Energy Perspective in Plantation Industry
ISBN 81-7296-013-1
416 pages
Paperback edition

Plantation industry is highly energy intensive. Existing technologies for post-harvest processing of plantation crops have posed problems of greater losses of energy due to poor efficiency in its conversion and utilisation. In this volume, scientists and professionals from the plantation industry present insights on bringing about higher energy efficiency by focussing on recent advances in applications for conservation of traditional energy sources as well as their substitution by ‘green technology’ viz., solar wind and biomass.

“The papers presented at the International Workshop not only helped to review the current situation in renewable energy development but also led to the formulation of specific suggestions for action by those in charge of development of technologies and public policies” … Prof M S Swaminathan
