Mitigating Carbon Emission through Economic Instruments: An Indian Perspective
Published By: NCAER on eSS | Published Date: December, 24 , 2005The paper has two objectives. One, to analyse the pattern of energy usage in India and
the implications thereof for carbon emission; two, to examine whether pricing and taxation
policies have any role to play in mitigating carbon emissions. It is shown that the pattern of
energy usage exhibits a shift towards non-coal based energy products. It also suggests that the
reduction in carbon emissions is not sufficient to warrant the use of carbon taxation for
mitigating emissions. [NCAER WP 96].
