Energy efficiency policies in
China and India
(NAPCC) based on Clean Coal (Carbon) Technologies (Office of Principal Scientific Advisor, GoI
undated). Initiatives to develop next generation coal-fired power plants using advanced super-
critical boilers and integrated gasification combined cycle technologies would be part of the
mission.
India has also been doing research on Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC). This
technology has higher efficiencies and lower emissions over the conventional pulverized
coal technology (especially suitable when used with fluidized bed gasifier for Indian coal).
While India has taken initial steps in setting up demonstration IGCC plants, such as the joint
venture between Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL) with Andhra Pradesh Power Generation
Company and NTPC Ltd. in two separate projects; currently, there appears to be a lack of any
progress on ground.
Box 2: Energy efficiency in power: A snapshot
Policies/ Programmes under implementation
• Use of high end technology solutions for efficiency enhancement of power plants
including renovation & modernization and life extension.
• Development of Ultra Mega Power Plants (UMPPs) using super-critical technology
for power generation using coal as primary source
• Thrust on coal beneficiation as a step to improve power plant efficiency
• Development of indigenous capacity/capability for manufacturing of supercritical
boilers and turbine generators
• Development of coal-bed methane as alternative energy source for coal based
power plants
Policies/ Programme under consideration
• New mission under NAPCC based on Clean Coal (Carbon) Technologies
• Further research, demonstration and adoption of IGCC power plants
7.2 Industry
The contribution of the manufacturing sector to the GDP of India has stagnated at
approximately 16%. Manufacturing has to be made the engine of growth for the nation to
provide employment for job seekers in India. The National Manufacturing Policy, 2011, aims
to enhance the share of the manufacturing sector in GDP to 25% by 2025. It also aims to
make growth in the manufacturing sector sustainable, particularly ensuring environmental
sustainability through green technologies, energy efficiency, and optimal utilization of natural
resources and restoration of damaged/degraded eco-systems.
