Scientists have\u00a0claimed that the drop in carbon dioxide\u00a0<\/a>levels in the air, in 2020, is the biggest yet in over 70 years. There are also reports that talk about an overall decrease in air pollution given the restrictions on human\u00a0activities<\/a>\u00a0during the lockdown. Maybe there is something to be glad about after all.<\/p>\n

In India, carbon dioxide emissions have reportedly declined for the first time is 40 years owing to the ongoing lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting data has been revealed in the latest analysis done by Lauri Myllyvirta and Sunil Dahiya of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) for\u00a0Carbon Brief.\u00a0<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

The analysis states that CO2 emissions in the country fell by around 15% in March, and about\u00a0 30% in April.<\/p>\n

The analysts used the latest consumption data for coal, oil and gas, to concluded\u00a0that CO2 emissions fell\u00a0<\/a>by 30 million tonnes in the financial year 2019-20 compared to the previous fiscal.<\/p>\n

Power and transportation sectors are the major contributors of CO2 pollution in the country. The analysis is based on government data from various ministries and it states that power generated from coal-fired plants fell by 15% in March, and 31% in the first three weeks of April. \u2018In contrast, renewable energy (RE) generation increased by 6.4% in March, and saw a slight decrease of 1.4% in the first three weeks of April,\u2019 it reads.<\/p>\n

Not just coal, consumption of oil too has seen a decline.\u00a0<\/span>Oil demand has already been slow and demand in growth of oil consumption fell by 18% this March, compared to the last year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Using the indicators above for coal, oil and gas consumption, we estimate that CO2 emissions fell by 30m tonnes of CO2 (MtCO2, 1.4%) in the fiscal year ending March, in what is likely to have been the first annual decline in four decades\u2019, the analysis states.<\/p>\n

The 30% decline in emission is based on power-sector emissions estimated from daily generation data.<\/p>\n

However this decline is not expected to last for long as the country slowly lifts lockdown and industrial activities, apart from other contributing factors, resume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
