BMW Motoren GmbH implemented Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software to reduce lifecycle energy consumption of car engines and the results were a savings of 3 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

Most home cooks have standard go-to methods for cooking certain dishes, but it’s good to take a step back to consider how much energy goes into preparing the food on your table and whether there’s a better, more efficient way of doing it.

A new research project aims to reduce the energy consumption of container ships by 10-20 percent. This will result in considerable environmental and economic benefits.

O'Brien says the M2G takes readings every second to recognise when boilers are dry-cycling and turns them off accordingly, generating bill savings of between 10 and 25 per cent.

With ever increasing recycling targets to meet, manufacturers of glass bottles and jars need to make sure that they can feed their furnaces with the highest quality of cullet (recycled glass) and maximise the energy and carbon saving benefits that this offers.

In Canada, the Green Mining Initiative successfully installed an automated mine ventilation system in an underground mine in greater Sudbury, Ontario. This resulted to a reduction of up to 40 percent of the energy consumption, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and cost savings amounting up to $4 million annually.

International Paper does exactly that, generating 72 percent of its energy from forest residuals. The company has also been working to improve energy efficiency, with a goal of a 15 percent reduction in purchased energy by 2020. An investment of $290 million has led to a reduction of 9 trillion BTUs per year.

The effect of burning one ton of cow dung equals that of burning half a ton of coal. Figures show that South Korea is able to use 3.5 million tons of cow dung as an auxiliary fuel per year, which means reducing coal consumption by 1.75 million tons and saving nearly 220 billion won (about 200 million U.S. dollars).
