The main objective of the project was to conduct a study to estimate the distribution of energy consumption in the Chemicals sector. The study intended to support BEE in prescribing the threshold level of energy consumption in the sector, based on which a decision on including it in future PAT cycles will be taken, and possible energy saving potential can be identified. The Chemicals sector as a whole accounted for Alkali Chemicals (KOH, Na2CO3), Inorganic Chemicals, Organic Chemicals, Pesticides (Technical), Dyes, and Pesticides & Pharmaceuticals (API). This study also developed an overall methodology for calculating specific energy consumption along with the identification of various factors affecting it and its impact thereof.

The major activity of the project involved in developing unit-wise and product-wise energy consumption levels, based on the production and SEC numbers shared by the units. Both thermal and electrical energy numbers were evaluated to understand the overall energy consumption.

The targets were set for the overall sector by considering four separate sub-sectors. Overall category-wise energy consumption and reduction potentials were identified. A total of 59 units were analysed for target-setting, based on which the total energy consumption was 1.359 million TOE. A 5% reduction target was estimated, based on which there was a potential to have 37 DCs in the sector as a whole.

The intention behind the benchmarking study was to continue the knowledge transfer and facilitate cement plants in comparing their performance with their peers. Such comparisons help in the identification of potential areas for performance improvement.

For collecting data, CII-Godrej GBC prepared a detailed questionnaire involving all sectional parameters, from crusher to packing plant. The questionnaire was sent to more than 140 cement factories.

The majority of plants from all over India participated in this benchmarking study, and different parameters were recorded in various sections, from the data provided by the plants. The collected data was classified into different sections, and each section was compared with respect to section wise Specific Energy Consumption and other parameters.

The study also highlighted more than 300 best practices implemented in national and international cement plants, and more than 50 performance indicators in the cement industry, all recorded at one place for the benefit of the industry.

Monitoring techniques, parameters to be monitored, and frequency of monitoring were also provided in each section to further aid the stakeholders in achieving energy efficiency.

The benchmarking reveals the best values at which the industry is operating in each section, and the best practices and technologies to be adopted for assuming leadership in energy efficiency.

The Perform, Achieve & Trade (PAT) Scheme launched by BEE covers eight energy-intensive sectors. The first cycle of PAT started from April 1, 2012. BEE further plans to widen the coverage of the PAT scheme, in subsequent phases, by adding more new industrial subsectors, depending on the energy consumption. For new industrial segments, there is a need to study the energy consumption in detail, to establish the threshold limit for the eligibility for the designated consumers. This project was conceptualised for this purpose.

CII undertook the mapping of energy consumption in the automobile (assembly), beverages and distillery, chemical (other than petrochemical, chlor-alkali, and fertilizer), and dairy sectors in India.

CII also carried out the collection, compilation and analysis of energy-related data for the sectors, consultation workshops, and preparation of overview report of the above sectors, covering types, manufacturers, production, capacity utilisation, policy, energy consumption, etc. Through this study, CII suggested the sectors which can be included in subsequent phases of the PAT scheme, and suggested the threshold energy consumption for the new sectors.
