Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) is a registered society setup in 1978 under the aegis of Ministry of petroleum & Natural Gas, Government of India. As a non-profit organization, PCRA is a national government agency engaged in promoting energy efficiency in various sectors of economy. It helps the government in proposing policies and strategies for petroleum conservation, aimed at reducing excessive dependence of the country on oil requirements. Over the years, PCRA has enlarged its role in improving productivity in use of various sources of energy, for the purpose of achieving environment protection and sustainable development

PCRA VISION


To become center of excellence for conservation of hydrocarbons & environment protection for sustainable development on our inherent, strength

PCRA MISSION

Efficient energy utilization and environment protection leading to improvement in quality of life.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Ø To formulate Strategies and promote measures for accelerating conservation of petroleum products leading to environment protection, energy security and sustainable development.

Ø To create awareness among masses about the importance, benefits and methods of conserving petroleum products & clean environment by enhancing information and capacity building.

Ø To promote research, development and deployment efforts aimed at petroleum conservation & environment protection, support & facilitate efforts for adoption and dissemination of fuel efficient technologies and substitution of petroleum products with alternate fuels and renewable.

Ø To establish synergistic institutional linkages at the national and international levels in the areas of petroleum conservation and environment protection.

Ø To provide training and technical advisory services, designed to achieve economy & efficiency in use of petroleum products for cleaner environment.

Ø To function as ‘Think Tank’ to the Government of India for proposing polices and strategies on petroleum conservation and environment protection aimed at reducing excessive dependence on oil.

Energy Efficiency – The fifth fuel

India consumed petroleum products worth Rs.4 lakh crores and its annual gross oil import bill was RS.3 lakh crores in 2008-09.

The demand of petroleum products in country is growing steadily at the rate of 2.5% per annum.

The need for additional crude oil can be minimized if we initiate strong energy efficiency measures.

PCRA is committed towards the fuel i.e. ‘energy efficiency’, augment the four conventional sources of energy of energy viz. coal, petroleum, nuclear and renewable. To achieve this, PCRA is relentlessly pursuing Demand Side Management as a cost effective alternative compared to augmenting supplies. This will also ensure India emerges as an environmentally responsible superpower.

INDUSTRY


PCRA’s programs focus on improvement in energy productivity through technological
Intervention, energy audit, fuel oil diagnostic study, small – scale industry energy survey, follow up study and institutional training in large, medium and medium and
small –scale industries.

INDUSTRIAL SECTOR :

Energy Audits and Fuel Diagnostic Studies :

PCRA activities in this sector include Energy Audits and Follow-Ups thereof, Fuel Oil Diagnostic Studies, Walk through Audits of the small – scale sector industrial. Seminars, Consumer Meets, Workshops, and Instructional Training Programmes. This sector accounts for month than 25% of the country’s total consumption of petroleum products with around similar level of conservation potential. During 2008-09, PCRA conducted 495 energy efficiency studies in the industrial sector that include Energy Audits (213). Fuel Oil Diagnostic Studies (163) and walk through Audits in Small Scale Industry (119). The Savings identified through these studies were 228777 KLOE (Rs.686 Crores) and the savings realized through follow up studies provided to clients for whom similar energy efficiency studies were conducted in the previous years was 74642 KLOE(Rs.224 crores) (Rate of FO=Rs.30000/- per KL).Some of the prominent Energy Audits carried out during 2008-09 include the following:
