The power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines.

ENERGY

Renewable Energy

ENERGY IS BROADLY CLASSIFIED INTO TWO MAIN GROUPS

Non-renewable Energy

Renewable energy is the energy which is generated from natural sources.

Types of renewable energy:Sun Wind RainTides

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Non-Renewable energy is the energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity and will vanish fifty-sixty years from now.

Types of Non- Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels are derived

from organic matter. Some types of fossil fuels are Crude Oil/ Petroleum, Gas and Coal.

Nuclear fuels: The other form of non-renewable resource used to produce energy, nuclear fuels, is primarily obtained through the mining and refining of uranium ore.

NON- RENEWABLE ENERGY

Energy conservation is the reduction in the amount of energy consumed in a process or system, or by an organization or society, through rational use and reduction of waste.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

Our Demand for energy has been increasing day by day. We have limited resources and if the demand keep increasing at this rate, we will run out of non renewable energy and we will have to find alternate resources.

SIGNIFICANCE OF ENERGY CONSERVATION

Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology is extremely energy efficient and is replacing fluorescent technologies which is helping in energy conservation.

Hybrid technologies involve low-watt and higher-wattage lamps with controls such as an occupancy sensor or timer. The approach is being developed and field-tested for an array of applications, including Lighting for cubicles ,For restrooms, Parking lots

Lighting control are virtually self commissioning and

simpler form from user perspective.

In large factories high intensity fluorescent lighting are more energy efficient and feature better diming options, and virtually instant startup.

MAJOR TECHNIQUES USED GLOBALLY FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION

Pakistan State Oil adopted immediate measures to help control the alarming energy crisis that mires the majority of the Pakistani population. PSO is well aware of the need to implement energy conservation measures in its offices and installations across the country.

PSO TAKES THE LEAD IN ENERGY

CONSERVATION:

Switching off non-essential overhead lighting in day-lit areas and lighting in unoccupied rooms (e.g. equipment and storage areas)

Switching off monitors, printers and other excess electrical equipment after work hours and break timing.

Checking and cleaning of air conditioner filters and chillers on a scheduled basis.

Using sunlight and less of artificial lighting. Using translucent ceiling in retail outlets.

Using LED lights in PSO stations. Producing E10 fuel to reduce emission.

KEY INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED BY PSO

PSO has been at the forefront of numerous environmentally and socially-conscious projects:

EARTH HOUR

BIONASS

PSO PROJECTS REGARDING ENERGY CONSERVATION

Earth Hour is the world’s largest global climate change initiative. It’s a global commitment led by World Wide Fund (WWF).

Pakistan State Oil joined the Earth Hour awareness on 26th March 2011 to spread awareness on climate change and inculcate responsible behavior amongst its employees. PSO employees also celebrated Earth Hour in their individual capacity by switching off lights at their homes at 8.30 PM.

PSO JOINS WORLD CELEBRATION OF EARTH HOUR

It is the technology transfer and information sharing agreement signed with BIONASS Malaysia for the development of bio fuels in Pakistan

PSO BIONASS AGREEMENT

Double-side printing: Saving paper saves energy because it takes 10 times more energy to manufacture a piece of paper than it does to put an image on it.

Energy Star models: When purchasing PCs, monitors, printers, fax machines and copiers, look for Energy Star models.

If appropriate, use ink-jet printers - they consume 95% less energy than laser printers. Similarly, laptops use 90% less energy than desktop computers.

SIMPLE METHODS BY WHICH ENERGY COULD BE CONSERVED

Have your car tuned regularly.

Keep your tires properly inflated.

Avoid lengthy engine idling. When you buy a car, choose

one that gets good mileage. Pace your driving.

OTHER METHODS PREFERABLE TO SAVE ENERGY ON ROAD

Training and awareness sessions should be organized for employees on energy conservation.

Turn off all personal office appliances including fans, radios and desk lamps

Enable power management features on laser printers and/or turn laser printers when not actively printing.

ENERGY CONSERVATION TIPS

Screen savers do not save energy. Enable power management features so your computer monitor and hard drive will go into low power (blank screen) “sleep mode” when not actively in use.

When purchasing any office equipment, be sure to consider. Energy star models “power down” after a specified period of activity.

Use day lighting from windows or skylights, instead of electrical lighting whenever possible

Replace incandescent lights or light emitting diodes (LEDs) for desk lamps and overhead lighting.

ENERGY CONSERVATION TIPS

Replace desktop PCs with laptops. Save paper. Photocopy only what you need. Have a qualified professional perform an

energy audit. Check with your company for names of auditors.

There should be facilities managements service systems that can respond immediately to facilities and environmental problems.
