Reducing CO₂ Emissions by > 200k Tons/Year

The global manufacturing industry is increasingly investing in optimizing its carbon footprint. Reduction targets of 50 percent less emission, or 35 percent less energy consumption are very common. The new mindset for corporate executives is that investing in low emission technologies and implementing new behavior to reduce consumption is no longer just a cost issue.

The projected impact of CO₂ emissions scenarios is massive and has resulted in a call-for-action for leaders across the world

How the challenge was faced

The tasks:

• analyzing current energy generation levels
• validating the client’s carbon footprint
• simulating investment strategies and calculated impact on the carbon footprint
• adding a choice of three ‘big impact scenarios’ as potential game changers

> 200k t/a CO₂ in potential emissions reductions identified

The client was provided with a sound database and modelling tool enabling them to simulate the impact of local green power generation projects on carbon footprint and simultaneously analyze the financial benefits. All in all, potential emissions reductions of more than 200,000 t/a were identified against a target of 120,000 t/a. To assure a fast implementation we proposed the development of an Energy Roadmap and the installation of lighthouse projects.
