In today’s world, energy is the most vital input for the socio-economic development of a nation. Petroleum products account for 39% of total energy consumption. As a result of very steep increase in crude oil prices in the recent past, the impact felt across the world has been severe. As our domestic crude production is unable to keep pace with high growth in demand of oil and gas, the country is heavily dependent (to the extent of over 80%) on imports resulting in huge outgo of foreign exchange. Hence, a very high priority has been given by the Government for conservation of petroleum products so as to reduce ever increasing gap between demand and indigenous supply of petroleum products and also to contain the pollution.
Oil and gas conservation can be achieved through their better and more efficient use, resulting in attainment of higher energy efficiencies, minimization of wasteful practices and protection of the environment. There is a tremendous scope for energy conservation and energy efficiency in transport, industry, agriculture, domestic and commercial sectors. Investment in higher energy efficiency projects, in due course, results in an economic win-win proposition for all. The widespread adoption of currently available best practices towards improving energy efficiency is the most significant short-term action we can take to mitigate the rise in greenhouse gases. In the transport sector, developing and commercializing technologies that allow conventional fossil fuels to be used more efficiently, should be our main focus.
To focus adequate attention on the importance of Oil & Gas conservation, Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) launched a Media Campaign “SAvE FUEL YAANI SAvE MONEY” to spread awareness and bring about attitudinal changes amongst the masses towards fuel efficiency and petroleum conservation in all petroleum intensive sectors of India viz. Transport, Domestic, Industry, Agriculture and Commercial Sectors.
I hope that the information given in this Annual Report 2008-09 will be useful to the various stakeholders.

Extreme volatility in International Crude Oil prices last year has impacted global economies including India. While now the prices have declined, there is a need for taking vigilant and cautious steps in managing domestic oil consumption.
As a nation, there is a challenge to meet the energy requirements of all segments of population in an efficient, reliable and affordable manner while being sensitive to the concern for environmental protection. PCRA under MOP&NG, Govt. of India has been making constant endeavours to spread awareness amongst masses on various conservation measures to save fuel and to formulate and implement strategies for efficient utilization of petroleum products.
We do not have any control over the international crude oil price, but we can certainly implement fuel efficiency and fuel conservation measures. It has been proved that these result in large savings in fuel consumption resulting in monetary savings for the consumers and savings in turn in the import bill.
I am happy to note that PCRA has made consistent efforts in the area of energy conservation through Energy Audits, Driver Training Programmes and other mass awareness programmes. The PCRA’s Media Campaign “SAvE FUEL YAANI SAvE MONEY” had received an encouraging response from all sections of the society and has been able to spread the message of Fuel Conservation.
I am sure that the efforts of PCRA in future too shall be useful in the cause of the conservation and benefit the people.

India is emerging a major player in the world economy and international energy market. To sustain the economic growth rate of 8 to 9%, India’s energy needs are projected to grow at a rate of 3.0 – 3.5% per annum. With 17% of the world population, India’s known oil and gas reserves are less than 1% of the global reserves. The country is thus heavily dependent on import of oil. There is, therefore imperative need for efficient utilisation of existing energy resources to bring down dependence on imports. Energy efficiency of a nation’s economy is measured by energy intensity being the ratio of total primary energy consumption to gross domestic product. Although during the last 3 decades, India’s energy intensity has reduced by 2.5 times, still it remains 1.5 times of the global average. Under the situation, it is vital to improve energy efficiency across various sectors of economy by formulating strategies to promote measures for energy conservation for sustainable growth of the economy, country’s energy security and environmental protection.
For achieving the above objectives, PCRA engineers in association with empanelled external expert agencies reach out to the target groups with innovative energy conservation programmes. These activities are designed to cover a large spectrum of socio-economic profile of our country in different sectors of economy viz. Industrial, Transport, Domestic, Agriculture and Commercial.
During the year 2008-09, PCRA conducted 495 energy efficiency studies in the Industrial sector, which include Energy Audits (213), Fuel Oil Diagnostic Studies (163) and walk through audits (119) in various Industry types. The saving identified through these studies were 228777 KLOE and the savings realised through follow up services provided to clients where such studies were conducted in the previous years was 74642 KLOE. The monetary value of savings identified and savings realised during this financial year 2008-09 were Rs.686 crores and Rs.224 crores respectively.
Transport Sector which accounts for about 50% of the country’s consumption of petroleum products, remained another major area of focus for PCRA during the year 2008-09. PCRA, during the year, conducted 642 Driver Training Programmes (DTPs) covering over 12000 drivers which resulted in realisation of savings to the tune of 31417 tonnes of fuel oil worth Rs. 101.35 crores. PCRA also conducted 109 Model Depot Projects (MDP) in transport sector, resulting in saving of 645.2 tonnes of fuel oil i.e. Rs. 2.08 crores. In addition to DTPs and MDPs, PCRA also organised 440 one-day transport workshops.
During the year, PCRA associated actively with the Regional/National Industry bodies such as Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), The Bombay Textile Research Association (BTRA), The South India Textile Research Association (SITRA) in organizing the activities such as seminars, technical meets, training programmes 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.
PREFACE

In order to generate awareness at traffic intersections about the quantum of fuel that is wasted due to continued ignition of vehicles, PCRA sponsored a study on Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) on the traffic intersections in Delhi. This study revealed that the fuel loss due to idling of vehicles at 600 intersections in Delhi is estimated to be Rs. 994 crores per annum. To avoid the fuel loss due to idling of vehicles at traffic intersections, a unique initiative of installing Countdown Timers in conjunction with Variable Message Signboards was taken up by PCRA during the year 2008-09 in Delhi, Navi Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
Research and Development is another major important activity of PCRA. These activities provide strong support to PCRA’s energy conservation efforts by developing energy efficient products / processes and technologies to improve energy efficiency. During the year 2008-09, PCRA sponsored 9 new projects to different Research Institutes and 11 nos. of projects were completed.
It has always been the endeavor of PCRA to sensitize people on the need for energy conservation in a number of ways. Towards this end, PCRA undertakes regular mass awareness and education campaigns programmes. During the year, PCRA launched a mega media campaign “SAvE FUEL YAANI SAvE MONEY” in Mumbai. The media campaign has received extensive appreciation and response from all sectors of the society expressing their interest in fuel conservation. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign, the mid and post campaign awareness survey were carried out. As per the survey report, the media campaign could lead to a saving in the range of 1.4% to 14.3% varying from region to region and from sector to sector.
PCRA, during the last 25 years, has conducted more than 13,000 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. To document and dissipate the field data on energy saving technology amongst the end users of energy, PCRA published a book “Practical Guide to Energy Conservation” which was released during 8th Petrotech Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition 2009 in New Delhi.
Like previous years, PCRA in association with Oil Industry observed Oil and Gas Conservation Fortnight (OGCF) during the period, 15th-31st January 2009. The State Level Coordinators of Oil Marketing Companies conducted sector specific mass awareness activities for conservation of Oil and Gas. During OGCF’09, PCRA organized various technical seminars, conferences, workshops and National / Regional Level Essay Competition for students of Class-X and above in Hindi, English and seven regional languages.
Human Resources play a crucial role in the success of any organization. The officers are periodically exposed to various management development and functional programmes according to the training needs identified for each individual. Presently, PCRA is having a team of 29 nos. of certified Energy Auditors and Energy Managers. The successful completion of various activities of PCRA bears a testimony to qualified, competent, dedicated and trained workforce of the organization.
The unstinted support and guidance provided by Chairman and Vice-Chairman of PCRA through Governing Body and Executive Committee Meetings have been the source of strength to achieve the desired objectives. I also gratefully acknowledge the help and support extended to PCRA by the senior executives of Oil Companies for providing valuable inputs as Members on various committees of PCRA. The untiring efforts and dedication of the PCRA officers in completing the assigned task deserves all the appreciation.
(Arun Kumar) Executive Director, PCRA

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER:
PCRA received 50% of licensing fee from M/s ATIRA, Ahmedabad for technology transfer of the project titled “Energy Cost Reduction through Convective Air Drying in Textile Sector” (CAPD system).
In textile wet processing, at various stages, drying requirements are frequent, which form a major constituent of thermal energy cost. Convective Air Pre-drying (CAPD) System was developed utilizing atmospheric convective air stream with relatively low energy cost to reduce the initial moisture retention (MR) of the wet fabric at the inlet of the conventional steam / thermic fluid heated drying system. The system reduces the drying load of the main dryer and thus results in reduction of the thermal energy in the conventional drying system.
Estimated cost of the system is about Rs. 50,000/- if manufactured commercially and the payback period is about 3 months.

2. Demonstration and performance evaluation of solar tunnel drying system for energy conservation at agro-industrial and farm level.
Natural solar drying is traditional practice for drying agriculture and agro-industrial products. This method is unsatisfactory for a number of reasons. The most important is that there is no control over the drying rate and quality of dried products. It can damage the Agro-industrial products by cracks and breakage and cause discoloration, loss of nutrients. Under-drying or slow drying results in deterioration of food due to fungi and bacteria. The dryer based on conventional energy are not cost effective and dependent on regular supply of fuel. Hence, it has been felt to develop a strategy for drying products on large scale through installation of efficient solar tunnel dryer in selected farms and industries.

PCRA Media Campaign on Fuel Efficiency and Petroleum Conservation titled "SAvE FUEL YAANI SAvE MONEY" was launched in Mumbai on 15th February, 09 in presence of Hon'ble Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas,
Shri Murli Deora.
1.1 Strategy:
While trying to change consumer behaviour, it is very important to understand the psychology of target audience. The mascot for the campaign “YAANI” was therefore designed to represent a piggy bank that depicts the scope of saving money as a result of savings of fuel. The slogan “SAvE FUEL YAANI SAvE MONEY” uses Hinglish to make it memorable. While the

overall message is to generate savings for the country and promote judicious use of resources, the campaign was designed in a manner that is user-friendly.
The idea was to get the point across, without sounding too preachy. Two strategies were applied to the campaign. The first part of the strategy was communicating personal benefit for the consumer. Secondly, whatever the change is, it needed to be simple and easy to understand. The target audience of PCRA is large and PCRA wanted to communicate the message of conservation to car owners, households, truck owners, farmers and business owners, who account for almost 90% of the petroleum fuel consumption in India
1.2 Campaign Creative:

During the year, emphasis was given on making PCRA English website more interactive and informative. This website has various utilities from which users can interact with PCRA and send their suggestions and feedback. It also gives option to approach online to PCRA for availing PCRA services. Through this website we have received very good response for PCRA book and “SAvE FUEL YAANI SAvE MONEY” campaign of PCRA. New sections like walk-through PCRA, cluster development, PCRA book “A Practical Guide to Energy Conservation” is added in the website.
Throughout the year, the maintenance and updation of English website and web server is done in-house efficiently, which saves money and results in faster implementation of changes. In-house maintenance and administration of LAN, Internet, Proxy server and Corporate E-mail identity was carried out to ensure faster and smoother communication system with added advantage of information and resource sharing. By performing these activities in-house, the outsourcing expenses are eliminated.
During the year, in-house job of CD Duplication was carried out in massive scale and more than 16,000 CDs of PCRA Book, ONGC training and PCRA Films were duplicated and distributed throughout the country. In-house CD Duplication saves about Rs 30/- per CD duplicated, resulting in reduction in expenditure of about Rs 4.8 lakh for the year. In-house designed the CD paper covers for CDs which reduced the cost of CD cases by more than 50 % and given the attractive look to the CDs.
