Manufacturing
Food and Beverage Manufacturing
Tight profit margins and rising energy prices create a strong case for energy efficiency in the food and beverage sector.
Chemicals and Plastics Manufacturing
The potential to improve energy efficiency has been shown to be significant in chemical and plastic industrial plants by both theoretical studies and practical experience.
Pulp and Paper Manufacturing
Energy constitutes as much as 15% of total operating costs in the pulp and paper sector, so energy efficiency reductions can make a difference to the bottom line.
Transport
Road Transport
Fuel is typically the highest operating cost for road transport operators. Small improvements in fuel efficiency can have a significant impact on competitiveness.
Air Transport
The air transport industry has been focused on fuel efficiency improvements for decades, as fuel use can constitute between 20–35% of operating costs.
Rail Freight Transport
Small improvements in fuel efficiency can have a big impact on profit and competitiveness in the rail freight transport sector.
Other Sectors
Commercial and Services
Investing in the overall energy efficiency of commercial buildings improves asset value by costing less to operate and maintain.
Mining
Mining
Energy currently constitutes up to 15% of total mining and mineral processing input costs.
