7. Today’s ENERGY needs are mostly met by Coal, Oil & Gas SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

8. FEW FACTS1.India has one percent of the world’s energy resources, but is home for 16 % of world’s population.2. India’s oil production is about 30% of its consumption.3. Crude oil imports doubled in 4 years by volume and 400 times by value.4. LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF FOSSIL FUELS (lasting for the next 40 years or so).5.

13. CONSERVATION • In short, CONSERVATION means using optimum energy for carrying out a specific work without affecting the quality of work. • ENERGY CONSERVATION is an objective to which every citizen can contribute whether it is a household, factory, agriculture, transport or a shop. • Since the energy consumption per capita in our country is very low, only small efforts by many will make a real impact, rather than big efforts by a few. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

14. How to Achieve this Objective Conservationis an inborn Instinct. This Instinct has to awakened and honed to be implemented in day to day use, until it becomes aHABIT SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

15. CONSERVATION CAN BE ACHIEVED IN MANY WAYSBY IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCYUSING RENEWABLE ENERGYAND FOLLOWINGREUSE, REDUCE & RECYCLE SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

18. ENERGY CONSERVATION TIPSfor the KITCHEN

19. CONSERVATIONIN THE KITCHEN SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

20. THE FIRST STEP FOR CONSERVATION OF LPG IS TO 1. Note down the date of installation/use of the cylinder.2. Note down the date of completion of cylinder. 3. Calculate the number of days of use.4. Do this exercise for a year to arrive at the average consumption period for a cylinder. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

21. COOKING • Most houses in the urban areas use LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) for cooking. It is estimated that there is scope for up to 30% reduction in consumption by adopting a few simple habits. • Energy Savings by using LPG can be • achieved from • - Cooking Process - Maintenance • Cooking Aids - General • GAS IS PRECIOUS SAVE IT SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

22. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • Organised Cooking. Save up to 20% • Pressure Cooking. Save 20-40% SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

23. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • USE OPTIMUM WATER QUANTITY, TOIMPROVE TASTE & SAVE FUEL. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

24. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • Use Small Burner • Use Lower Flame. • Savings to 6-10 SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

25. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN SOAKING GRAINS BEFORE COOKING REDUCES FUEL SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

26. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • COVERING WITH LID SAVES FUEL SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

27. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • BRING REFRIGERATED FOOD TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING IT FOR HEATING OR COOKING.. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

28. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN USE CLEAN VESSELS DIRT IS AN OBSTRUCTIONTO HEAT FLOW SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

29. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • Use always vessels that are better conductors of heat • Copper is the best conductor of heat and 10 times faster than stainless steel and twice that of aluminium. • Containers can change the flavor of the food cooked SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

30. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • The Stove burners should be cleaned regularly. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

31. Conservation TIPS - KITCHEN • Eating togetherSAVES FUEL. • Eating Salads/ Raw Vegetables SAVES FUEL. • Eating SPROUTED FOOD SAVES FUEL & gives more NUTRITION SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

32. COOKING PROCESS 1. Organized Cooking. Save up to 20% 2. Pressure Cooking. Save 20-40% 3. Optimum Water Quantity. Improves taste 4. Using Small Burner/Low Flame. Saves 6-10% 5. Soaking Grains. 6. Covering with Lid. 7. Bring Refrigerated Food to Ambient Temperature. 8. Ensure vessels are dry from outside before using. 8. Reduce flame when boiling starts. Saves up to 30% SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

33. COOKING AIDS • Auto Ignition Regulator Knobs for stoves. • Have Stoves with variable burner sizes. • Shallow & Wide Vessels • Stainless steel with Copper Bottom or Aluminum. • MAINTENANCE • USE Clean Vessels • The Stove burners should be cleaned regularly. • GENERAL • Eating Together • Eating Raw Vegetables/Fruits SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

37. LIGHTING • Lights and fans consume major part of the energy used in our houses. Increasing lighting efficiency proper ventilation is one of the fastest ways to reduce power bills. • Use maximum Natural Light & Ventilation. • Use CFL’s or T5 Fluorescent Tube Lights (energy efficient) SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

38. APPLIANCES1. REFRIGERATOR2. MICROWAVE OVEN SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

39. REFRIGERATOR 1. Consumes about 2 kwh every day. Take extra care to generate energy savings. 2. Place 6 to 12” from the wall. 3. Place it in a cool area. 4. Clean coils from dust. 5. Open door to the minimum 6. Do not open the door frequently. Saves Cooling 7. Defrost as soon as 1 cm thick ice is formed. 8. Place items when they attain ambient temperature. 9. Cover all containers. 10. Use Energy efficient & auto defrost models. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

40. MICROWAVE OVEN • Always use the Oven to its full capacity. Plan accordingly. • Load & unload the Oven as quickly as possible to avoid heat loss. • A microwave is an energy efficient appliance as it requires less time to cook/reheat. • Always switch of the Microwave from the mains after use. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY

41. PHANTOM LOAD • ANY HOUSEHOLD APPLIANACE THAT HAS A CLOCK, TIMER, MEMORY OR REMOTE IS CONSUMING ELECTRICITY, EVEN IF ITS TURNED OFF LIKE THE MICROWAVE OVEN • REMEMBER TO SWITCH OFF SUCH APPLIANCES FROM THE MAIN SWITCH. • EVEN SLEEP MODE CONSUMES ABOUT 7% ENERGY. SAVE ENERGY CONSERVE ENERGY
