Energy efficiency in industrial process

Improving energy efficiency in industry is one of the primary features of the EC’s Green Deal for Europe, which was unveiled in 2019 and plays a critical role in reaching the goals of carbon neutrality in terms of climate and the circular economy. Increasing energy efficiency in industry will provide additional value to businesses by positively impacting economic development and job creation, and the energy savings generated will save financial resources that can be redirected to additional investments to support their competitiveness.

The project deals with increasing energy efficiency in industrial processes by improving and optimizing the technologies and production processes used in the enterprise as a prerequisite for sustainable reduction of energy consumption and increasing competitiveness. This project helping an industrial company with purchasing systems and items which will increase the energy savings of the company. The implementation of the project will achieve the reduction of 149.39 t CO2/year in CO2 emissions, saving 55.60 MWh of energy per year, and saving of 19418.60 Euro/year.
