SUNDARESHAN Secretary Message Energy is an important input for the socio-economic development of any country. Though India has 17% of the world population, its known oil and gas reserves are less than 1% of the global reserves. The Country imports about 80% of its requirement of petroleum products to meet the increasing demand, resulting in substantial outgo of foreign exchange. The need of the hour is therefore, to meet the energy demand in an efficient, reliable and sustainable manner while being sensitive to the concern for environmental protection. Energy conservation and energy efficiency provide the best and practical solution for cutting down the Nation’s energy demand which also help in environment protection by reducing CO2 emission. Energy efficiency investments in buildings, industry and transport usually have short pay-back periods and negative net abatement costs as the fuel cost savings over the lifetime of the capital stock often outweigh the additional capital cost of the efficiency measure, even when future savings are discounted. Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) has been proactively working in the field of conservation and efficient use of petroleum products through its various R&D projects and Field Activities like Energy Audits, Driver Training Programmes, Technical Workshops and Seminars etc. PCRA had relaunched the mega media campaign in January 2010 to educate the people on energy conservation practices possible in their day to day life. I am sure that the efforts of PCRA shall be useful in the cause of energy conservation for the nation. (S.

However, the growth in consumption of Petrol and Diesel at abnormally high rates of 12% and 10.6% respectively are neither sustainable nor desirable in the long run. For a country that imports more than 75% of its petroleum requirement, fuel conservation assumes a critical dimension in the country’s energy security. A drop of fuel saved is a drop of fuel produced. A strong fuel conservation programme can help us make considerable savings in our oil import bill. It can also give the country some respite from the highly volatile international oil prices witnessed in recent years. Fuel conservation and adoption of fuel efficiency practices are an important part of the country’s energy planning as well as for protecting the environment. PCRA, which was set up in 1978 has been conducting public awareness campaigns in this regard besides undertaking various programmes in the industrial, agriculture and transport sectors. PCRA’s Annual Report for 2009-10 provides a comprehensive picture of the work undertaken by it in these important areas. I am sure this Report will be well received by different stakeholders.

Due to rapid economic growth of the country, India’s oil demand is increasing every year. The country is however heavily dependent on import of oil to meet its increasing demand of energy. There is, therefore imperative need for efficient utilisation of existing energy resources and energy conservation in the various sectors of the economy to bring down dependence on oil imports. Transport Sector which accounts for about 50% of the country’s consumption of petroleum products, remained major area of focus for PCRA. During the year 2009-10, PCRA conducted 522 Driver Training Programmes (DTPs) covering over 12000 drivers and 84 Model Depot Projects (MDP). In addition to DTPs and MDPs, PCRA also organised 469 nos. of one-day Transport Workshops. During the year, PCRA associated actively with the Regional/National Industry bodies such as Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), GTZCDM India, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), The Bombay Textile Research Association (BTRA), The South India Textile Research Association (SITRA) in organizing various activities such as seminars, technical meets, training programmes on energy conservation and energy audits. These joint programmes proved very useful towards addressing effectively the issue of energy efficiency to the target audience apart from dissemination of information. For achieving the above objectives, PCRA engineers in association with empanelled external expert agencies reach out to the target groups with innovative and easy to implement energy conservation programmes. These activities are designed to cover a large spectrum of socioeconomic profile of our country in different sectors of economy viz. Industry, Transport, Domestic, Agriculture and Commercial. During the year 2009-10, PCRA conducted around 700 energy efficiency studies in the Industrial sector, which include Energy Audits, Fuel Oil Diagnostic Studies and walk through audits in various Industry types. The savings identified through these studies were about 88600 KLOE (about Rs. 266 crores) and the savings realised through follow up services (provided to clients where such studies were conducted in the previous years) was about 34800 KLOE (about Rs. 104 crores). Research and Development is another major important activity of PCRA. These activities provide strong support to PCRA’s energy conservation efforts by developing energy 10 efficient products / processes to improve energy efficiency. 2009-10, PCRA sponsored 8 different Research Institutes projects were completed. and technologies During the year new projects to and 17 nos. of Human Resources play a crucial role in the success of any organization. The officers are periodically exposed to various management development and functional programmes according to the training needs identified for each individual. Presently, PCRA is having a team of 36 nos. of certified Energy Auditors and Energy Managers. The successful completion of various activities of PCRA bears a testimony to the qualified, competent, dedicated and trained workforce of the organization. It has always been the endeavor of PCRA to sensitize people on the need for energy conservation in a number of ways. Towards this end, PCRA undertakes regular mass awareness and education campaign programmes. During the year, PCRA launched a mega media campaign “SAVE FUEL YAANI SAVE MONEY” in New Delhi to motivate the end users of petroleum products in various sectors to adopt fuel saving measures in their day-to-day life. The unstinted support and guidance provided by Chairman and Vice-Chairman of PCRA have been the source of strength to achieve the desired objectives. I gratefully acknowledge the help and support extended to PCRA by the senior executives of Oil Companies for providing valuable inputs as Members on various committees of PCRA. The untiring efforts and dedication of the PCRA officers in completing the assigned task deserves all the appreciation. Like previous years, PCRA in association with Oil Industry observed Oil and Gas Conservation Fortnight (OGCF) during the period, 15th-31st January 2010. The State Level Coordinators of Oil Marketing Companies conducted sector specific mass awareness activities for conservation of Oil and Gas.
