    1. Industrial Technologies Program Department of Energy: Save Energy Now SPI Energy Efficiency Workshop June 20, 2006 Chicago, Illinois

    2. 2 Challenges for Energy-Intensive Industries Volatile energy prices Industry concern about natural gas costs and availability Influence of the emerging economies on energy and commodity prices Difficulty for process industries to make needed investments in R&D and commercialization Potential for “game-changing” scientific advances (e.g. nanotechnology) to transform industries

    3. 3 The top 10 energy-intensive industries account for almost 75% of total energy use in the industrial sector “Non-manufacturing” industries includes agriculture and mining “Other” includes metal casting, glass, cement, computers and electrical equipment, construction, heavy machinery, textiles, and forging.The top 10 energy-intensive industries account for almost 75% of total energy use in the industrial sector “Non-manufacturing” industries includes agriculture and mining “Other” includes metal casting, glass, cement, computers and electrical equipment, construction, heavy machinery, textiles, and forging.

    4. 4 ITP Mission is to : Improve the energy efficiency of U.S. industry through coordinated research and development, validation, and dissemination of innovative technologies and practices. Partner with industry and other stakeholders to Save energy Improve productivity Reduce reliance on foreign oil Reduce environmental impacts ITP works through collaborative partnerships with industry to develop and deploy technologies and practices that promote energy efficiency. To maximize effectiveness, we use a partnership approach (two-way partnership with industry, suppliers, universities, national labs, others). Collaborative R&D: We invest about $100 million annually in collaborative, cost-shared partnerships that conduct R&D on promising technologies to meet the priority needs of industry. Partners spread the costs and risks of R&D Partnerships bring together expertise, experience, resources, and facilities to accelerate the pace of technology advances. Technology Delivery: To get today’s energy-efficient technologies and best energy management practices into use on the plant floor, we also conduct a range of outreach and partnership activities such as training, assessments, and demonstrations.

    5. 5 Response to Energy Supply & Cost Issues “America’s businesses, factories, and manufacturing facilities use massive amounts of energy. To help them during this period of tightening supply and rising costs, our Department is sending teams of qualified efficiency experts to 200 of the nation’s most energy-intensive factories. Our Energy Saving Teams will work with on-site managers on ways to conserve energy and use it more efficiently.” Secretary of Energy Bodman National Press Club October 3, 2005

    6. 6 Secretarial Initiative: “Save Energy Now”

    7. 7 Energy Savings Teams Teams are composed of DOE Qualified Energy Experts and plant personnel Teams focus on either steam generation or process heating Plant personnel and affiliates are trained on DOE efficient tools

    17. 17 On-line Plant Energy Profiler “QuickPEP” Now that I’ve discussed how the PEP tool fits into our tool strategy, I want to take you through a brief overview of the PEP Tool. The PEP tool is a tool that takes a plant-wide approach to energy savings and looks at both equipment efficiency and operation practices to identify savings opportunities. Users input plant data that includes : equipment information that describes the plant’s operation and production, energy costs and usage from monthly fuel and electric bills as well as energy generation and exportation information. operation practices information The PEP Tool uses this data to: provide plant-wide energy maps for electricity, fuel, & steam to describe the plant’s energy flow and usage. identify where energy efficiency opportunities exist give the user an idea of the magnitude of the savings associated with these opportunities compare the plant’s practices to industry recognized best practices Now that I’ve discussed how the PEP tool fits into our tool strategy, I want to take you through a brief overview of the PEP Tool.
