insignificant.
The details of N 2 O emission in 1994 are as follows:
N 2 O emission in 1994 was 178 gigagram contributing 4% of the total GHG
emissions. Agriculture sector was the major contributor accounting for 84%, followed
by fuel combustion (7%), industrial processes (5%), and waste (4%).
4.4 First Biennial Report 6 by India—2015
India submitted its first biennial updated report to the UNFCCC in 2015 in accordance
with the decision taken in the 16th session of the CoP to the UNFCCC. The report
contains the following major components with GHG inventory for the year 2010:
(a) National circumstances.
(b) National greenhouse gas inventory.
(c) Mitigation actions.
(d) Domestic monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) arrangement and
(e) Finance, technology, and capacity building needs and support received.
India’s net GHG emission in 2010 was 2,136,841.24 gigagram of CO 2 equivalent
(2,136.8 million tons of CO 2 eq.) from the energy, industrial processes and product
use, agriculture, and waste sectors (excluding LULUCF). The largest share of GHG
emission was contributed by the energy sector (70.7%), followed by the agriculture
(18.3%), industrial process (8%), and waste (3%). Land use, land-use change, and
forestry sectors were a net sink in 2010. Following are the highlights aggregate
emissions from the anthropogenic activities:
