Energy consumption is on the rise all over the world. Owing to the rise in population and increasing Human Development Index (HDI), this trend is expected to carry on, resulting in increased global warming and fast depletion of fossil fuels. Hence, it is essential to reduce energy consumption, for which, energy conservation is needed. Energy audit is one of the process by which we can implement energy conservation. For this project, we are conducting an Energy Audit on "Prasol Chemicals", a chemical supplier industry at Khopoli. Our aim with this project can be divided into two segments, first is to reduce maximum load demand without affecting the production capacity of industry and second is to reduce losses occurring while transmission and consumption. We would recommend some changes in equipment, increasing maintenance and suggest some alternative energy sources, which would result in decreasing the yearly budget for the industry, increasing their profits, as well as decreasing the overall carbon footprint of the world.
