Report: Assessment of Energy Efficiency Improvement and CO2 Emission Reduction Potentials in India's Iron and Steel Industry
India's cement industry accounted for over six percent of the world's annual cement production and its iron and steel industry accounted for nearly five percent of the world's annual steel production in 2010. This study analyzed 22 and 25 energy efficiency measures applicable to India's cement and iron and steel industries. A forward looking bottom-up Conservation Supply Curve (CSC) model utilizes forecasted Indian cement and iron and steel demand, current adoption estimates for energy efficiency measures, and a stock roll-over methodology for each industry. The estimates from this study give a comprehensive perspective to the Indian cement and iron and steel industries and policy makers about the energy efficiency potential and its associated costs over the next twenty years.
