What is the state of clean cooking #energyaccess in #India?

Based on #IRES2020, our study found that:
➡️Over 70% per cent of Indian households use #LPG as their primary cooking fuel
➡️85% have #LPG connections
➡️54% continue to use traditional solid fuels

How has #LPGPriceHike affected consumption?
84% of households using traditional #solidfuels with #LPG cited high prices of LPG refills as a reason for stacking fuels. LPG prices have risen by 40% over the last 1 year.
#PressRelease: bit.ly/2Ynelyi Image
80% non-users cite the inability to afford #LPG – either bcz of connection cost or recurring expense on #fuel – as the reason for not having an #LPGconnection.
Using traditional solid fuels for cooking increases exposure to indoor #airpollution for such households.
#LPGPriceHike Image
What is the impact of #LPGPriceHike on household budgets?
An average #Indian household needs to spend a significant share of their overall monthly expenditure for exclusive #LPG use — 9.3% in #rural areas & 7.1% in #urban areas. Image
What are the other barriers to #LPG access?
➡️Absence of home delivery of LPG refills or delayed delivery is another deterrent to regular LPG use.
➡️Only half of the #rural LPG users get their refills home delivered. Image
Overall, the use of #LPG as the primary #cookingfuel increased from 28.5% in 2011 to 71% in 2020. LPG coverage and its use as a primary cooking fuel should be particularly improved in the #rural areas of #Bihar, #Jharkhand, #MadhyaPradesh, #Odisha & #WestBengal. Image
How can India ensure sustained #LPG use?
➡️Expand #LPG connections under PMUY 2.0
➡️Provide targeted subsidies to make LPG consumption affordable
➡️Incentivise #rural distributors
➡️Link LPG programmes to social assistance or rural development schemes Image

Can smart meters make India's power sector more people-centric?

60% of consumers in India are satisfied with smart meters and would recommend them to friends & relatives, according to a new CEEW study based on a survey of 2,700 households in 6 states.

More 👇
The Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme aims to replace 250 million conventional electricity meters with smart prepaid meters by 2025-26.

They can help power discoms improve billing & revenue collection & enable consumers to track & manage electricity consumption and expenses.
➡️ Over 90% of surveyed consumers had a smooth smart meter installation experience

➡️ 50% reported improvements in billing regularity since switching to smart meters

📍 The 6 surveyed states account for 80% of the 5.5 million smart meters installed in India

Smart-metered India for a Digitalised and People-centric Power Sector twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Smart meters help consumers make informed consumption decisions. But consumers are unaware of benefits. Need a practical approach in awareness campaigns, need innovative financial models to make them affordable, & need to ensure data transparency: @VivekKumarDewa5, @RECLindia Image
Smart metering is very imp from the consumer's perspective. Wrong/delayed billing is a bane. Prepaid metering is the core of fixing this issue. If consumers are satisfied then they are willing to pay for the services. This is a revolution: Alok Kumar, Secretary, @MinOfPower Image

Netzero announcements ✅
But is the available carbon space being fairly shared?
➡️by 2050, China, the US, & the EU are likely to occupy over 90% of the available 1.5°C #carbonspace.
➡️by 2030, they would consume 45% of the available carbon space.

Read 👇
The study also found that the #netzero commitments made by the 10 big emitters are inadequate and would surpass the 1.5°C #carbon space by 33% by 2050.
Read #pressrelease📜: bit.ly/3D0UXqv
We propose that:
➡️the US, China & the EU should consider advancing their #netzero years by a decade & aim to turn net negative by 2050.
✅This would help contain warming within the 1.5°C #carbonbudget threshold suggested by the recent #IPCC report.

#India recently announced the National Hydrogen Mission & there's growing interest among leading industry players in #greenhydrogen.
But why is green H2 significant for India's #energytransition?
#pressrelease: bit.ly/3l3b8fc
In a new study, we examined how #greenhydrogen can help in cleaner steelmaking. We found that:
▶️9% blend of #green H2 in steel making would ⬇️India's emissions footprint by 68%
▶️This #greensteel would be competitive with upper range of conventional steel costs at current rates
If #greenhydrogen costs fell to 1.3-2.2 USD/kg from the current 4-4.5 USD/kg, steelmaking based entirely on #green H2 could break even with #coal-based processes in #India. Globally, electrolyser manufacturers have already committed to a green H2 cost of 1.5 USD/kg by 2025.

Did developed countries meet the pre-2020 #climateaction commitments?
Our new study found that
➡️Major developed countries — including all G7 countries — cut #emissions by just 3.7%
➡️ Developed countries collectively consumed 25 GtCO2eq additional #carbon space
More👇
Why is the pre-2020 era significant?
All countries must now significantly raise #climate ambitions to limit warming to 1.5°C. But, given the principle of equity & common but differentiated responsibilities, the onus of reducing #emissions lay on #developed countries pre-2020.
To analyse the performance of developed countries, we developed a 1st-of-its-kind Pre-2020 #ClimateAction Ranking. We ranked the countries on their-
✅sincerity- seriousness to take #climateaction
✅action- overall #mitigation performance
