Need guidance on water usage in Indian industry
Hello, I am writing to you on behalf of GIBSS, a net zero energy building systems company, that helps businesses reduce costs and raise productivity through compelling “triple bottom line” energy efficiency products and solutions in their buildings. I am looking forward to your guidance on two aspects. 1. Understand the use of water in Indian industry – the tariff, shadow price and source of water. 2. Understand the shadow price and availability and cost of tanker water at urban centers in India. I am giving a brief about geothermal cooling technology developed by GIBSS and the impact of the resource conservation potential (approx. 19 million litres of water saved for 234 TR of air conditioning) of this technology for your reference. Geothermal Cooling Technology: Carbon Foot print reduction per lakh rupee investment - 19.71 tonnes of CO2 Project Capacity - 234 TR Energy Efficiency - 1,80,718 KWH pa Energy Substitution: Resource Conservation - 19 million litres of water Carbon Footprint reduction of project - 12,332 tonnes of CO2 Application Potential - Comfort Cooling, Process Cooling, Refrigeration Segments - Commercial and industrial buildings Sub Segments - Cold Storage, pharmaceuticals, residential, textiles, Regards, Arun Thomas (Question received over email)
