In every industrial activity energy is used in various forms and is an issue of great importance to the industry as well as the nation. Energy is an issue that is directly connected to economic health, climate change and energy security of the nation. Hence the demand for sustainability is of growing importance by the day. Commonly used form of energy in most of the  industries are Electricity, compressed air, water, oils of various types, steam, etc. Where energy is consumed, wastages also go hand-in-hand. One is the wastage by way of leakages unaccounted wastes and the other one is inefficient use of energy by the equipment.

In many of the activities the cost of energy forms a considerable percentage of input cost. This is more visible with the increasing cost of energy available in the market, be it any form. In an effort to achieve the most competitive product cost the efforts are made to control the cost components where energy is the principal constituent.

The other aspect of energy efficiency is how efficiently the energy is used in the process. Efforts are being made by industry to:

• Increase production without increasing energy cost
• Use energy efficient equipment
• Consider payback period while investing in energy efficient equipment
• Start energy audits
• Rate products with star rating to promote energy efficient products

Standards Organizations have come out with various standards in respect of energy usage.  Energy used should not cause any detrimental effect on environment.

Keeping this in mind, IMTMA is conducting an online training program on Improving Energy Efficiency at Plant Level.
