Energy efficiency and greenhouse gas abatement for heavy industry

Reducing the carbon footprint brought on by plant inefficiencies, with the goals of reducing plant costs, achieving energy efficiency and security, and abating greenhouse gases (GHGs) — of which carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main culprit — is a serious challenge faced by today's leading industrial producers.

This paper will highlight global GHG abatement regulations and trends, and uncover a number of solutions to reduce industry's contribution to global warming with energy efficiency strategies. It will explore effective ways to produce energy more cost effectively, purchase energy more economically and reduce overall energy usage, contributing to significant reductions in emissions.
