Hyderabad: Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) hosted a workshop aimed at accelerating the adoption of energy-efficient technologies in India’s industrial sector. The workshop attracted over 100 key stakeholders, including government officials and energy efficiency experts.
The workshop is part of the ongoing national initiative, ‘Creating and Sustaining Markets for Energy Efficiency,’ under the Global Environment Facility (GEF-6) cycle. During the workshop, waste heat recovery systems, advanced compressed air solutions, energy-efficient cooling mechanisms, turbo blowers, IE4 motors with VFDs, microturbines, and industrial automation technologies were discussed.
Shyam Sunder, Director, BEE, outlined BEE’s mission in steering India’s industries towards energy efficiency and climate change mitigation. He stressed the need for industries to adopt advanced technologies despite perceived risks, positioning these efforts as crucial to sustainable development.
During the event, Ravichandran Purushothaman, Chairman, Energy Efficiency, and Venkatagiri, Executive Director, CII, emphasised the role industries have to play in embracing new technologies. “Industries must lead the way by adopting energy-efficient solutions to drive operational excellence while minimizing environmental footprints,” he said.
The workshop highlighted the ADEETIE (Accelerating Demand for Energy-Efficient Technologies in Industrial Enterprises) scheme initiated by BEE. This programme promotes energy saving solutions through industry collaboration, capacity-building programmes, and direct support.
G Sreenivasulu, Deputy Executive Engineer, Andhra Pradesh State Energy Conservation Mission (APSCEM), presented the results of the PAT scheme in Andhra Pradesh’s energy-intensive industries. The State’s 59 industries are projected to save 1.16 million tonnes of oil equivalent, with further energy-saving measures being adopted in the thermal power sector.
Energy efficiency experts recognised the efforts of the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments in implementing energy-saving programs like PAT.
