Economic and environmental aspects of energy use continue to hold
the attention of the industry as well as policy makers. Relative
energy prices are often used as a policy tool to influence energy
demand, inter-fuel substitution and energy efficiency, thus also
addressing climate change. This book presents an analysis of the
inter-fuel substitution in industrial sectors in India using
Translog cost functions. Energy use behaviour across industrial
sectors can be inferred from the estimated price and substitution
elasticities. This work is perhaps the first attempt to use a
unique disaggregated energy consumption data for over 1350
firms/plants across 14 industrial sectors. The analysis precedes a
review of literature and theoretical models. We estimate separate
models for the basket of energy purchased and that finally used in
the production process. The estimated price and substitution
elasticities are used to assess the impact of a change in energy
prices on energy demand and carbon emissions in 14 Indian
industries. An analysis of energy efficiency in the Indian cement
industry highlights the role of energy prices, choice of technology
and scale economies.
