Headlines

• At one site energy savings opportunities amount
  to 29 of annual energy use. The savings
  are biased toward steam system improvements and
  energy management measures.
• Discussions on another site have identified that
  the company could gain approximately 130,000 per
  year in reduced levy charges if they sign a
  climate change agreement.
• A company who expect to apply for an IPPC licence
  during 2005 will use the energy saving
  opportunities identified in the audit as part of
  an action plan for waste reduction.

16
Headlines

• One site with already good energy management
  systems in place could see further savings of
  around 23k from improvement - or 725 tonnes CO2.
• That site has already achieved reductions in
  energy consumption of around a third prior to
  this project.
• Simple process control improvements on one site
  could lead to annual savings of around 9k or
  120 tonnes CO2.

17
Headlines

• Steam leaks on one
• site amount to some
• 7 of delivered
• steam.
• Repairs could lead
• to CO2 savings of
• 700 tonnes

18
Headlines

• Fitting or repairing missing
• pipe insulation could lead
• to CO2 savings of a further
• 250 tonnes
