Present Situation at Industrial Plants
ØMany plants have large untapped potential for energy/cost saving
ØPandemic has led to low factory utilization but energy costs stay often as they are (flat rate), transformation to consumption based at much lower costs is risk remedy measure
ØRaising energy costs, higher environmental standards (emissions), energy cuts/gas-electricity amplifiyng the burden on enterprise
ØEU HQ require to certify and continuously reduce CO2 emissions for their products, suppliers of manufacturers are also included)
ØGovernment will introduce Carbon Tax 2021 (delayed from 2020)
ØEU Green Deal: planned CO2 emission certification for future imports
Ø… but nowadays often only “equipment solutions” (compressor heat recovery) are offered, never tapping into the entire potential of the enterprise
Why nowadays in many plants energy is being wasted?
ØLow energy costs
ØThere’s no restriction on emissions in the past
ØLow awareness of environmental protection
ØInvestment planning for low cost not taking TCO into account
ØNo transparency of detailed energy consumption pattern
How can an Energy Management System (EnMS) help avoiding energy waste?
“Transparency of energy consumption pattern; uncover the energy saving potential and management can create accountability”
What is the impact of an EnMS to your company?
ØIt allows scientific management of energy consumption.
ØTransform company culture to energy saving
ØIt allows future investment planning into energy efficiency planning
ØFinally, improvement of profitability
