Developing a Comprehensive Emission Inventory for Bengaluru

CAPS is developing an emissions inventory for Bengaluru by estimating the emissions load from different sectors contributing to air pollution and analysing the spatio-temporal distribution of the emissions load.

Highlights

CAPS is developing an emissions inventory for Bengaluru by estimating the emissions load from different sectors contributing to air pollution and analysing the spatio-temporal distribution of the emissions load. The emission inventory will estimate emissions from various sources in the airshed area of Bengaluru (60 km X 60 km).

The study has the following key objectives:

1. Identification of pollution sources and various corresponding activities for every source in Bengaluru

2. Determination of the sectoral emissions load share

3. Grid-wise (1 km x 1 km grid) distribution of the emissions load over Bengaluru
