The aim is to investigate the relationships between renewable energy usage, fossil fuel consumption, and carbon emissions in India over several decades.
Used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Bayesian linear regression for analysis.
Covered the period from 1991 to 2024, focusing on carbon emissions and energy consumption patterns.
Performed diagnostic tests to validate the models.
A 1% increase in renewable energy consumption results in a 1.20% reduction in carbon emissions.
A 1% increase in fossil fuel consumption corresponds with a 1.51% increase in carbon emissions.
The Bayesian approach provided superior insights into uncertainty related to emissions data.
