Annual Report 2011-12 3

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Our economy requires increasing inputs of energy to have fast track growth and to sustain the momentum. As petroleum forms a major part of our present energy basket, its demand is likely to go up considerably in coming years. On the other hand, our domestic oil production is able to meet only 25% of our requirement, and the balance demand of petroleum product is met through imports, causing huge drain on foreign exchange earnings. To lessen such recurring import burden, we need to conserve petroleum products in all sectors of economy.

Oil and Gas conservation behoves every one to efficiently use these scarce resources in the interest of the nation and protection of the environment. Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA), under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, has been engaged in sustained efforts to encourage and assist consumers in all major sectors of economy viz. Transport, Industry, Domestic, Commercial and Agriculture to adopt simple and workable Oil & Gas conservation measures.

I am sure that the information given in this Annual Report 2011-12 shall be useful to all the stakeholders.

VICE-CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Energy is the most vital input for the socio-economic development of a nation. Oil is the world’s leading fuel, at 33% of global energy consumption due to its versatility and will remain so in future also. As our domestic crude production is unable to keep pace with high growth in demand of petroleum products, it is a challenge to meet the demand of petroleum products of all segments of population in an efficient, reliable and affordable manner while being sensitive to the concern for environmental protection. As a result, a very high priority has been given by the Government for conservation of petroleum products so as to contain the gap between demand and supply as well as control environment pollution.

The conservation of petroleum products can be achieved through its better and more efficient use, resulting in attainment of higher fuel efficiencies, minimization of wasteful practices and protection of the environment. Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA), since its inception in the year 1978, has been actively working in the field of conservation and efficient usage of petroleum products in major sectors of economy.

I am sure that the efforts of PCRA in future too shall be useful in the cause of the conservation and benefit the people.

PREFACE

The extreme volatility in oil price in international market and country’s heavily dependence on oil import to meet its energy need is a matter of serious concern. There is an imperative need for efficient utilization and conservation of petroleum products through various means. There exists huge potential for saving of these scarce resources in major sectors of economy viz. domestic, transport, industry, agriculture and commercial. A small saving of just 2% of the petroleum products, by practicing simple fuel saving tips / practices, the country would be able to save around ` 8000 crores in a year.

Petroleum Conservation Research Association, a registered society under Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, has been making constant endeavour to create awareness amongst end users on various conservation measures to save fuel and to formulate and implement strategies for efficient utilization of petroleum products. PCRA designed its various conservation activities to cover a large spectrum of socio-economic profile of the country in different sectors of economy viz. Industry, Transport, Domestic, Agriculture and Commercial.

During the year 2011-12, PCRA conducted around 650 Energy Efficiency Studies in the Industry sector, which include Energy Audits, Fuel Oil Diagnostic Studies and Walk through Audits in various small and medium scale Industries.

Transport Sector, which accounts for almost 50% of the country’s total consumption of petroleum products, remained major area of focus for PCRA. During the year 2011-12, PCRA conducted 605 Driver Training Programmes (DTPs) covering around 12000 drivers and 99 Model Depot Projects (MDPs). In addition to DTPs and MDPs, PCRA also organised 708 nos. of one-day Transport Workshops.

In last year, PCRA associated actively with the National and International organizations such as Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), Tamilnadu Electricity Consumers Association (TECA), Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP), The Bombay Textile Research Association (BTRA), The South India Textile Research Association (SITRA), Northern India Textile Research Association (NITRA) and Energy Conservation Center Japan (ECCJ) in organizing various activities such as seminars, technical meets, training programmes on energy conservation and energy audits. These joint programmes proved very useful towards addressing effectively the issue of energy efficiency to the target audience apart from dissemination of information.

Research and Development is another important activity of PCRA. These activities provide strong support to PCRA’s energy conservation efforts by developing energy efficient products / processes to improve energy efficiency. During the year 2011-12, PCRA completed 7 nos. of projects and sponsored 2 new projects to different Research Institutions.

Education Campaign is used as a communication tool to create mass awareness on efficient utilization of energy resources, a tool that is effective in bringing attitudinal changes through sustained efforts using various medium of communication. PCRA, during the year 2011-12, undertook regular mass awareness and education campaign programmes to motivate the end users of petroleum products in various sectors to adopt fuel saving measures in their day-to-day life. The mass awareness among all sections of society is created through various activities such as printed literature, exhibitions, outdoor publicity, print & electronic media etc.

Like previous years, PCRA in association with Oil Industry, observed Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight (OGCF) during the period 15th-31st January 2012. The State Level Coordinators of Oil Marketing Companies conducted sector specific mass awareness activities for conservation of Oil and Gas. During OGCF’12, PCRA organized various technical seminars, conferences, workshops, National Level Painting Competition and National & State Level Essay Competition for students in Hindi, English and twelve regional languages.

In the past 33 years, PCRA has conducted more than 13,500 energy efficiency studies in small, medium and large-scale industries. These include petroleum refineries, drilling rigs, integrated steel plants, fertilizers plants, petrochemical complexes, steel re-rolling mills, dairy plants etc. With a view to disseminate energy efficiency strategies, PCRA has been writing technical books on energy conservation. With these objectives, PCRA published two technical books on energy conservation titled “Practical Guide to Energy Conservation in Ceramic Industry” and “Energy Audit Manual for Textile Industries” and one book titled “Young Minds in Oil Conservation” which is the compilation award winning essays & paintings.

Human Resources play an important role in the success of any organization. HR has periodically exposed the officers to various managerial development and functional programmes according to the training needs identified for each individual. Presently, PCRA is having a team of 26 certified Energy Auditors and Energy Managers. The successful completion of various activities of PCRA bears a testimony to the qualified, competent, dedicated and trained workforce of the organization.

The unstinted support and guidance provided by Chairman and Vice-Chairman of PCRA have been the source of strength to achieve the desired objectives. I gratefully acknowledge the help and support extended to PCRA by other senior officers of Ministry, as well as executives of Oil & Gas PSUs for providing valuable inputs.

My special appreciation is for PCRA officers for their untiring efforts and dedication in completing the assigned tasks.

EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

Petroleum, a vital component of primary energy in India, is essential to our economic development and also to the improvement in the quality of life of our citizen. With the demand for Oil and Gas outstripping indigenous production, the real challenge is to find alternatives for reliable and sustainable sources for energy. While supply side management is required, it is equally important to conserve energy by its efficient use and eliminate wastages.

Various studies suggest substantial oil saving potential in Industry, Transport, Agriculture and Domestic sector. Oil conservation through efficiency improvement provides the least cost and environment friendly option for capacity creating in the shortest time frame.

Mega Camapign :

There is a potential to save precious petroleum products to the extent of 20% by adoption of conservation techniques by the masses. However, bringing in behavioural changes is not a one-

time exercise and it takes a long time to become a habit. Hence, in order to inculcate the habit of “Fuel-Saving” and to maintain a continuous communication to reinforce the learning, in year 2009, PCRA, for the first time launched a nation wide awareness campaign “SAVE FUEL YAANI SAVE MONEY”. Based on its encouraging feedback and as decided after detailed deliberation and presentation before Hon’ble Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas, 2nd phase of campaign was undertaken in year 2010. The 2nd phase was also found to be successful as emerged from the findings of the independent survey agency report. Hence, Governing Body of PCRA in its 49th meeting decided to undertake 3rd phase of the Mega campaign “SAVE FUEL YAANI SAVE MONEY” with the existing creatives.

The campaign was carried out during February’12 to March’12 on Television, Radio and Print in staggered manner to achieve proper reach and effectiveness.

COORDINATION & HUMAN RESOURCES

The manpower requirement of PCRA is drawn from Oil & Gas PSUs viz. IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, OIL, GAIL etc. on deputation basis normally for a period of five years. The period of deputation, however, can be extended or reduced with mutual consent of concerned Oil PSU and PCRA. After completion of the deputation period, the PCRA employee is repatriated back to his/her parent organization.

Since a large number of energy conservation related activities are carried out by PCRA, a comprehensive induction programme is initially planned for each employee so that he/she gets familiarised with the specialised work of PCRA in energy conservation field and also acclimatises with the work culture in a new set up vis-à-vis earlier postings.

In the Head Quarter of PCRA in New Delhi, the manpower is organized on functional basis like R&D, Education Campaign, Field Activities and in service functions like Finance, Coordination & HR. PCRA offices also exist in Metros as Regional Offices and in major cities around the country as Sub-Regional Offices.

The main functions of C&HR Department are as follows:

y To formulate HR policies, to ensure consistent application of human resource policies, selection on deputation, training, employees’

perks / benefits, administration, discipline and employees’ appeals.

y To plan, administer and control the establishment and related services for smooth conduct of PCRA jobs.

y To convene Governing Body and Executive Committee meetings.

y To provide extensive and specialized type of training to PCRA personnel in the field of energy efficiency and environment.

y To coordinate various activities of OGCF function with Oil & Gas PSUs.

C&HR facilitates PCRA engineers in successfully completing the Energy Manager & Energy Auditor certification examination of Government of India. Presently, PCRA is having a good team of 30 Nos. of Certified Energy Auditors and 1 No. of Certified Energy Manager.

BOOKS ON ENERGY COSERVATION

PCRA, since its inception in the year 1978, has been actively engaged in energy efficiency improvement efforts specifically, the conservation of petroleum products in the major economic sectors of industry, transport, agriculture, domestic and commercial buildings. PCRA, during the last 33 years, has conducted more than 13,500 energy efficiency studies in small, medium and large industries. These include petroleum refineries, drilling rigs, integrated steel plants, fertilizer plants, petrochemical complexes, steel re-rolling mills, dairy plants and a large number of small and medium enterprises. In a way, PCRA is a big repository of data on energy saving measures.

To document and disseminate the field data on energy savings technologies amongst the end users of energy, PCRA has been writing books, with a view to propagate energy efficiency strategies, to be referred by various industries to realize the energy savings potential. The motive behind books is to create awareness among the users to save energy through energy efficient processes for energy security and to improve carbon footprints.

With these objectives, PCRA has written and published the following books on energy conservation.

¾ Practical Guide to Energy Conservation in Ceramic Industry

The ceramic industry in India predominantly uses petroleum products as a source of energy. Energy cost in ceramic industry is as high as 40% of total production costs. A substantial amount

of energy could be saved by preventing leakages in kilns, through improved controls of the combustion process, recovering and recycling heat generated by firing, as well as through improved designs of kilns and other equipment /machinery.

PCRA in collaboration with the Central Glass & Ceramics Research Institute, Khurja (UP) intervened in this sector for its efficiency improvement with highly encouraging results. Based on these experiences, PCRA has brought out the book title “Practical Guide to Energy Conservation in Ceramic Industry”. The book covers in detail the energy conservation opportunities in energy-intensive Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) ceramics cluster and provides information on improved energy-efficient technologies. It also


brings out the huge potential for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to be realized through the adoption of these technologies. The book will encourage entrepreneurs in adopting measures having a low payback period with higher returns.

¾ Energy Audit Manual for Textile Industries

The rational use of energy calls for a broad application of energy conservation technologies in the various industrial sectors where energy is sub optimally used. Textile Industry is one of the identified energy intensive industrial sectors, which needs to improve efficiency through the introduction of modern energy conservation technologies.

The Indian Textiles Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic scenario of the country. Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life, the textiles industry also plays a pivotal role in employment generation and export earnings of the country. The Textile Industry in India is one of the oldest and largest manufacturing sectors in the country.

The need of energy conservation has assumed prime importance due to the rapid growth of textile process industries resulting in substantial energy consumption in their operations. Further, energy is one of the main cost factors in the Textile Industry. In present times of high-energy price, improving energy efficiency becomes a primary concern for textile plants.

In order to promote energy conservation in the Textile Industry, PCRA along with Energy Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ), Northern India

Textile Research Association (NITRA) and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) has brought out the book title “Energy Audit Manual for Textile Industries”. This manual seeks to make energy efficiency as a practical reality instead of being a policy mandate or a directive. In the manual, energy savings techniques have been presented in simple ways, which are easily comprehensible to the facility managers who make daily decisions about utility use and system maintenance. This book fulfils long felt need for a systematic support for achieving energy efficiency to facilitate Textile Industry in becoming internationally competitive.

¾ Young Minds in Oil Conservation

PCRA believes that Conservation of Petroleum products needs to be understood by the Youth who besides being responsible as future energy users of the country, can also motivate mindset of adults on this issue. Keeping this in mind, PCRA has been organizing


National & State Level Essay competition and National Level painting competition amongst students on this important issue of petroleum conservation.

The essays and the paintings of the youth provide an insight into the minds and the importance that is accorded by them on this important issue. An effort has been made to compile the award winning paintings & essays of 2010 when essay competition was organized in Hindi, English, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali. The essays in different languages are thought provoking and innovative. It is heartening to note from these essays that the young minds in our country are highly inspired by advanced technologies in the field of energy conservation around the world. The award winning paintings mark the originality of imagination of young children that aptly portray their creative minds.

PCRA feels that such compilation of award winning essays and paintings would act as a catalyst for the youth to focus their thoughts on Energy Conservation and would act as a handy documentation for future reference. With this idea, PCRA has brought out the book title “Young Minds in Oil Conservation”

containing award winning essays and paintings, which were given away during Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight 2010.

The book is dedicated to the youth of our country to inspire them to make conservation as a mantra in their lives and also encourage their family and friends to practice fuel conservation tips.

1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of PETROLEUM CONSERVATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION as at 31st March 2012 and also the Income and Expenditure Account and Receipt and Payment Account for the year ended on that date annexed thereto.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
