SEP Special Project, Minnesota, 2005
Improved energy and environmental practices free up valuable resources that can be used by companies to upgrade equipment, expand into new markets, and remain competitive. This project addressed these opportunities through combined energy efficiency and pollution prevention facility assessments and using DOE Best Practices tools and resources for process heat, motors, steam, and compressed air. Technical assistance programs focused on helping industry achieve cost reductions through pollution prevention. This project advanced industrial improvements in energy efficiency, environmental performance, and productivity that result in lower raw material and energy use, improved labor and capital productivity, and reduced generation of wastes and pollutants. This project is part of a longer range program objective to help industry save money and become more competitive by identifying and implementing energy efficient and pollution preventing technologies as an integrated strategy. It conducted plant assessments that focused on opportunities to implement technologies in the facilities.
