In this paper, we study the concept of energy efficiency and specific energy consumption (SEC) of manufacturing processes.

In this paper, we present experimental results on specific energy consumption (SEC) in a number of manufacturing processes.

The objective of this study has been to model the Energy Efficiency (EE) of the Indian cement industry, in the context of the diversity and the challenges in operating conditions, in order to provide analysis and insights for the successful implementation of PAT.

Sustainable economic development necessitates a careful design of the energy infrastructure.

Quality of Life for All: A Sustainable Development Framework for India's Climate Policy

This study placed improving quality of life at the centre of India's national climate policy and asked what happens to greenhouse gas emissions with such an approach. Using bottom-up scenario analyses, the sectoral interventions modelled in this research demonstrate that it is possible to get close to achieving the country's climate targets while improving quality of life at the same time. 

The Indian mobile telecom industry, one of the fastest growing sectors in India, had 5843 million subscribers in 2010-11 registering an annual growth rate of 4915%. The energy consumed by the sector was 163 PJ and the corresponding CO2 emission was estimated at 329 million tons. In this paper, the mobile telecom industry is dis-aggregated into various segments, based on the life-cycle of the device, and each segment’s contribution to the overall energy consumption and its respective CO2 emissions are discussed.
