vIndianz.com (Sept. 08, 2009) — India is going to establish energy efficiency targets for more than 700 industrial units by December next year, which account for 40 percent of India’s fossil fuel use.
Ajay Mathur, director-general of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, said India’s energy efficiency market was worth about $15 billion which could generate energy saving of up to two percent of the country’s total energy use now.
He added that the 714 energy-intensive industrial operations had been identified from nine sectors, including power and cement, which would be measured on efficient use of energy.
The scheme is among a number of emissions reduction measures India has announced that could bolster the nation’s position ahead of a U.N. gathering in Copenhagen in December aimed at trying to win agreement on a broader pact to fight climate change.
