Some Studies on Industrial Energy Conservation : Infotech Publishers : 9789588053233 : 9588053234 : 08 Oct 2022 : INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview Industries are the major contributors to the economic development of any country. In many In Asian countries including India, industries are vast in numbers in which most of the energy requirements are met through electrical energy followed by thermal energy. More than half of the total energy is used in industries, to operate various electrical equipment. Rapid industrialization has increased the consumption of primary energy sources in developing countries and is becoming a potential threat to global warming due to the increase in energy related GHG emissions. The increased use of energy has raised serious concerns about energy costs, demand, and CO2 emissions. Therefore, an assessment of the status of end-use efficiency, energy intensity, and related GHG emissions from the industrial sector particularly in developing countries is ver
