WORKING PAPER - Assessing the scale of zero-emission truck deployment required for meeting India’s

17 Apr 2024

In 2070, TTW emissions are zero in both the India Net-Zero 2070 and Ambitious scenarios compared to the Baseline scenario, indicating the mitigation potential of these scenarios in reaching the India’s 2070 net-zero target. [...] Importance of grid decarbonization In the Ambitious scenario, the ambitious decarbonized grid and the use of green hydrogen results in a 97% WTW CO2 emissions reduction in 2070. [...] By 2070, assuming the ambitious decarbonized grid, the India Net-Zero 2070 scenario results in a 55.5% cumulative emissions reduction, reducing further to 66.0% with additional policies in place; without a decarbonized grid and the use of green hydrogen, however, the cumulative reduction over the Baseline in the India Net-Zero 2070 scenario would be limited to only 53%. [...] ORG As shown in Figure 14, under the India Net-Zero 2070 scenario, reductions in the HDT segment could constitute roughly 17% of the CO2 emissions reduction envisioned in the Panchamrit by 2030, while under the Ambitious scenario, the HDT segment has the potential to achieve approximately 27% of this target.
