10 Facts about Energy Management
About 11% of all EU energy consumption can be economised cost-effectively through the adoption of more effective energy management. Energy management is a structured process through which organisations seek to optimise their energy use, by reducing energy waste, increasing energy-efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy. Energy management standards, such as EN ISO 50001, offer a comprehensive approach to address the various behavioural, technological and regulatory requirements....

This paper describes the 4 step approach of KSB to optimize the energy efficiency of a hydraulic system. While focussing on the entire life-cycle, the aim is to lower operating costs. The approach starts with a system analysis to detect optimization potential and ends with usage of smart pump technology and services during operation - see also paper on industry 4.0 and smart pump technology. It contains links to details of each step of the process....

"We can't oversell Energy Efficiency", says EEIP President Rod Janssen. But with the Energy Management System ISO 50001, and the Energy Efficiency Directive in place, it is plain to see for everyone that Energy Efficiency has become an important economic and industrial factor far beyond climate protection. For Janssen, the best event to learn and discuss best practice, is the World Sustainable Energy Days in Wels, Austria.

8% of global CO2 emissions come from cement production. In a context where all the sectors are aiming to achieve the 2C Paris agreement, the cement industry has to fight against the emissions which produce, while assumes that demand and use of this material is still set to rise. The unstoppable world globalization and urbanization is demanding this basic material, but we will need to dramatically cut it specially in China and India, we talk about a 24% cut in cement emissions to meet 2C scenario. Will this goal be feasible?
