Energy Efficiency Services

I moderated a webinar on energy efficiency for the IPFA as part of their energy transition series. This may be the last in the series but believe me, this is the most important element of the energy transition. I tend towards a fundamental position.

Findings for Germany will be published at European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (eceee)s Industry conference, global outcomes towards the turn of years. The questionnaire is accessible to manufacturing companies across 12 dedicated country versions and five further universal language versions.

The Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group (EEFIG) has over 15,000 projects. They provide a good indication of the risk factors involved in energy efficiency. The website has been updated to show Internal Rate of Return (IRR)/ Net Present Value.

The SO WHAT project aims to identify the core data needed for an industrial energy audit. The main barriers to data collection identified are hereby presented and briefly discussed. This article focuses on the barriers typically encountered in the data collection phase of an industrial audit.

Electricity is versatile in terms of its potential uses, but some industrial processes will be difficult to decarbonise. Cement, steel and plastics manufacturing, in particular, pose major challenges. Emissions from cement manufacture could be reduced by as much as.

Switzerlands Federal Council has decided that the country should become carbon-neutral by 2050. This may be challenging as far as car traffic and the entire power sector are concerned. A switch of this kind will be more difficult for the chemical industry.

Some people call the geographic information system (GIS) a digital twin of the grid. GIS captures grid assets and their locations. It includes their attributes and some behavior. The problem for many utilities is that GIS has many brothers and sisters that.

Researchers developed the most detailed model to date of global data center energy use. The model provides a more nuanced view of data Center energy use and its drivers. More efforts are needed to better monitor energy use moving forward, lead author says.

Data has transformed how utilities operate, by expanding the volume and resolution of energy use data. The acceleration of electrification and decarbonization will make managing data as a strategic asset increasingly necessary. Data driven decision making creates operational efficiencies and drives cost reductions.
