India aims to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2070 – a demanding task giventhe country’s ambitious sustainable development objectives. Road transportcurrently accounts for a relatively small share in national CO2 emissions, but asIndia seeks to satisfy the mobility needs of its growing, urbanising and rapidlydeveloping population, energy demand and CO₂ emissions from the sector coulddouble by 2050, locking in emissions and putting at risk the achievement of thelong-term climate goal.
This report, the product of a collaborate effort between the Intemational EnergyAgency (IEA) and India’s public think tank NITI Aayog, provides a detailed pictureon how CO2 emissions from road transport are likely to grow under existingpolicies and compares these projections with a pathway that could bring the sectoron track with the 2070 goal. It discusses various policy options that the countrycould assess if it is to accelerate the shift to sustainable road transport, focussingon the benefits that energy efficiency improvements and a switch to cleanerenergy sources can bring. The report also quantifies the co-benefits a rapiddecarbonisation of road transport can bring in terms of tackling air pollution – oneof India’s most pressing environmental challenges.
