or cost of converting energy into GDP.
Low energy intensity indicates a lower price or cost of converting energy into GDP.
Carbon intensity : The carbon intensity, also called per capita annual emissions, is a
measure of how much carbon equivalents (CO2e) are emitted per capita of GDP.
The inverse is the metric called carbon productivity which is the amount of GDP product per unit of carbon equivalent
Some definition

After literature review possible economic theory is defined
Based on the theory, series of Independent variables were identified responsible for Co2 Emission of the country, which is considered as dependent variable
Data collected for various identified Independent variables
Data entered in E-view Software to identify relationships between dependent and independent variables
Application of various checks like Auto correlation and Multicolliniarity

After literature Review variables identified are
Dependent Variable: Co2 Emission of the country
Independent Variables:PopulationReal GDPCarbon IntensityEnergy IntensityIndustrial Development IndexAgricultural Production Index
And so on
Identification of Variables
9
For collection of data took maximum effortAll data was not available at one placeRBI website main source of data for following variables:
Real GDP Industrial Development IndexAgricultural Production Index
Website of US Energy Information Administration; main source for Carbon IntensityEnergy IntensityPopulation and Co2 Emission of the country
Data for all above variables available for 1980 to 2007 As such data obtained for this period only.
Collection of Data
10
All above data then studied individually with regard to its trend and interrelationship.
It is observed that Industrial production index and agriculture production Index could not give any idea about Co2 emission. Hence both these variables dropped from study.
It was assumed that there is linear relationship between dependent and Independent Variables.
Only basic Econometrics tools applied in preparation of Model
Economic Theory and its assumptions
11
Co2/GHG is being emitted in environment by various means. In the present study Co2 /GHG emission considered is only for energy consumption.
Co2 means Co2 equivalent of all GHGBasic economic theory for which Hypothesis
testing done is that Co2 Emission is dependent on Population, Carbon Intensity, Real GDP and Energy Intensity.
Proposed theoretical relation is

Check for AutocorrelationSince this is a time series data, we can see from Durbin Watson statistics, i.e. 0.63 that shows there is positive auto correlation
Check of Multicolliniarity test;
A statistically significant F-value (0.00) while some of the t-values are statistically insignificant for EI and CI.
Thus Model is not statistically significant
Requires corrections
Let us first address problem of Autocorrelation, by introducing error term

Now, problem of autocorrelation has been taken care of.
Check of Multicolliniarity test;

2. Regress one Independent Variable with all other Independent Variables. Let us see on e view
Adjusted R2 very highIt shows that new dependent variable can be explained by other explanatory variables

Trail 3: Result Check for AutocorrelationSince this is a time series data, we can see from Durbin Watson statistics, i.e. 0.81 that shows there is positive auto correlation
Check of Multicolliniarity test;

Already removed by introducing error term
Check of Multicolliniarity test;
Both F value and all t values are statistically significant, it appears that there is no multicolliniariry.
This was ascertained by other tests as well
High adjusted R2 value
Very high f statistics and very High t statistics values indicates this Model is statistically significant.

Final Model definition
21
Positive values of all coefficients of Explanatory variables: It shows that there is positive relationship between all
explanatory variables and Co2 emissionIndia's Climate Change Stand:
India never agreed to any proposal for absolute reduction in Co2/GHG emission
Model shows that this can be possible only when either Population start decreasing or country stop moving on the path of development
Both of these are distant possibilities. focus should be given on harnessing energy from clean
sources to curb carbon emissions, which would not affect the country’s economic growth.
Thus India's Stand is correct. World Bank in its report Says “India Right In Resisting
Mandatory Emission Reductions”
Analysis
22
This Model shows thatFor every 1 million increase in population, there
will be 0.6977 MMT co2 will be emitted for additional energy use by them.
351 MT Co2 will be emitted from the energy utilized in earning additional 1 Crore of Rupees provided population and Energy intensity remain constant
If we could manage to reduce energy intensity by just 1%, we could able to save 1.83 MMT of energy for same GDP and population. This result into generation of about 1.83 million Carbon Credit; that can be sold in Carbon Market
Analysis
23
Only way to reduce Co2 emission is by reducing Energy Intensity.
Data shows that since 1995, without any specific policy, Energy Intensity is decreasing over the years.1995: 219 M TOE per Million $2007: 164 M TOE per Million $
Minister promised the same in Parliament to reduce energy intensity by 25% by 2025 1.e. to bring it about 135 M TOE per Million $
Reducing Energy Intensity will help India financially by selling carbon credit in Carbon Market
Analysis: Policy Initiatives
24
Model also help in policy maker to decide carbon tax for those industries which requires more Energy intensity than National Average.
Industries, which are using advance low carbon technology, may get profit by selling carbon saved in Carbon Credit market.
Model may also help policy makers to introduce carbon tax to fund low carbon technology research.
Such Carbon Tax can be calculated by using Model as how much Co2 emitted for unit profit and some percentage of market cost of that ton of Co2
This shows that India has very big opportunity is such severe problem of Climate Change.
