Energy-intensive industries

We begin by understanding our clients’ sustainability goals. Then we tailor solutions to the specific challenges of the client’s market, business model, manufacturing process and energy needs.

There is no one solution that fits all industries. But interventions to substantially reduce emissions will typically include:

1. Assessing product design to identify materials and mechanical features that require less energy to produce without sacrificing performance. Where possible, circular business models (recycling, remanufacturing etc.) may be part of the solution
2. Evaluating new production techniques and operating methods to improve quality and economic competitiveness while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
3. Implementing energy efficiency measures through equipment upgrades, increasing use of energy reducing automation, and recovering and reusing heat discharged from infrastructure and production assets.
4. Switching to renewable energy. Coupled with in-factory electrification, sourcing energy from renewable sources represents a large potential for decarbonisation.

In some cases, remaining residual emissions after these measures have been implemented can be abated through carbon capture and storage (CCS). Learn more about our CCS offering here.
