GBD-MAPS working group meeting, IIT Bombay, January 18-19, 2016.
Emission projections of PM-2.5 and air pollutants from India (2015-2050)
Department of Chemical Engineering Interdisciplinary Programme in Climate Studies Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Goals
To combine energy scenarios with technology-linked emissions modelling to project Indian emissions 2015-2050.
Scenario building for future energy demand based on sectoral activity (or service demand) growth.
Scenario building for emissions under evolving technology mix, governed by environmental and energy legislation and policy.
Identifying sectors contributing largest shares to future emissions of PM-2.5 and its precursors.
Identifying policies and technology-shifts central to effective mitigation of PM-2.5 emissions.
Methodology Diffusion model for sectoral activity growth
Sectoral growth rates (2015-30 and 2030-50). Evaluation with published activity/service demand growth factors.
Scenario building for technology mix evolution
S1 - BAU, 1995-2015 diffusion rates of clean technologies (e.g. SC in thermal power, PAT in industry, LPG in residential cooking, shift to BS-III vehicular standards).
S2 – EEE, expected efficiency and emission improvements, reflects current policy/legislation: national climate targets for GHG emissions (INDC in thermal power, industry), emission standards in transport, brick, targets in cookstoves initiative, clean technology diffusion rates 10% higher than S1.
S3 – HELE, high efficiency low emissions, large diffusion of clean technologies and practices, needs adoption of both air quality and climate policies for APs and SLCPs, currently not formulated.
Projection of future energy demand. Evaluation with literature on reference and low-carbon scenarios.
Technology linked emissions projections.
Sectoral activity or service demand growth (2005-2050)
Projections - annualised growth rates by sector, for 2015-30 and 2030-50 developed from literature.
Thermal power has >90% shift to non-fossil power (nuclear, hydro, renewables) – note log scale. Growth rates differ in industrial sectors, highest in cement, almost stagnant in fertilizers beyond 2030. Passenger km increase ~10 times, while freight increases ~ 5 times. Residential growth tracks population projection at 1.25% per year. Building sector (bricks) grows ~5 times till 2050, after including shift to cement blocks.
Non-fossil shares and tech-mix in 2030, 2050:
S1 - 30% and 40% (past 20y rate of change).
S2 - 40% and 60% (India’s
INDC, 2015 ), Tech divisions, IESS L2.
S3 - 75% and 80%, consistent with low carbon scenarios with carbon pricing and electricity targets (Shukla and Chaturvedi, 2012; Anandarajah and Gambhir, 2014). Tech divisions, IESS L4.
Emission factors from USEPA-AP42/EMEP for Indian coal mean ash content of ~39%. APCD: ESP-multiple cyclones (for emission standard). For sub-critical, assumption of 10% time APCD not working (uncontrolled emissions).

Transport Modal & technology shifts Transport
Modal shifts and emissions norms (Guttikunda and Mohan, 2014; Auto Fuel Policy, 2014 and IESS, NITI Aayog, 2014). S1 – 80:20 private-public; GAS : DES : CNG : ELE shares Level 2, IESS. S2 – 72:25 private-public; GAS : DES : CNG : ELE shares Level 3, IESS. BS-IV in 2019, BS-V in 2024 and BS-VI in 2030. S3 – 25% shift from private to public passenger by 2030, further decrease at same rate to 2050; BS-IV in 2015, BS-V in 2020 and BS-VI in 2024; GAS : DES : CNG : ELE shares, Level 4, IESS (cleanest).

Technology mix evolution – industry
Energy efficiency in industry – PAT scheme for each sector.
High levels ~80% already achieved in heavy industry in 2014.
Light industry has low energy efficiency and modest increases are projected, because of scale.
Technology evolution – residential MNRE - National Cookstoves Initiative, 2010. Improved cookstove targets with implementation at state level. National solar mission, 2014 - solar lighting.
Cooking efficieny levels increase by factors of ~4-5 by 2050 (IESS, NITI Aayog, 2014).
S1: ~40% switch to gasifier stoves, LPG/PNG and electricity; ~75% electric / solar lighting.
S2: ~60-70% switch to cleaner stoves, >90% solar/electric lighting.
S3: less than 40% and 20% use of biomass cooking, cleaner stoves, 100% switch to solar/electric lighting.
Diesel generator sets continue to provide decentralised power, replaced only 5-20% by electricity.

Building material and technology shifts - Brick production
Current – clamps, BTKs. Intermediate - zig-zag fired BTK; Cleaner – non-fired blocks and VSBK (Roadmap for cleaner brick production, 2016, ongoing).
Shift to cement hollow-blocks ~ 25% in urban areas. Diffusion of non-fired+VSBK, in 2030, 2050: S1 – 15%, 40%; S2 – 35%, 65%; S3 – 60%, 90% (no traditional kilns remain in 2050) MoEFCC proposed emission standards (2016) for BTK’s expected to provide push to zig-zag fired BTKs.

Growth tracks food production. Cereal straws and sugarcane waste assumed burned in field. Shift from field burning to deep sowing-mulching technology Tractor-mounted machine that cuts
and lifts rice straws, sows wheat into the bare soil, and deposits the straw over the sown area as mulch (helps to retain moisture of the soil).
Reduces the time to sow wheat without burning the rice straw residue.
Technology available, however, no increase in productivity or profits. (Gupta, 2014).
Agricultural pumps: Almost 70%
electric present day; further shifts to solar and electric pumping.

Energy demand evolution by sector
Energy demand harmonization with published scenarios for 2030, 2050: S1 – 102 EJ; S2 – 82 EJ; S3 – 65 EJ Literature reference scenario 95-110 EJ (Shukla et al. 2012; Parikh et al. 2012). Low carbon pathways 45-55 EJ (Chaturvedi and Shukla, 2013; Anandarajah and Ganbhir, 2014). Power : Industry : transport : residential :: 20 : 25 : 10 : 5 EJ
S1: Current legislation in TPP, IND, TRN. Current rates (past 20y) of diffusion cleaner technologies in RES, BRK, no control on field burning:
Growth in PM2.5 emissions 7.2 Tg (2013) to 10.5 Tg (2030) and 17 Tg (2050).
S2: Envisaged policy and legislation in TPP, IND, TRN. Diffusion of cleaner technologies at 10% higher than past 20y, in RES, BRK, no control on field burning.
Growth in PM2.5 emission from 7.2 Tg (2013) to 9.5 Tg (2030) and 10.5 Tg (2050).
S3: Low-carbon scenario assumptions for TPP, IND; best controls in TRN; high cleantech diffusion in residential, bricks and informal industry, field burning controlled by 2030.
PM2.5 emissions reduced below present day levels to 4.5 Tg (2030) and 5 Tg (2050).
Notice the rising trend beyond 2040. Need tighter emissions controls in light industry to achieve stabilisation.

No field burning by 2050. 12 Tg mitigation includes ~6
Tg from TPP and ~5 from RES+AGRI, ~0.5 each from BRK and IND+TRN.
PM2.5 mitigation needed by sector
PM2.5 emission mitigation in transport
Transport sector: S1, S2 – current legislation and fuel policy lead to increases in emission (to 500-600 Gg) by 2030 and stabilisation to present day levels (450 Gg) by 2050. S3 – Lage shift to public-passenger transport, large CNG/electric vehicle fractions and early adoption of emission standards needed for reduction from 450 Gg (present day) to 225 Gg (2050).

SO2 and NOx mitigation needed by sector
SO2/NOx emissions, therefore, secondary SO4 and NO3 aerosol would be governed by TPP and IND. How much of total PM-2.5 contributed by these species?
NMVOC, BC and OC: All governed by RES & AGRI; NMVOC – TRN; BC - BRK Secondary organic aerosol (from NMVOC-NOx reactions) share of PM-2.5, impact of RES & AGRI must be assessed. Future scenarios, NOx increases expected, so controlling NMVOC becomes critical to both O3 and SOA related air quality.
Uncertainties and open questions Current and envisaged legislation and policy not sufficient to
reduce and stabilise future PM-2.5 emissions.
Lack of measured emission factors in all sectors biggest uncertainty.
Residential and agricultural sector emissions are not well constrained at present. But field emission factors are 2-5 times larger than those in lab, therefore, estimates more likely to increase than decrease.
Lack of solutions in residential cooking, need “ultra-low emissions biomass cookstoves.” Biomass use likely to continue.
Need policies that actually achieve published low-carbon-pathway transformations to reduce emissions from coal power.
How to best address residential biomass cooking? Health ministry, MNRE, business models …
Control of field burning offers one piece of mitigation. Needs economic incentive for technology adoption.
