Intl Energy Efficiency Day today
UNB
The International Energy Efficiency Day will be observed in the country today as elsewhere in the globe, aiming to create awareness among people about the efficient and economic use of energy and power, reports UNB.
Different countries in the world have been observing the day since 1998. The initiative to globally observe the day every year was undertaken following a decision in the first international meeting on energy efficiency in Austria. The main aim of observing the day is to make people aware about the importance of reducing energy consumption through its reasonable and sustainable use.
Hydrocarbon Unit (HU) under the Energy Division of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources will organize a daylong seminar at Radisson Hotel in the city marking the day.
State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid will inaugurate the seminar while local and foreign energy experts will speak on the occasion.
