The water samples from the monitoring water wells in the vicinity of the disposal wells are regularly monitored. • Oil-water separators are effectively used in all installations handling crude oil so that the discharged water is within the recommended standards. Utmost care is taken by each installation for regular testing of discharged water. Minimizing noise Generator sets, compressors and rig engines are the main sources of noise at OIL, but the environmental impact remains insignificant due to acoustic enclosures and noise barriers erected around worksites and OIL’s installations. Noise levels are also monitored continuously at these locations.

28 Environmental and Sustainability Initiatives by Dedicated Agencies In the financial year 2014-15 alone, PCRA have been Petroleum Conservation Research able to identify energy savings potential of 1.14 million Association (PCRA) metric tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) through 322 Fuel conservation and energy efficiency provide the energy audits. We may roughly take 60% of these as best option for cutting down the nation’s energy realised, that is, about 0.69 million metric tonnes of oil demand and help in environment protection by equivalent. reducing CO2 emissions. PCRA has enlarged its role Each kilogram of oil saved results in the reduction of in improving use of various sources of energy for the 2.5 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, translating into purpose of achieving environment protection and a reduction of approx. 1.72 million metric tonnes sustainable development. of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Similarly, PCRA has developed various activities aimed at implementation of Energy Management System promoting conservation of oil & gas and other forms (EnMS-ISO-50001:2011) in individual organisations of energy in different sectors of the economy, which results in gradual improvement in their energy contribute in reducing GHG Emissions. These activities performance usually of the order of 5% of their are briefly listed below: consumption level for the year. (A) Field Activities Transport Sector Industrial Sector Transport sector accounts for almost half of the country’s annual petroleum consumption. PCRA has taken a lead role in Driver Training Programmes (DTP) to improve fuel efficiency of vehicles. Studies indicate a savings potential of around 20% in the transport sector. To realiae this, PCRA conducts a variety of driver training programmes for State Transport Undertakings (STUs), private fleet operators, and organisations in private and public sector, to promote efficient use of petrol, diesel and through better maintenance practices, model depot studies, emission awareness programmes, exhibitions, workshops, etc. all over the country. In the FY 14-15, PCRA had conducted 1,464 activities under transport sector. Driver Training Programme: India has a large pool of heavy-duty vehicles drivers (approx. 50 lakhs), which includes heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles and buses. A study has revealed that each

The industry sector accounts for almost 40% of the total primary energy consumption in India. PCRA’s activities in this sector focus on fuel efficiency improvement through energy audits, fuel oil diagnostic studies, service to small-scale industries, follow-up studies, institutional training programmes, etc.

29 PCRA-trained driver on an average saves 2,631 litres to inculcate the habit of saving energy among them of diesel per year. PCRA’s own study conducted on at an early age by approaching schools,colleges and each and every driver who has gone through its 3-day technical institutions. These constitute quiz, essay, drivers training programme has saved 10 to 30% diesel. debate and painting competitions on topics related to fuel conservation. Participants are encouraged through awards in both cash and kind. PCRA aims to make young minds understand the issue of energy conservation and motivate them to apply and promote the cause of oil conservation in their domestic and professional lives. Pursuing this mission, PCRA has initiated efforts for inclusion of topics on fuel efficiency in school books of NCERT.

Till March 2015, PCRA has trained 2.41 lakh heavy vehicle drivers, contributing to huge savings in HSD and emissions. The total savings will be to the tune of 63,400 kl of oil equivalent, which translates into reduction of approx. 0.139 million metric tonnes of carbondioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Agriculture Sector PCRA recognises the potential and scope for conservation of petroleum products and electricity in this sector. To create awareness amongst the farmer community, PCRA conducts activities like van publicity, kisan mela and educational programs for students of agricultural colleges. During these events, clippings and films produced by PCRA on fuel saving tips are shown. In the agriculture sector in FY 14-15 PCRA conduced Agricultural Workshops 718 and Kisan Melas 64 in numbers covering large no of farmers. Total saving will be 3560 kl of oil equivalent, which translates into reduction of 7832 metric tonnes of carbondioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

The objective of this program is to achieve fuel savings at consumer end, by using fuel efficient appliances having Star Ratings from 1-Star to 5-Star. This can result in increasing efficiency from 67% to 72%. (E) Networking As part of the Government of India’s initiative for cooperation with Japan in the field of Oil & Gas, PCRA executed an MOU with “The Energy Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ)” on 28th June, 2006. The MoU opens up collaboration between PCRA and ECCJ on a wide range of issues leading to improvement in energy efficiency in different sectors. PCRA and ECCJ have jointly completed activities in Transport and Industry Sectors. (F) Mass Awareness Campaigns PCRA regularly organises mass awareness campaigns through various print and electronic media to sensitise the general public towards energy conservation. In Oil and Gas Conservation Fortnight order to bring about attitudinal changes, sustained campaigns are also organised for targeted end It is a nationwide programme organised during users. Customised energy conservation messages January 16-31 every year to sensitise people about are displayed in these campaigns according to their conservation and efficient use of petroleum products. preferences. PCRA also uses Internet, digital cinema theatres and SMS facilities to reach out to more and more people. Besides, PCRA organises intersection activities at traffic signals, walkathons and nukkad natak to disseminate energy conservation messages. Estimated savings in fuel due to mass awareness campaign as assessed by an impact assessment study for the year 2013-14 is 5,67,375 metric tonnes of petrol, 18,73,083 metric tonnes of diesel, 9,48,383 metric tonnes of LPG, which will translate to a reduction of approx. 9.10 million metric tons of carbondioxide emissions into the atmosphere. During the year 2014-15, PCRA undertook various innovative people connect activities to reach outto the target groups. Major activities were • Creation of Social Media Networking: PCRA accounts have been created on Twitter and Facebook.
