Solar Industrial Process Heat
India uses 100 million tons of oil annually
40% of this oil consumption is in industry 60-70% of industrial energy use is in thermal form 70% of industrial thermal energy use is in the range below 250 deg C
15 to 20% of total energy use i.e. 15 million tons of oil is used in industry below 250 deg C
30% of this requirement can be met through Solar Thermal Concentrators, leading to savings of about 4.5 millions tons of furnace oil or LDO or Diesel per year
