__________ accounts for 14% of National Greenhouse Gas emissions and consumes 18% of national electricity in India
Agriculture Sector
India's national greenhouse gas inventory reported to the UNFCCC shows that agriculture (enteric fermentation in livestock, paddy cultivation, fertiliser use and residue burning) contributes about 14% of total emissions.
The same sector also uses roughly 18% of the country's electricity, mainly for groundwater pumping through irrigation pump sets, often under free or subsidised power.
The energy and industry sectors have far larger emission shares, so the figures of 14% emissions and 18% electricity describe agriculture.
Hence, Agriculture Sector.
