Dear Stakeholder You have been specially chosen to
receive IIR’s monthly
‘Energy News’ Letter. ‘Energy News’ will strike to provide you
with the latest thinking, disciplines and
technologies across a broad spectrum of energy issues. To ensure that we cater to your information needs on energy challenges affecting the
globe, we will specially select topical themes for each month’s
news letter. We would also appreciate your feedback and thought. We hope that
you will find this newsletter, not only informative
and engaging but also of
long-term benefit to your organisation’s decision-making. Energy is the life-blood of
the modern world. According to the Energy
Information Administration (EIA), the official energy statistics
organisation of the US Government “global
energy consumption is expected to grow by about 70% in the coming 25 years.
Much of this growth is driven by developing countries, whose inhabitants seek
a standard of living that closely resembles that of the western world.”

It has become evidently clear that energy conservation is a challenging task but of paramount importance for the long-term prosperity of industries and
all forms of life on Earth. Government
participation is critical in developing technology and creating cooperative
governance that could lead to the realisation of energy
efficiency, cleaner coal technology and greater profits for industry. In
