论文摘要
印度是世界上增长最快的经济体之一，必须采取可持续发展的发展途径。印度负责全球二氧化碳排放量的7％。电力部门占该国排放的近35％。从化石燃料到可再生能源的转换是脱碳的关键，被认为是缓解气候的关键步骤。这项研究调查了可再生能源的潜力。风，太阳能和水力。本研究中开发的优化模型分析了过渡到可持续未来的各种情况。结果表明，印度的目标是从RES实现450 GW的安装能力远非零净的未来。结果证实，印度有可能满足RES，包括Wind，太阳能和Hydro在内的2030年电力需求的100％。引入碳的社会成本是减少印度排放的可行选择。但是，由于煤炭成本较低，高煤税不会导致排放量减少。
India, being one of the fastest growing economies of the world, must take a sustainable path for development. India is responsible for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions. The electricity sector accounts for nearly 35 percent of emissions from the country. The switch from fossil fuels to renewable sources is the key in decarbonizing this sector and is considered as the crucial step for climate mitigation. This research investigates the potential of renewable energy sources; wind, solar and hydro. The optimization model developed in this study analyzes various scenarios for the transition to a sustainable future. The results show that India aims to achieve 450 GW of installed capacity from RES is far from a Net Zero future. Results confirm that India has the potential to meet 100 percent of electricity demand in 2030 from RES including wind, solar and hydro. Introducing Social Cost of Carbon is a viable option to reduce emissions in India. However, due to the low cost of coal, high coal taxes do not lead to reduced emissions.
