Much of the energy use in the industry is given by decisions made during the project phase. It is important to select concepts, systems and equipment that reduce the energy use and the emissions as far as reasonably possible.
If energy consumption is not adequately addressed during concept and engineering stages, the result can be an economically suboptimal operation with:
- Oversized equipment
- Large losses and poor efficiency in equipment
- Lack of interest for well recognized energy saving solutions
- Lack of insight in the energy use
- Lack of interest in alternative solutions such as electrification and hybridization
As a consequence, when asked, many industry operators have only a vague idea about the amount of energy they actually use.
