This compendium is a joint effort of BEE and GTZ under Indo-German Energy Programme and indicates the consistent efforts of the Indian Industry to implement the use of energy efficient technologies.

The data collection and analyses in this second volume are based on the energy efficiency measures implemented during the year 2007-08, and reported to the Bureau as part of the Energy Conservation Awards Programme.

This volume compiles and analyses a set of 100 implemented industrial energy-efficiency best practices. The aggregated impact has been expressed in tons of CO2 mitigated over the assumed life cycle of the measure. The reported measures include investments in efficient boilers and cogeneration systems, recovery systems for waste heat, pipe insulation, and improved housekeeping.

All of these measures are cost effective in terms of achieving energy savings with relatively short payback periods.
