“…The company developed a so-called Structured Efficiency System for Energy (STRUCTese®) which allows the detailed measurement and tracking of energy efficiency. Drumm et al (2013) concluded that the system provides full transparency about the status quo as well as the further improvement potential and the result of a total energy consumption reduction of 26% for a real plant shows the benefit of such a transparent visualization of energy efficiency. Dobes (2013) asserts that even enterprises with very advanced management systems seldom monitor efficiency of energy usage within their processes and therefore have difficulties effectively managing their energy efficiency.…”

“…In contrast, Drumm et al (2013), based on a single case study of a German chemical company, describe a best practice example of how the difficult task of measuring and improving energy efficiency in a chemical plant can be successfully mastered. The company developed a so-called Structured Efficiency System for Energy (STRUCTese®) which allows the detailed measurement and tracking of energy efficiency.…”

“…The controlling element ensures the constant collection of energy-related data, including financial and particularly non-financial aspects, within an energy information system and thereby monitors the energy use and related energy costs of a company (Bunse et al, 2011;Drumm et al, 2013;Kannan & Boie, 2003). Furthermore, it defines key performance indicators (KPI), measures and evaluates the performance effects of the implemented energy efficiency measures, benchmarks against internal and external objects of comparison and suggests, if necessary, corrective actions (Bunse et al, 2011;McKane et al, 2007;Sivill et al, 2013).…”

Current research points to a large energy efficiency potential in industry which is still left unexploited. One of the most promising means of reducing energy consumption and related energy costs is implementing an energy management. This paper provides a systematic review of existing academic journal publications on energy management in industry. Five essential key elements of an energy management based on overarching themes are identified within the body of literature (strategy/planning, implementation/operation, controlling, organization and culture) and the specific findings relating to each key element are synthesized. Subsequently a conceptual framework of an energy management is developed which illustrates that a comprehensive approach is necessary in order to effectively exploit the existing energy efficiency potential. Finally implications for further research are described.

“…An ICCA (International Council of Chemical Associations) report states that the total green-house gas equivalent emissions from the chemical industry alone is 2.1 GtCO 2 e which is a significant proportion of the global man-made emissions and of which two-thirds is from energy-use during production (Drumma et al 2013). Consequently, the chemical and petroleum industry particularly has a major responsibility in reducing their carbon foot-print and embracing energy efficiency could help in achieving the emission reduction target.…”

ISO 50001 for the Petroleum Industry – A Basis for Partnership Between Operating Companies and EPC Contractors for Successful Implementation

Many Operating Companies (OPCOs) in the Middle-East petroleum industry are adopting the ISO 50001 standard for Energy Management. EPC Companies (EPCs) would be the ideal partner for the OPCOs to ensure energy management system requirements are implemented right from the design and construction stage of the facilities.Requirements for energy efficiency in design should be included from the FEED stage to ensure minimum schedule impact during the EPC stage. Provisions in contracts would ensure EPCs understand and take responsibility for achieving the target energy efficiency in the design. Other methods, such as performing energy audits, right sizing, settings for optimum energy efficient plant operations, measurement, monitoring and trending, etc., are other ways by which EPCs could further contribute towards attaining the objective of the OPCOs. All energy users considered in the energy management programme, such as compressed air usage, water consumption, waste generation, etc. could be optimized by the EPCs. It is important to get the design specifications for energy efficient systems implemented during the design and construction phase to reap maximum benefits from the energy efficient measures.This paper could be used as a basic foundation for the OPCOs and the EPCs to work towards a comprehensive strategy to deliver projects with energy management requirements being included inherently in the design and construction phases of the project.

“…The chemical industry as an energy‐intensive industry is motivated to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 emissions for two main reasons: rising concerns in companies, the public and scientific community about climate change or global warming, and the increasing fraction of energy in manufacturing costs . Since energy represents a significant share of operating expenses at chemical plants, energy efficiency is presently the most effective and economic lever to sustainably lower energy consumption and CO 2 emissions . On the other hand, energy efficiency is not a primary objective of chemical production – at least not prior to safety, throughput, yield, quality and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).…”

Summary:The chemical industry has set ambitious targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. In the present work, a systematic approach for a successful reduction of energy consumption and emissions is presented. A Structured Efficiency System for Energy (STRUCTese 1 ) helps to identify, monitor and manage energy efficiency. The method fosters and accompanies energy saving measures as shown in the first two examples from polymer production: energy savings through operational efficiency and raw material savings with a new plant design. In addition, such a systematic approach pushes the development of innovative processes and provides a vision for an energy efficient future as shown in the third example: the use of CO 2 as a raw material in the copolymerization with epoxides.
