The Energy sector, which includes the consumption of fossil fuels in the country and their associated fugitive emissions, is the main GHG emitting sector in the country, contributing to 75 per cent of the total GHG emissions in 2016 (excluding LULUCF). The total emissions from the energy sector were 21,29,428 Gg CO2e in 2016, increasing by 11.5 per cent since 2014, mainly due to the steady increase in the country's energy consumption, including the consumption of coal and natural gas for power generation and the consumption of liquid fuels for transportation. Figure 2.7 shows the relative distribution of GHG emissions across the energy sector.
