  abstract = {<p>India{\textquoteright}s cement industry accounted for over six percent of the world{\textquoteright}s annual cement production and its iron and steel industry accounted for nearly five percent of the world{\textquoteright}s annual steel production in 2010. We analyzed 22 and 25 energy efficiency measures applicable to India{\textquoteright}s cement and iron and steel industries. A forward looking bottom-up Conservation Supply Curve (CSC) model utilizes forecasted Indian cement and iron and steel demand, current adoption estimates for energy efficiency measures, and a stock roll-over methodology for each industry. From 2010 to 2030 cumulative cost-effective electricity savings are 83\&nbsp;TWh, with an associated 82\&nbsp;Mt CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reduction; and cumulative cost-effective fuel savings are 1029\&nbsp;PJ, with associated CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction of 97\&nbsp;Mt CO<sub>2</sub> for India{\textquoteright}s cement industry. In India steel sector, cumulative cost-effective electricity savings are 66\&nbsp;TWh, with an associated 65\&nbsp;Mt CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reduction; and cumulative cost-effective fuel savings are 768\&nbsp;PJ, with associated CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction of 67\&nbsp;Mt CO<sub>2.</sub> The estimates from this study give a comprehensive perspective to the Indian cement and iron and steel industries and policy makers about the energy efficiency potential and its associated costs over the next twenty years.</p>},
