Energy is the basic building block for socio-economic development. Our future economic growth depends on the long-term availability of energy in increasing quantities from sources that are accessible, easily available, socially acceptable and environment-friendly. However, the ever-increasing demand for energy is causing a depletion of scarce energy resources, such as coal, gas and fossil fuels, etc. In this context, this book elaborates on the concept of energy conservation, status of energy conservation in India,etc. Policymakers, energy managers, academia and the corporate sector will find it very valuable.
