The Asian Regional Energy
Initiative of the IEI
Energy management – clean cooking fuel for homes:
A National energy
conference – “Energy Management in Changing Business Scenario”
is being organised in October 2005 by the Centre for Renewable
Energy and Environment Development (CREED), of the Birla
Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), in Pilani
(Rajasthan, India). It is aimed at deliberating on the
changing regimes in energy management, focusing on issues such
as energy conservation, energy substitution and technology
management. The expected delegates for the conference are
energy professionals, academicians, researchers and policy
makers. A presentation on “Clean cooking fuel options for
India” has been prepared. For the

Challenges to the
implementation of environmental policies have been
identified. In particular, conflicts arise when the need for
increasing the generation of electricity -- for household
energy services among largely un-served populations and for
productive purposes -- is juxtaposed with the impacts
resulting from increased generation. Based on our analyses,
we have elicited factors that would facilitate the
implementation of environmental policy. Among these are:
priorities in the national agenda, technical, financial and
institutional provisions, integrated planning, economic
pricing, timely monitoring, and regional/international
commitment. Effective use of these could enable countries to
proceed toward meeting the need for energy services, while
preserving the environment.
