<\/a><\/p>\nImportance of Energy Conservation<\/h2>\n
Energy conservation is essential for the following twin reasons:<\/p>\n
Sustainable Development<\/h3>\n\n- It refers to the process of not only producing sufficient sources of energy for the present but also incorporates the saving of energy sources to meet the needs of the future.<\/li>\n
- To accomplish this, one must try using more renewable sources of energy.<\/li>\n
- It is important to switch to efficient methods of pollution control such as using wind and solar energies.<\/li>\n
- Finally, the government suggests industries to reduce wastage and opt for efficient energy sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Global Warming<\/h3>\n\n- In addition to sustainable development, global warming must be reduced to conserve energy.<\/li>\n
- Global warming occurs primarily due to the combustion of fossil fuels.<\/li>\n
- This further leads to the release of gases such as methane and carbon dioxide.<\/li>\n
- The penetration of these gases into Earth\u2019s atmosphere engenders an increase in the global temperature.<\/li>\n
- This increase in temperature curtails the principles of energy conservation and results in the massive wastage of energy sources.<\/li>\n
- The major global warming contributors are industries, transportation, electricity and heat production, and agricultural activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Different Ways of Conserving Energy<\/h2>\n
Energy can be effectively conserved through the following means:<\/p>\n
Improving Energy Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n- Energy efficiency could be improved through some technological upgradations such as<\/li>\n
- Using LED lights instead of incandescent lights. This is because LED lights save about 25% of energy as compared to incandescent lights which save only 10%.<\/li>\n
- Using CNG enabled vehicles to avoid causing air pollution.<\/li>\n
- Replacing Conventional coal plants with supercritical ones as the latter are 45% more efficient than their basic counterparts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Wastage Prevention<\/h3>\n\n- Switching off electricity and appliances when not in use.<\/li>\n
- Substituting old sockets with new ones.<\/li>\n
- Using smart grid technologies.<\/li>\n
- Prefer commuting through public transports and opt for carpooling to reduce air pollution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Optimum Utilization of Energy Resources<\/h3>\n\n- Appropriate infrastructures of industrial, office, or private buildings.<\/li>\n
- The right selection of building materials.<\/li>\n
- Green buildings optimization for renovating residential areas and environmental surroundings.<\/li>\n
- Reduction in energy and water usage via green building initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Green Cities Certification<\/h3>\n
Nowadays, the government is trying every possible means to conserve energy and make it sustainable. For this, its green city project has been well received by the population.<\/p>\n
Some of the features of green cities are mentioned below:<\/p>\n
\n- Keep the development density higher at the centre of the town instead of the peripheries.<\/li>\n
- These high-density areas must be adequate water and transport facilities.<\/li>\n
- The outskirt areas should not have major constructions.<\/li>\n
- The building should be constructed as per the rules and regulations of the green buildings project.<\/li>\n
- The inhabitants must exercise eco-friendly lifestyles and abide by green city instructions.<\/li>\n
- All inhabitants must practice the art of energy conservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Use of Clean Technologies<\/h3>\n
Energy conservation can be achieved through the following technological advancements:<\/p>\n
\n- Cogeneration<\/strong>: It refers to the industrial process of utilizing the processed steam out of the electricity generation plants. This steam can be reused for heating purposes.<\/li>\n
- Off-grid renewable power:<\/strong> In this, use wind, biomass, and hydel energies for conservation.<\/li>\n
- Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT):<\/strong> It is a financial service that allows industries to trade energy saving certificates and increase their cost-effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Using Renewable Sources of Energy<\/h3>\n
To conserve energy, it is best to use resources that can be iteratively reused and replenished.<\/p>\n

Different Ways of Conserving Energy<\/h2>\n
Energy can be effectively conserved through the following means:<\/p>\n
Improving Energy Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n- Energy efficiency could be improved through some technological upgradations such as<\/li>\n
- Using LED lights instead of incandescent lights. This is because LED lights save about 25% of energy as compared to incandescent lights which save only 10%.<\/li>\n
- Using CNG enabled vehicles to avoid causing air pollution.<\/li>\n
- Replacing Conventional coal plants with supercritical ones as the latter are 45% more efficient than their basic counterparts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Wastage Prevention<\/h3>\n\n- Switching off electricity and appliances when not in use.<\/li>\n
- Substituting old sockets with new ones.<\/li>\n
- Using smart grid technologies.<\/li>\n
- Prefer commuting through public transports and opt for carpooling to reduce air pollution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Optimum Utilization of Energy Resources<\/h3>\n\n- Appropriate infrastructures of industrial, office, or private buildings.<\/li>\n
- The right selection of building materials.<\/li>\n
- Green buildings optimization for renovating residential areas and environmental surroundings.<\/li>\n
- Reduction in energy and water usage via green building initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Green Cities Certification<\/h3>\n
Nowadays, the government is trying every possible means to conserve energy and make it sustainable. For this, its green city project has been well received by the population.<\/p>\n
Some of the features of green cities are mentioned below:<\/p>\n
\n- Keep the development density higher at the centre of the town instead of the peripheries.<\/li>\n
- These high-density areas must be adequate water and transport facilities.<\/li>\n
- The outskirt areas should not have major constructions.<\/li>\n
- The building should be constructed as per the rules and regulations of the green buildings project.<\/li>\n
- The inhabitants must exercise eco-friendly lifestyles and abide by green city instructions.<\/li>\n
- All inhabitants must practice the art of energy conservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Use of Clean Technologies<\/h3>\n
Energy conservation can be achieved through the following technological advancements:<\/p>\n
\n- Cogeneration<\/strong>: It refers to the industrial process of utilizing the processed steam out of the electricity generation plants. This steam can be reused for heating purposes.<\/li>\n
- Off-grid renewable power:<\/strong> In this, use wind, biomass, and hydel energies for conservation.<\/li>\n
- Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT):<\/strong> It is a financial service that allows industries to trade energy saving certificates and increase their cost-effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Using Renewable Sources of Energy<\/h3>\n

Wastage Prevention<\/h3>\n\n- Switching off electricity and appliances when not in use.<\/li>\n
- Substituting old sockets with new ones.<\/li>\n
- Using smart grid technologies.<\/li>\n
- Prefer commuting through public transports and opt for carpooling to reduce air pollution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Optimum Utilization of Energy Resources<\/h3>\n\n- Appropriate infrastructures of industrial, office, or private buildings.<\/li>\n
- The right selection of building materials.<\/li>\n
- Green buildings optimization for renovating residential areas and environmental surroundings.<\/li>\n
- Reduction in energy and water usage via green building initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Green Cities Certification<\/h3>\n
Nowadays, the government is trying every possible means to conserve energy and make it sustainable. For this, its green city project has been well received by the population.<\/p>\n
Some of the features of green cities are mentioned below:<\/p>\n
\n- Keep the development density higher at the centre of the town instead of the peripheries.<\/li>\n
- These high-density areas must be adequate water and transport facilities.<\/li>\n
- The outskirt areas should not have major constructions.<\/li>\n
- The building should be constructed as per the rules and regulations of the green buildings project.<\/li>\n
- The inhabitants must exercise eco-friendly lifestyles and abide by green city instructions.<\/li>\n
- All inhabitants must practice the art of energy conservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Use of Clean Technologies<\/h3>\n
Energy conservation can be achieved through the following technological advancements:<\/p>\n
\n- Cogeneration<\/strong>: It refers to the industrial process of utilizing the processed steam out of the electricity generation plants. This steam can be reused for heating purposes.<\/li>\n
- Off-grid renewable power:<\/strong> In this, use wind, biomass, and hydel energies for conservation.<\/li>\n
- Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT):<\/strong> It is a financial service that allows industries to trade energy saving certificates and increase their cost-effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Using Renewable Sources of Energy<\/h3>\n
To conserve energy, it is best to use resources that can be iteratively reused and replenished.<\/p>\n
In fact, India plans to set up 175 GW of renewable energies in the country which includes:<\/p>\n
\n- 60 GW of wind power plants.<\/li>\n
- 100 GW of solar power plants.<\/li>\n
- 10 GW for biomass efficient energies.<\/li>\n
- 5 GW for hydropower plants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Wind Energy<\/h2>\n\n- India is the 4th largest wind energy-producing country in the world<\/li>\n
- The country and around 5400 MW of power to this energy source<\/li>\n
- National Offshore Wind energy policy plans to harness wind power across the 7600 km long coastline.<\/li>\n
- The National Wind Energy Mission proposes to add 60 MW of wind energy by 2022 and achieve a target of 4000MW wind energy in states<\/li>\n
- Draft National Solar Wind Hybrid policy aims to integrate the nation with one grid, one power network to achieve enhanced grid stability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Biofuels<\/h2>\n\n- National Policy on Biofuels brings about accelerated development and promotion of the cultivation, production, and use of Biofuels to substitute petrol and diesel for transport.<\/li>\n
- Bio-diesel production will be taken up from non-edible oil seeds in waste\/degraded \/ marginal lands.<\/li>\n
- An indicative target of 20% blending of biofuels, both for biodiesel and bioethanol, by 2017 has been proposed<\/li>\n
- The major thrust is being given to the development of second-generation Biofuels<\/li>\n
- An Indo-US MoU has been signed on Biofuels with focus on joint R&D, particularly on second-generation biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol and algal biodiesel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Small Hydro<\/h2>\n
Large hydropower projects are environmentally unsustainable due to its<\/p>\n
\n- Effect on the natural flow of rivers<\/li>\n
- Inundation of large area under the reservoir, including forest lands, which causes increased methane emissions<\/li>\n
- Problems of deforestation, siltation, etc<\/li>\n
- Issues associated with relocation and rehabilitation of human settlements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Small Hydro Power (SHP) projects(up to 25 MW) are preferred in place of large projects.<\/p>\n
\n\n\nClass<\/b><\/td>\n Station Capacity in kW<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nMicro Hydro<\/span><\/td>\n Up to 100<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nMini Hydro<\/span><\/td>\n 101 to 2000<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSmall Hydro<\/span><\/td>\n 2001 to 25000<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nThe Small Hydro Project program in India is essentially private investment-driven.<\/p>\n
Solar Energy<\/h2>\n\n- Solar power capacity in India reached 10 GW in 2017<\/li>\n
- India has both large-scale grid-connected solar PV initiatives such as the solar park scheme and grid-connected solar rooftop scheme and specialized schemes such as defense scheme, canal-top scheme, Indo-Pak border scheme, etc<\/li>\n
- Solar Radiation Resource Assessment stations have been installed across India by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to create a database of solar energy potential.<\/li>\n
- (Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission described in the initiatives section)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Waste to Energy<\/h2>\n\n- Any organic waste from urban and rural areas and industries is a resource due to its ability to get degraded, resulting in energy generation.<\/li>\n
- Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) estimates indicate that India has so far realized only about 2% of its waste-to-energy potential<\/li>\n
- The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is promoting all the Technology Options available for setting up projects for recovery of energy from urban wastes.<\/li>\n
- India\u2019s largest waste-to-energy plant was inaugurated at Narela-Bawana, Delhi in 2017<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Optimum Utilization of Energy Resources<\/h3>\n\n- Appropriate infrastructures of industrial, office, or private buildings.<\/li>\n
- The right selection of building materials.<\/li>\n
- Green buildings optimization for renovating residential areas and environmental surroundings.<\/li>\n
- Reduction in energy and water usage via green building initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Green Cities Certification<\/h3>\n
Nowadays, the government is trying every possible means to conserve energy and make it sustainable. For this, its green city project has been well received by the population.<\/p>\n
Some of the features of green cities are mentioned below:<\/p>\n
\n- Keep the development density higher at the centre of the town instead of the peripheries.<\/li>\n
- These high-density areas must be adequate water and transport facilities.<\/li>\n
- The outskirt areas should not have major constructions.<\/li>\n
- The building should be constructed as per the rules and regulations of the green buildings project.<\/li>\n
- The inhabitants must exercise eco-friendly lifestyles and abide by green city instructions.<\/li>\n
- All inhabitants must practice the art of energy conservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Use of Clean Technologies<\/h3>\n
Energy conservation can be achieved through the following technological advancements:<\/p>\n
\n- Cogeneration<\/strong>: It refers to the industrial process of utilizing the processed steam out of the electricity generation plants. This steam can be reused for heating purposes.<\/li>\n
- Off-grid renewable power:<\/strong> In this, use wind, biomass, and hydel energies for conservation.<\/li>\n
- Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT):<\/strong> It is a financial service that allows industries to trade energy saving certificates and increase their cost-effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Using Renewable Sources of Energy<\/h3>\n

Green Cities Certification<\/h3>\n
Nowadays, the government is trying every possible means to conserve energy and make it sustainable. For this, its green city project has been well received by the population.<\/p>\n
Some of the features of green cities are mentioned below:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Keep the development density higher at the centre of the town instead of the peripheries.<\/li>\n
- These high-density areas must be adequate water and transport facilities.<\/li>\n
- The outskirt areas should not have major constructions.<\/li>\n
- The building should be constructed as per the rules and regulations of the green buildings project.<\/li>\n
- The inhabitants must exercise eco-friendly lifestyles and abide by green city instructions.<\/li>\n
- All inhabitants must practice the art of energy conservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Use of Clean Technologies<\/h3>\n
Energy conservation can be achieved through the following technological advancements:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Cogeneration<\/strong>: It refers to the industrial process of utilizing the processed steam out of the electricity generation plants. This steam can be reused for heating purposes.<\/li>\n
- Off-grid renewable power:<\/strong> In this, use wind, biomass, and hydel energies for conservation.<\/li>\n
- Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT):<\/strong> It is a financial service that allows industries to trade energy saving certificates and increase their cost-effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Using Renewable Sources of Energy<\/h3>\n
