Also Clarion Energy has now launched a program to save the huge costs spent on energy audits too: a flexible and an affordable ‘model’ where consultancy costs would be zero. The benefits of adopting these solutions are; Company increases its profits and derives respect from the international market as a Green company. Further, Greening Process makes your products more attractive to foreign buyers who are becoming more demanding in environmental friendly production methods. Also the share value of the company will improve”.

We have organized this workshop to create awareness amongst industry & business of such innovations in energy conservation technology.
