Trio of New Internet Resources from Alliance to Save Energy
Offers Industry Energy Cost Relief, Enhanced Bottom Line
Washington, DC, October 8, 2004 - A trio of new web-based information
resources developed by the Alliance to Save Energy can help
manufacturers keep their energy costs in check and their profits up
by managing their energy use wisely. The new tools are an industrial
energy efficiency clearinghouse, corporate energy management case
studies, and a steam case study database.
"Savvy manufacturers know that curbing energy costs takes more than
just fuel-price shopping - it also takes smart energy use
management," said Christopher Russell, the Alliance's director of
industrial programs. "They know that good energy management can often
reduce fuel expenses by 10 to 20 percent, while boosting plant
reliability and capacity. Add to that savings on raw materials and
the reduced expense of idle resources. Companies find that efficiency
measures also provide control over thermal resources. Control
provides reliability, so orders can be filled faster. This means they
can take on more orders - and make more money. The bottom line is
that managing energy consumption is an indispensable part of any
strategy for dealing with volatile fuel prices."
The average annual energy savings for the over 75 projects undertaken
by DuPont, for instance, is $275,000. Kimberly Clark has reduced
energy consumption by 11.7 percent per ton of product. And
Frito-Lay's fuel, power, and water management activities yield a
combined 30 percent return on investment.
The new Alliance resources include:
* The Industrial Energy Efficiency Clearinghouse
(www.ase.org/section/topic/industry/clearinghouse) introduces
technologies, management strategies, training opportunities, and
financing options. The Checklist for Getting Management Approval
helps staff advocate energy efficiency to skeptical top managers.
* Corporate Energy Management Case Studies
(www.ase.org/section/topic/industry/corporate) presents a variety of
real-life cases on the organizational and managerial aspects of
implementing company-wide energy strategies. Users can review the
hurdles to and rewards of daily energy management.
* The Steam Case Study Database (www.steamingahead.org/casestudies)
allows visitors to browse more than 120 steam system improvement case
studies by type of industry or improvement or by location to learn
anticipated costs, savings, and payback for selected improvements.
Steam systems consume more than half of the fossil fuel used by
industry.
