Recommendation Detail

Improve the energy efficiency of your products and services

Using concepts such as life-cycle analysis and cradle-to-cradle evaluation, chemical companies should evaluate the energy consumption profile of their product portfolio. Companies should identify the products with the highest energy consumption and initiate design and process changes to improve the overall energy efficiency of their product portfolio.

SE4All Target: Energy Efficiency Engagement Modality: Core Business, Products & Services Description: Understanding the energy consumption of a product or product manufacturing process is the first step in reducing energy use and improving energy efficiency. Energy accounts for as much as 25% of the total production cost for chemicals, making it a critical component of overall cost and profitability. Once the energy impact is known, alternatives can be evaluated, assessed, and developed. Increasing the energy efficiency of product production can lead to significant cost reduction benefits and can drive the return needed to implement tangible activities. Chemical companies should take a measured and systematic approach to evaluating product and process portfolios. Of the thousands of products produced by the chemical company every year, only a certain portion drive high energy use and it is important to focus attention in the right areas. Related Industries: Professional Services, Fuels, Renewables, Consumer Packaged Goods, Information and Communications Technology Technology / Innovation Opportunities: The innovation aspect of this recommendation lies within the methodology used to assess the energy use of products and processes. Additionally, it is in developing ways to make the process cheaper and more standardized so that it can be scaled across a portfolio without sacrificing quality. Finally, there are innovative ways to apply the results, such as comparing alternatives and using the information to lower the overall impact of a product portfolio.

Partnership Opportunities: One of the most significant partnership opportunities in this realm is between supplier and customer, regardless of where a company sits in the value chain. Feedstock materials often require a significant amount of energy to process and from the production point to the customer there are opportunities to save energy. These opportunities often start with the design, but can also include things like product packaging and transport. By partnering up and down the value chain, chemical companies can seek innovative ways to lower the energy intensity of their product portfolio.
