For Developing Countries, Timing is Critical for Industrial Energy Efficiency
•
The most efficient aluminum smelters are in Africa and highly efficient cement kilns are in India1
•
But, inefficient, small-scale operations also continue to flourish (China, India, elsewhere)
•
Much more cost-effective to build in energy efficiency the first time than retrofit it later
•
But, when industry needs more production quickly, energy efficiency is
not a priority•
In industry, a missed opportunity for energy efficiency may not reoccur-
for decades or at all until the original installation fails or becomes obsolete2

Why is Industry So Inefficient?
•
The business of industry is not energy efficiency•
Facility engineers typically do not become CEO or CFOs•
Budgets are separate for equipment purchases and operating costs•
Except for large energy-intensive and/or high risk manufacturing processes, measurement of energy performance by many industrial systems is limited or non-existent
•
Data to allow facilities to benchmark performance against similar facilities is only available for a few sectors and closely held
•
No data = no way to assess performance or improvements•
You can’t manage what you can’t measure•
Both users and buyers tend to think ofindustrial systems as group of components, rather than as an integrated whole

Emerging6.
Manage GHG emissions, carbon footprint

Industry and Energy Efficiency
•
Time and again, industrial energy efficiency has been demonstrated to be cost effective while having a positive effect on productivity
•
Despite this, energy efficiency improvements with very favorable payback periods often do not get implemented
•
Even projects that are implemented may not be sustained due to lack of supportive operational and maintenance practices
•
Energy efficiency is still viewed during hard times as a luxury that industry can’t afford, rather than a strategic investment in future profitabilityProblem: Energy efficiency is not integrated
into daily management practicesSolution: Top management needs to be engaged in the
management of energy on an ongoing basis.5

Industry and Energy Management
•
Most energy efficiency in industry is achieved through changes in how energy is managed in an industrial facility, rather than through installation of new technologies;
•
Actively managing energy requires an organizational change in culture
•
Companies that establish an energy management plan gain a number of benefits:—Develop a baseline of energy use—Actively managing energy use and reduce costs—Reduce emissions without negative effect on operations —Continue to improve energy use/product output over time—Document savings for internal and external use (e.g. emission
credits)7

Energy Management Results
•
Companies who have used energy management to achieve major energy intensity improvements1
include:—Dow Chemical achieved 22% improvement ($4B
savings) between 1994 and 2005, and is now seeking another 25% from 2005 to 2015
—United Technologies Corp reduced global GHG emissions by 46% per dollar of revenue from 2001 to 2006, and is now seeking an additional 12% reduction from 2006 to 2010
—Toyota’s North American (NA) Energy Management Organization has reduced energy use per unit by 23% since 2002; company-wide energy-saving efforts have saved $9.2 million in NA since 1999.

Why an Energy Management Standard?
•
An energy management standard provides a method for integrating energy efficiency into existing industrial management systems for continual improvement;
•
All existing and planned energy management standards are compatible with ISO 9000/14000;1
•
Companies who adopt an energy management standard are able to reduce energy use and improve operations, even if they are already complying with ISO 14001.
•
Also applicable to commercial, institutional, and transportation
sectors
1 International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
9
Components of an EM Standard
Typical features include:1. An energy policy, top management’s official statement of
the organization’s commitment to managing energy2. An energy management plan that requires measurement,
management, and documentation for continuous improvement for energy efficiency;
3. A cross-divisional management team led by a representative who reports directly to management and is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the strategic plan;
4. Operating controls and procedures to address all aspects of energy purchase, use, and disposal;
5. Establishing a baseline of the organization’s energy use against which progress will be measured.
10
6. Identification of energy performance indicators, unique to the company, that are tracked to measure progress;
7. Energy objectives and targets for energy performance improvement at relevant functions, levels, processes or facilities within an organization;
8. Action plans to meet those targets and objectives;9. Creation of an Energy Manual, a living document that
evolves over time as additional energy saving projects and policies are undertaken and documented; and
10. Periodic reporting of progress to management based on these measurements

Potential impacts:•
Could influence up to 60% of the world’s energy use across many economic sectors
Uptake of ISO 50001 will be driven by companies seeking an internationally recognized response to:•
Corporate sustainability programs•
Demand created along the manufacturing supply chain•
National cap and trade programs; carbon or energy taxes; increasing market value of “green manufacturing”
/ reduced carbon footprint
•
International climate agreements
ISO 50001-Energy Management
ISO 50001 energy management standard will establish a framework for industrial plants, facilities, and organizations to manage energy.
Status of ISO 50001:•
Under development by ISO Project Committee 242; United States and Brazil lead effort with the United Kingdom and China
•
Draft International Standard by April 2010
•
Ready for publication by early 2011

System Optimization
•
Steam and motor-driven systems account for nearly 50% of final manufacturing energy use worldwide
•
These systems typically offer at least a 10-30% improvement opportunity using readily available technology because they are engineered for reliability without regard to energy efficiency
•
Both industrial markets and policy makers tend to focus on system components, which have a 2-5% improvement potential
•
Barriers to improvement are institutional, not technical•
Systems engineered for energy efficiency are actually more reliable, have lower operating costs, and can result in higher productivity
