Energy conservation study of Berger Becker Coatings Pvt Ltd (Plants: Goa and Nagpur)

June 1, 2021

| Energy Efficiency

The objective of the study is to examine the present level of energy consumption of various facilities/ equipment and assess their operational performance to identify implementable energy conservation measures (ECMs). The specific objectives of the proposed study are as follows: I) To identify thrust areas for energy conservation. ii) To recommend new energy-efficient technologies and best operating practices. iii) To quantify the extent of energy savings/reduction in energy bills achievable.

Cluster mapping of secondary steel sector in India and identification of minimum 2 clusters per sub sector for further deep dive activities

May 5, 2021

| Energy Efficiency

A data analysis of secondary steel sub-sectors at cluster level will be carried out to assess the energy consumption of the sector. The secondary steel sub-sectors covered under the study include foundry, forging, steel re-rolling, sponge iron, electric arc furnace and electric induction furnace. The project will identify potential clusters in each sub sector for deep diving activities by developing a selection matrix.
