abstract = {In recent years, India developed the world's 2nd largest
telecom network based largely on mobile phone connections.
The energy demand of the telecom sector especially in rural
areas is mainly fueled by diesel combustion in mid-size
generators due to either lack of grid power or unstable
provision of electricity. This study quantifies the
magnitude of emissions from the Indian telecom sector and
presents a gridded inventory for the year 2011 with a
spatial distribution derived on the provincial level
including information on urban versus rural telecom
installations. The estimated total NOx, PM, CO, BC, SO2, HC
and CO2 emissions are found to be 295 ± 196 Gg/yr, 155 ±
108 Gg/yr, 61 ± 41 Gg/yr, 28 ± 18 Gg/yr, 114 ± 12 Gg/yr
19.50 ± 13 Gg/yr and 27.9 ± 12 million tons/yr,
respectively. The future development of emissions from this
sector will depend on the rate of electrification and
possible market saturation. Air quality in rural areas of
India could be improved by replacing diesel generators with
renewable energy sources or electricity from the grid.},
