Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy generated at one time for use at another time using compressed air. At utility scale, energy generated during periods of low energy demand (off-peak) can be released to meet higher demand (peak load) periods.
Case study on energy efficiency: UNIDO in cooperation with the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MEER) worked together with INDIMA, an Ecuadorian
company, to implement an Energy Management System (EnMS) in line with the international standard ISO 50001.
Northwestern researchers have developed the ability to store large-scale electrical energy for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Established energy storage technologies such as hydroelectric water pumping and underground compressed air storage are limited to specific geographic sites and most batteries and ultracapacitors have limited energy storage capacities and times.
Glass sector is a major energy consuming sector. Gujarat ( India) is a hub of large scale Glass industries. Cleaner Production assessment was carried out in selected Glass industries of Gujarat with technical study of process, we streams etc. After study, Energy conservation, water conversation, solid waste and liquid waste reduction options were successfully implemented.
Background: Carbon capture is a promising approach for the removal of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in an attempt to prevent and reverse climate change. Current approaches toward capturing carbon are focused on the point of production specifically industrial and energy settings. However these methods consume high levels of energy while ignoring the other major sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This technology utilizes a granular sorbent material for binding atmospheric carbon dioxide.
