India’s fossil fuel dominated energy mix poses various challenges to the country. First, the over-reliance on the imported fuel makes the country vulnerable supply challenges due to geopolitical turbulence in the energy producing regions, second, use of hydrocarbon sources has been adversely affecting the environment and human health, third, the growing dependency on import adds significant burden to the economy, and fourth, growing energy related emissions is adding to the concerns of global climate change.

Whereas the whole world is extending its sympathy and support to the people in Japan who are devastated from the recent earth quake, the consequent Tsunami and nuclear emergency, there are also many lessons for poor countries like India with dense population. A crucial lesson has been the folly of the misconception that the increasing reliance on modern technology alone will ensure safety, security and welfare of the masses even in a developed country such as Japan.

This paper discusses the method and results of a trend assessment of global CO2 emissions up to 2010 and updates the previous assessment of CO2 emissions up to and including 2009 (Olivier and Peters, 2010). This assessment includes not only fossil fuel combustion on which the BP reports are based, but also incorporates all other relevant CO2 emissions sources including flaring of waste gas during oil production, cement clinker production and other limestone uses, feedstock and other non-energy uses of fuels, and several other small sources.
