Notes From All Over, Part 3 -- December 12, 2019

India's huge carbon footprint, not getting any smaller: link here.

In the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Outlook 2019, India has the fastest growing rate of energy consumption globally through 2050.

By 2050, EIA projects in the IEO2019 Reference case that India will consume more energy than the United States by the mid-2040s, and its consumption will remain second only to China through 2050.

Long-term energy consumption projections in India are uncertain because of its rapid rate of change magnified by the size of its economy. The Issue in Focus article explores two aspects of uncertainty regarding India’s future energy consumption: economic composition by sector and industrial sector energy intensity. When these assumptions vary, it significantly increases estimates of future energy consumption.
