Energy Conservation for Tea Production

India: Energy Conservation for Tea Production

The Ministry of Environment and Forests together with the UNDP Global Environment Facility (GEF) is implementing a project to reduce the energy consumption in producing tea. Tea processing is energy intensive, with 30% of total processing costs being spent on energy, typically burning firewood. The project is intended to reduce CO2 emissions by increasing awareness of energy efficiency and renewable technology, eliminating financial barriers inhibiting investment, and facilitating the adoption of renewable technology, best practice, and knowledge sharing.

 

Date Implemented: 2007

Status: In progress

Funding Information: UNDP GEF funding
