India is the world’s second-largest consumer of coal-based power, however, its per capita emission is far less than the global average, a fraction of what some of the world’s richest countries \u2013 such as the United States and Australia \u2013 emit, revealed a new analysis by Ember, an independent climate and energy think tank focused on accelerating the global electricity transition. According to research conducted by the organisation, the average person in India emits only half of what the average Canadian would do through coal power and eight times less than the average Australian.<\/p>\n
The data shows that countries such as Australia, South Korea, South Africa, and the United States are among the worst coal power emitters when the emission figures are adjusted for population size. While Australia has the highest per capita coal emissions in the world (the average Australian emits five times as much carbon dioxide from coal power than the average person globally), South Korea and the United States emit almost four times and three times the global average, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
