BARRIERS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPLEMENTATION IN INDUSTRIES

Abstract

The energy consumption of the industries in U.P is around 8% among the several energy consuming sectors. The most energy consuming sector in U.P is the residential sector with 80.36% of the total energy consumption followed by the industrial and transport sector with energy consumption share of approx. 8% and 7% respectively. In the industries, electricity is the fourth most consumed energy with 13.61% of share among the coal (46.24%), diesel (15%) and fuel wood (23.83%). The Drivers & Barriers is based on insight into the consumer's choice and decision making behavior which are very important parameters in the implementation of the energy efficiency. It demonstrates that a good idea may move and inspire people, but it takes more to make them act towards the implementation of the energy efficiency.
