The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has built a demonstration centre under the direction of the ministry of power in a key step towards promoting sustainable technology and addressing the critical need for energy efficiency in diverse industry sectors. The facility wants to strengthen capacity-building initiatives and act as a one-stop shop for energy professionals all over India. Additionally, it will promote best practises, stimulate knowledge exchange, and offer significant contributions for national energy strategies.
Krishan Pal, a minister of state for power and heavy industries, officially opened the Unnat Takniki Pradarshan Kendra at the National Power Training Institute (NPTI) in Badarpur, New Delhi. To aid in the decarbonization efforts in these areas, the centre aims to develop cutting-edge technologies such as solar thermal, carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS), and hydrogen. The facility will also make it easier to find technology information and present energy-saving innovations.
Krishan Pal emphasised the significance of the demonstration centre and how it is consistent with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's objective to advance technical advancement and environmentally friendly business practises in India. The institution is anticipated to assist significant industry sectors in their attempts to increase energy efficiency while boosting the national economy.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Power, Alok Kumar, expressed his happiness at presenting the country with this cutting-edge demonstration facility. He emphasised that the institution will be crucial in encouraging energy efficiency and environmentally friendly practises in five important industries: cement, iron and steel, pulp and paper, textiles, and chlor-alkali.
The centre will serve as a focal point for displaying non-working prototypes of tried-and-true technologies recognised under the Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) programme of the BEE by enhancing access to contemporary energy efficiency services, technologies, and knowledge, he continued.
The demonstration centre has two lecture halls and three demo halls. The ground floor is reserved for the cement industry, the first floor is used for the iron & steel and pulp & paper industries, and the second floor is used for the textile and chlor-alkali industries. The energy-efficient technologies on display in these rooms include systems for pre-processing raw materials and alternative fuels, feeding configurations for calciners, and waste heat recovery techniques.
For the purpose of advanced research cooperation and technology transfer, the centre will work with foreign institutions. The hub will offer cutting-edge facilities for networking, conferences, training courses, and information sharing on energy-efficient technology once it is fully operational.
