THE INITIATIVE
A collaborative effort toward transparent, data-driven climate reporting.
The Assam Greenhouse Gas Inventory is the state's comprehensive platform for tracking emissions across all major sectors. Developed under ASAPCC 2.0, it brings together data from multiple departments into a unified, transparent view of Assam's carbon footprint.
Data-Driven
Evidence-based climate policy grounded in robust emissions data.
Transparent
Open, accessible reporting aligned with international standards.
Collaborative
Multiple departments contributing data under a unified framework.
Action-Oriented
Multiple departments contributing data under a unified framework.

Why a State-Level Inventory Matters
India's national climate commitments — including the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) — require states to track and report their emissions. Assam, with its rich forests, tea estates, agriculture, and growing industry, plays a critical role in this national effort.
A state-level inventory enables targeted mitigation strategies, identifies high-emission sectors, and ensures that climate finance is directed where it has the greatest impact.
SUMMARY
Essential findings from Assam's Greenhouse Gas Inventory - a snapshot of the state's emissions landscape.
LARGEST EMITTING SECTOR
Energy
Energy accounts for 93.65% of Assam's gross emissions in 2024, making it the priority focus for mitigation.
Gross GHG emissions CAGR
24.88%
Gross GHG emissions, including LULUCF, increased from 6.71 MtCO₂e in 2015 to 49.59 MtCO₂e in 2024, resulting in a 24.88% CAGR over the 2015–2024 period.
AGRICULTURE SHARE
2.30%
Agriculture contributed 2.30% of Assam's 2024 emissions excluding LULUCF, equivalent to approximately 1.14 MtCO₂e.
CARBON SEQUESTRATION
3.71 MtCO₂e
Assam's forests sequestered approximately 3.71 MtCO₂e in 2023, offsetting a significant portion of the state's gross GHG emissions through LULUCF removals.
NET EMISSIONS TREND
49.59 MtCO₂e
Total 2024 emissions excluding the Forestry/LULUCF component are 49.59 MtCO₂e, comprising Energy, Agriculture, IPPU and Waste.
FASTEST GROWING SECTOR
+89.12%
Energy recorded the highest growth among the sectors, increasing from 24.56 MtCO₂e in 2015 to 46.44 MtCO₂e in 2024, an overall increase of 89.12%.
