The source of carbon emissions in India
India is a vast land with abundant products. However, at this time, the problem of carbon emissions is gradually emerging. Exploring its source is a combination of various factors.
One is the way to use energy. India relies on fossil fuels for power supply, especially coal. Its coal reserves are quite abundant, and it is easy to use them, resulting in a high proportion of thermal power generation. When coal is burned, a large amount of carbide escapes and rises in the air, which is a major source of carbon emissions. Looking at the daily life, between urban and rural areas, factories operate, households are lit, and thermal power is relied on. This is the way of carbon emissions.
Second, the reason for the rise of industry. Indian industry has been booming in recent years, with manufacturing and metallurgical industries booming. In factories, furnaces are blazing, equipment is roaring, fuel is burned and materials are changed, and carbon is dispersed as waste gas. For example, when iron and steel smelting, ore is smelted and cast, coal coke helps to ignite, and carbon is emitted with smoke. The same is true in the chemical industry. During the reaction process, carbon components are released, resulting in increasing carbon emissions.
Third, the traffic is complicated. India has a large population, and the demand for transportation has soared. On the roads, motor vehicles are constantly flowing, and cars and motorcycles are driven by fuel. In the exhaust gas, carbon hydride, carbon monoxide and other carbon-containing substances are mixed. And although public transportation is available, it is still not enough to meet the needs of the public. The number of private vehicles has risen, and carbon emissions have increased as a result. Air shipping, also relying on fuel oil, travels long distances, and carbon emissions add up.
Fourth, the sign of agricultural operation. India is a large agricultural country, and farming activities are widespread. In the rice fields, the water is cultivated, and the anaerobic environment causes methane to escape. This is a strong greenhouse gas, and the carbon content is also high. Livestock and poultry are raised, cattle and sheep regurgitate, and methane comes out with belching gas. In addition, the burning of agricultural waste is also a source of carbon emissions. Every harvest season, fireworks and carbon ash fly in the fields.
To sum up, India's carbon emission sources are wide and diverse, and energy, industry, transportation, and agriculture are all important. To slow down the trend of carbon emissions, we need to take measures in many ways, reform the energy structure, improve industrial energy efficiency, strengthen traffic regulations, and improve agriculture. In this way, we can hope to achieve a balance between the environment and development.
