Improving Energy Efficiency in Industrial Solutions - Walk the Talk

摘要: This paper describes the outline of energy efficiency and environmental care policy management at Siemens Industry Solutions Division. coherently embraces strategic planning, eco-design energy-efficient industrial processes solutions, design evaluation finally communication both economic performance solutions to customers. One main tools supporting & controlling derived is so called “Eco-Care-Matrix” (ECM). The ECM simply visualizes eco-efficiency compared a given baseline. In order prevent from “green washing” criticism ensure “walk talk” attitude should be scientifically well-founded using appropriate consistent methodology. vertical axis an illustrates horizontal economical customer benefit one or more green defined reference solution. Different scientific approaches for quantifying based on life cycle assessment methodology are discussed especially considering ISO standards 14040/14044:2006. Appropriate application illustrated example MEROS ® technology (Maximized Emission Reduction Sintering) steel industry. currently most modern powerful system cleaning off-gas in sinter plants. As binding removing sulfur dioxide other acidic gas components present stream by dry absorbents additional electrical power. Advantage impact category acidification potential (by desulfurization) trade-off disadvantages global warming resource depletion caused use electricity. Representing different impacts, indicator results categories with tendencies have therefore not aggregated single-score result. Results communicated form self-declared claim (type II labeling, 14021) presented.
