GHG Pla�orm India is a civil society ini�a�ve providing an independent es�ma�on and analysis of India's Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) emissions across key sectors, namely- Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture,
Forestry & Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Waste.
The Pla�orm seeks to add value to the various ongoing GHG emission es�ma�on efforts by helping address exis�ng
data gaps and data accessibility issues, extending beyond the scope of na�onal inventories to state inventories, and by
increasing the volume of analy�cs and policy dialogue on India's GHG emissions sources, profile, and related policies.
The ini�a�ve es�mates and assesses GHG emissions and removals from the following sectors:
*Fuel combusted for Cap�ve Electricity Genera�on (Auto-Producers) has been reported under Energy sector.

Emissions of Bihar grew from 45.8 MtCO2e to 66.6 MtCO2e at an estimated CAGR1 of 4.79% from 2005
to 20132 as depicted in Figure 1 above. In 2013, the Energy sector contributed ~56% of the total
emissions of Bihar while the AFOLU sector had a share of ~37%. As inferred from Figure 2 below, share
of the Energy emissions increased from ~50% in 2005 to ~56% in 2013. While the share of the AFOLU
sector decreased from ~43% in 2005 to ~37% in 2013. The contributions from the Waste and IPPU
sectors to GHG emissions of Bihar remained almost the same, with the IPPU sector contribution
remaining below 1%.

Per capita emissions of Bihar saw a slight increase from 0.50 tCO2e in 2005 to 0.61 tCO2e in 2013 as
illustrated in Figure 3 above. When compared to India, Bihar recorded significantly lower per capita
emissions. The CAGR of per capita emissions in India and Bihar were 4.07% and 2.53% respectively.
Thus, not only were per capita emissions of Bihar much lower than that of the country, they also grew
at a rate that was significantly lower.
The IPPU sector had registered the highest CAGR of 11.21% but with a very low baseline and negligible
contribution to total emissions, while emissions from the Energy and AFOLU sectors grew at a CAGR
of 6.35% and 2.78% respectively. The growth of GHG emissions for all sectors of Bihar were much
higher than India’s, except for the Energy sector.

Energy Sector The Energy sector comprised of ~56% of the total emissions of Bihar in 2013. In general, emissions
from the Energy sector arise from two main sub-sectors – Fuel Combustion (Public Electricity
Generation, Transport, Industries, Agriculture, Commercial and Residential categories) and Fugitive.
Among the two, emissions arising from Fuel Combustion were very large compared to almost
negligible Fugitive emissions in Bihar. The Energy sector emissions increased at a CAGR of 6.3% from
23 MtCO2e in 2005 to 37.6 MtCO2e in 2013 as depicted in Figure 5 below.
Public Electricity Generation was a major contributor to emissions with its share being ~61% of the
total Energy sector emissions of Bihar in 2013. This was followed by the Residential and Transport
categories each contributing ~15% and ~13% respectively in 2013. Emissions arising out of Public
Electricity Generation were mainly from Coal-based Power Generation. Emissions from Public
Electricity Generation grew at a CAGR of 6.9% from 13.4 MtCO2e in 2005 to 22.9 MtCO2e in 2013 as
depicted in Figure 6 below.

IPPU Sector The IPPU sector embodied ~0.6% of the total GHG emissions of Bihar in 2013. IPPU emissions from
the state were largely driven by Mineral and Chemical Industries. The emissions of the IPPU sector
grew from 0.18 MtCO2e in 2005 to 0.42 MtCO2e in 2013 as depicted in Figure 7 below. Although the
IPPU sector formed a very minor portion of the total emissions in Bihar, it witnessed a CAGR of 11.2%
during the reference period.
Figure 8 below depicts a trend of GHG emissions by various IPPU categories. While Cement Production
was the key driver of emissions during the reference period, an abrupt increase in the overall
emissions was observed in 2012 owing to reported data of Carbon Black production in the IPPU sector.

AFOLU Sector Emissions from the AFOLU sector represented almost 37% of the total emissions of Bihar in 2013.
Emissions from the AFOLU sector arise from three main sub-sectors namely Livestock, Land and
Aggregate sources and Non-CO2 Emissions Sources on Land. The AFOLU emissions increased at a CAGR
of 2.78% from 19.6 MtCO2e in 2005 to 24.4 MtCO2e in 2013 as depicted in Figure 9 below. Notably,
the Land sub-sector acted as a sink in all the reference years in Bihar. Livestock emissions contributed
most to the emissions from the AFOLU sector across all the years from 2005 to 2013. This is perhaps
a reflection of the importance of dairy and other associated activities in the animal husbandry sector
in the economy of Bihar. Emissions due to Aggregate Sources and Non-CO2 Emission Sources on Land
did not show any significant change in the years in consideration. Removals from Land decreased
significantly owing to the reduction in the greencover of the state.
On further investigation of the AFOLU sub-sectors, it can be clearly seen that, Enteric Fermentation was a major contributor but with little or no change in the proportion or growth of its emissions. Significantly, the percentage share of emissions from Rice Cultivation decreased from 31% in 2005 to 27% in 2013. There was a sustained increase in the emissions of Agriculture Soils from 9% in 2005 to 12% in 2013. This can be attriburted to the increased usage of fertilizers in Bihar.

Waste Sector The Waste sector contributed to ~6% of the total emissions of Bihar in 2013. The key sources of GHG
emissions from the Waste sector are Municipal Solid Waste3, Domestic Wastewater and Industrial
Wastewater. GHG emissions from Waste grew at a CAGR of 4.06% from 3 MtCO2e in 2005 to 4.2
MtCO2e in 2013. The emissions from the Waste sector in Bihar followed an almost linear trend until
2011.The spike in emissions in 2011 can be attributed to higher Domestic wastewater emissions, which
reflects changing trends in use of various treatment systems as reported in Census of India 2011.
Domestic Wastewater comprised ~92% of the total Waste emissions of Bihar. Emissions of Domestic
Wastewater originating from the rural and urban areas of Bihar grew at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2.8
MtCO2e in 2005 to 3.9 MtCO2e in 2013. Given Bihar's large rural population, over 80% emissions from
this sub-sector originated from its rural areas during the reference period as depicted in Figure 13
below. Discharge of untreated wastewater and use of septic tanks are key drivers of emissions in this
sub-sector.
Municipal Solid Waste contributed approximately 6% of the total Waste emissions in 2013. Emissions
from this sub-sector grew at a CAGR of 2.1% from 2005 to 2013, driven by increasing waste generation
rates, changing composition, and growing population. Industrial Wastewater had a minor share of
~2% in the total Waste emissions in 2013.
3 'Refers to emission in urban areas. Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Disposal in rural areas are not considered, as
disposal predominantly occurs in a dispersed manner and does not generate significant CH4 emissions'
