Energy efficiency, CO2<\/sub> reduction and strategic investments<\/h2>\n

With the looming deadline of 31 December 2024,<\/strong> energy-intensive companies face an important obligation under the EU Emissions Trading System: the submission of a climate roadmap<\/a>. That roadmap is not only essential for compliance, it also provides a unique opportunity to embed energy efficiency<\/a> within your company<\/strong> and improve the sustainability<\/a> of business processes, which results in financial benefits<\/strong> due to high energy prices.<\/p>\n

Start with your climate roadmap<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The 2023-2026 Energy Policy Agreement: a catalyst for success<\/h3>\n

Companies that join the 2023-2026 Energy Policy Agreement (EPA)<\/strong> can take advantage of attractive benefits offered by the Flemish government. Is your branch part of the energy-intensive sector? Then it is crucial to take action now. At a time when energy prices continue to rise, it is crucial for energy-intensive companies in Belgium to make energy efficiency<\/a> improvements and boost competitiveness.<\/strong> Using CO2<\/sub> reduction scenarios, you also contribute to the global climate targets by implementing low-carbon operations and production processes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As an ETS company with a final energy use of at least 0.1 PJ, you are required to draw up a climate roadmap<\/a>. As a non-ETS company, you must conduct a mandatory climate audit to identify cost-effective and feasible CO2<\/sub> reduction measures, including options for local renewable energy<\/a> production and electrification.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Making the climate leap smart<\/h3>\n

It is essential for a company to understand the impact of investments<\/strong> and tailor technology choices<\/strong> to specific, proprietary production processes<\/a> and environment. Consider industrial heat pumps, residual heat recovery\/heat integration, flexibility, demand site management, and new technologies such as electrification, carbon capture, and alternative energy vectors (methanol and hydrogen<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We understand that preparing a climate roadmap<\/a> can be a complex and time-consuming task. That is why, based on our experience with climate roadmaps for companies like Bayer and Milcobel, we have developed an efficient tool and methodology.<\/strong> These allow various scenarios, from business-as-usual and investment scenarios to strategic reduction plans,<\/strong> to be clearly and simply presented for different sites. Our team works closely with your energy and sustainability<\/a> manager to make the right choices. If required, we will support you in the execution so that your company is ready for the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Benefit from the VLAIO greening scan<\/h3>\n

Do you want to thoroughly examine the technical and economic feasibility of your investments? Then consider the greening scan. VLAIO ((Flemish Agency for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) will reimburse 85% of the cost of that scan,<\/strong> which means your company only pays 15%. This scan, which is available for small, medium, and large companies in Flanders, including non-ETS and ETS companies, consists of three steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Energy scan and priority setting<\/strong>: a thorough analysis of your energy use and the identification of improvement opportunities.<\/li>\n
  2. Longlist of greening proposals:<\/strong> a comprehensive list of potential measures to lower your energy consumption and reduce your ecological footprint.<\/li>\n
  3. Techno-economic screening of selected technologies:<\/strong> a detailed evaluation of the selected technologies, including technical feasibility and a cost-benefit analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
