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.
