Energy Conservation is the means for the sruvival of the human race in the 21 st Century. Kerala Celebrte the Energy Conservation Day falling on December 14 of every year. The Energy Management Centre received National Energy Conservation Award in 2008. We must conserve our resources and make energy conservation a mission. Energy Management Centre is the only designated Agency which is fally devoted to the improvement of Energy efficiency in the state, promotion of energy conservation and encouraging development of technology related to energy through research and training.
Scientist and Experts predicted that oil and gas would last for only about another 60 years. Uses of fossil fuel had an adverse impact on the enviornment too. Biomass energy at present contributed to only 14 percent of the world's energy supply, In India its use was very negligible. India being a tropical country had tremendos scope for energy generation through biomass and its residues. Biomass energy could be used for power generation and thermal heating. The ash collected afterwards could be used as manure for agriculture. Biomass energy was also highly sustainable.
The use of biomass significantly reduced the need to import oil and other fossil fuels and the same time it increased the security of energy supplly. Reducationn in usage of diesel and furnace oil by adopting biomass- based heater resulted in accruing clean environment mechanism benefits. A target consisting of 500 mw of biomass power had been proposed during the eleventh plan period. Some industries in the country had already started using biomass energey.The southern states of Andrapradesh, TamilNadu and Karnataka had also commissioned biomass power generation projects. But Kerala had not been able to start such a project. It was high time Kerala too think about the biomass energy projects during this years energy Conservation day.
Conservation of energy should be corordinated effort of the entire country. The government should take initiative to balance the developmental activities and mConservation of energy sources. The state was not in a posstion to afford huge hydel projects. We should go for small power projects. We have think about decentralising the energy sources. Each panchayat shoulld be self- suffient in energy. We ignore the possibility of small and alternative energy sources. Government should encourage individuals and agencies working for promotong alternative energy souurces loke biomass energy,
