Estimation of saving of CO2 emissions using solar power for the time period August-2024 to July-2025
The CO2 emissions associated with electricity consumption in India can vary based on the energy mix and the carbon intensity of electricity generation in different regions. As ref [1], the average carbon intensity for electricity generation in India was around 0.82 kilograms of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (kgCO2/kWh).
Total Electricity Consumption | 1,50,09,330 KWh |
Total Electricity Generated using solar panels | 15,97,336 kWh |
To calculate the CO2 emissions from electricity consumption in India, we have used the formula mentioned earlier:
The CO2 emissions (kg) for the time period August-2024 to July-2025 is therefore:
15,97,336 kWh x 0.82 kgCO2/kWh CO2 emissions (kg) = 13,09,815.52 kg
Average Annual CO2 emissions (in tCO2e) for the time period August-2024 to July-2025:
1,309.81 x 12 tCO2e = 15,717.72 tCO2e
