Challenges and Policy Implications of - a Low Carbon Pathway for Odisha - An Integrated Assessment Modelling Approach

An energy efficiency to the tune recursively dynamic model with multiple periods of 1.5 per cent concomitant with productivity to simulate changes as per policy targets for the growth of 1 per cent per annum leads to positive short, medium and long term for the low carbon growth in majority of the sectors in the State. [...] To keep up the pace of growth and development for the State and to meet the Given that the Government of India has declared aspirations of the people, the State needs to India will be a net-zero emitter by 2070, all continue generating electricity.
