About Speaker: Dr. @dr_yktiwari is a scientist at @iitmpune under @moesgoi since 2006. Currently he leads the Greenhouse Gas ( #GHG ) Observation Network in India, established with MoES IITM Pune funding. He also served as a Lead Author for #IPCC report.
About the Talk: #India , one of #SouthAsia 's fastest-growing economies, faces immense energy demands driven by its expanding industries. According to India’s Biennial Update Reports (BUR) submitted to the UNFCCC, total annual GHG emissions increased from 2,136.8 Mt CO₂e (1,884.3 Mt with LULUCF) in 2010 to 2,607.5 Mt CO₂e (2,306.3 Mt with LULUCF) in 2014. By 2016, emissions reached 2,838.89 Mt CO₂e (2,531.07 Mt with LULUCF), comprising 78.59% CO₂ (2,231 Mt), 14.43% CH₄ (409 Mt CO₂e), and 5.12% N₂O (145 Mt CO₂e). Using an inversion system with high-resolution transport models and surface and satellite #observations, India’s natural and anthropogenic methane emissions have been analyzed and compared with national reports. A top-down study estimated CH₄ emissions at 24.2 ± 5.3 Tg yr⁻¹, 19.2% higher than India’s BUR-3 estimate of 19.55 Tg yr⁻¹. In contrast, EDGAR (v4.3.2-2012) estimated CH₄ emissions at 32.6 Tg yr⁻¹, approximately 39% higher than BUR estimates. Another top-down study (2010-2015) reported average CH₄ emissions of 22.0 (19.6–24.3) Tg yr⁻¹, consistent with BUR-1 figures. This #webinar will highlight the measurement of carbon emissions, understanding transport dynamics, and future initiatives in India.
On the 27 March 2025, 15:30 - 17:00IST, as a part of IG3IS Webinar Series (Q1-Q2, 2025): Dr.Yogesh K Tiwari, Scientist F, IITM will be giving a talk titled "Tracking carbon emissions and transport in India: Insights from multi-platform observations and model simulations"

Check out our work on the 'First High‐Resolution Vertical Profiles of Methane in the Troposphere Over India'. These observations help understand CH4 variability and question the current emission estimates. @moesgoi@iitmpune https://t.co/s4AjLd810w
