\"MHI-Q0116_L_Final-12\"<\/a>Companies looking to make their facilities\u2014 and the facilities of their supply chain partners\u2014more energy efficient have a myriad of tools that can help them, via resources offered by the federal government and industry coalitions, not to mention vendor solutions.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Better Buildings, Better Plants Program offers technical support to help companies that have voluntarily pledged to reduce their \u201cenergy intensity\u201d\u2014energy per unit of output\u2014by 25 percent over a 10-year period. To date, roughly 150 industrial companies have made the pledge and collectively have saved about 320 trillion British thermal units and almost $1.7 billion in energy costs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good start, as the industrial sector uses a great deal of energy\u2014 more than $200 billion per year, says Andre de Fontaine, who leads the program within the agency\u2019s Advanced Manufacturing Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf companies implement energy-efficient processes, they can not only reduce pollution from greenhouse gas emissions, they can also save money,\u201d de Fontaine says. \u201cThey could then use that savings to reinvest in plants and new technologies and hire more employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agency also provides energy reduction incentives for firms within the partners\u2019 supply chains, as up to 80 percent of energy consumption can reside \u201cupstream\u201d in the supply chain\u2014from raw materials, transport and packaging to the energy consumed in manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n
