Abstract
World’s economic activities are generating tremendous strain on natural resources in terms of higher energy demand. Increased energy demand is being met by sacrificing our green planet, through higher generation of pollutants and Green House Gases. This paper focus on abatement of energy demand through Energy Efficiency and role of IT in enabling energy efficiency. This paper is co-authored by HCL and Frost & Sullivan consultants and demonstrates an unique example of industry level collaboration for green environment.

Excerpts from the Paper
As per the latest EIA (Energy Information Administration) report, (International Energy Outlook, 2009, Published in May 2009) world marketed energy consumption is projected to grow by 44.0 percent over the period from 2006 to 2030. The total world energy use is expected to rise from 472 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2006 to 552 quadrillion Btu in 2015 and then to 678 quadrillion Btu in 2030
