Efficient energy management should be a clear focus for industry in the future. Not only does this approach help to reduce CO2
emissions, it makes
sound business sense across all industry sectors, says Eric Petela.
eingedämmt, das macht auch in allen Industriezweigen wirtschaftlich viel Sinn, meint Eric Petela.
Ein effizientes Energieman- agement sollte in Zukunft im Mittelpunkt der Industrie stehen. Durch diesen Ansatz werden nicht nur die CO2

Efficiency and resources – the twin benefits of energy management
aussi une décision logique au plan commercial, dans tous les secteurs, affirme Eric Petela.
La gestion efficace de l’énergie doit être l’une des priorités de l’industrie dans l’avenir. Cette stratégie contribue non seulement à réduire les émissions de CO2
mais c’est T a means of driving CO2
he recent United Nations COP15 conference in Copenhagen, Denamrk, has focused industry attention on the possibilities offered by carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies as emission cuts for energy-
intensive businesses. The need to control environmental emissions is
an increasingly urgent priority. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that by 2030 demand for energy will increase by 50 per cent compared
to today. Such a rise will inevitably force up CO2 emissions significantly, heightening the climate change
problem still further and making the efficient use of energy even more critical to resource conservation.
Carbon capture solutions CCS certainly has considerable potential as a means
of addressing these issues. Underlining this, leading companies across the energy sectors are currently engaged in piloting programmes using carbon capture technology solutions.
