India – Carbon Imports (approx)

Commodity Import, MMT/yr % C Imported C, MMT/yr

Crude Oil 220 85% 190

Coal 200 75% 150

Natural Gas 15 77% 11.6

We need to find about 350 MMT of domestic carbon (on

current basis) to fully replace our carbon imports

Anthropogenic Carbon

Khatiwala, Primeau and Hall, 2009

Domestic Carbon Sources (estimates)• India – Second most populous nation ~18% of World population

• Population growth and rapid urbanization drive increased MSW

• Land limitations in India constrain availability of landfill space and supply-demand economics of urban land planning

• In rural areas, fallow / mono-cropped / under-irrigated land offers upsides on carbon capture through farm activity

Commodity Scope, MMT/yr % C, approx Potential C, MT/yr

Agri-residue (surplus) 120 40% 48

Forest residue 150 42% 63

Bio-gas excl landfill 800 45% 360

MSW 40 25% 10

UCO 5 85% 4

485 MMT of carbon excluding CO/CO2/landfill CH4 !

All the carbon we need is available within our borders
