Project Objective

To reduce energy consumption from tea processing units in South India, thereby restricting Greenhouse Gases emissions

To remove barriers to energy conservation and energy efficiency that inhibit the realization of large energy saving potential in the tea sector

Page 8: Solution Forum 5- Energy conservation in south indian tea industry undp

The project outcomes

Awareness creation among the target sector about energy efficiency/ renewable energy technologies and their relation to profitability

Elimination of financial barriers that inhibit investment in energy conservation equipment

Adoption and procurement of energy efficiency/ renewable energy equipment/ practice

Learning, knowledge sharing and replication

CHALLENGES

To get the buy in from the tea factories

The need to combine committed project deliverables with constantly evolving need and dynamic risk perception.

Difficult to attract quality human resource as project was implemented from a small town (Coonoor).

Technical documentation was often challenging as most technically competent people did not have matching writing or communication skills.

Page 24: Solution Forum 5- Energy conservation in south indian tea industry undp

LEARNING

Technology a barrier and not access to finance as was understood at the time of project conceptualization.

Understood that energy use reform can be initiated through awareness and technical support without any financial incentives

The tea sector is extremely demanding and would reject any recommendation that is not backed by adequate data and information..

All risk is dynamic and constantly changing. Decisions on energy use reform are complex and they are not driven by techno economics, equipment specifications or CO2 reduction potential alone.

The project has developed some insights into how to gauge the need and the risk perception and constantly modify its intervention strategies.
