NWFPA ENERGY GOALS & ROADMAP ENERGY & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WORKSHOP FOR FOOD PROCESSORS Pamela Barrow, Energy Director July 14, 2011
Megatrends Global Competition Climate Change Sustainability Rising Energy Costs Water Shortage Increased Costs of Commodities and Raw Product
Energy Efficiency Component Global Competitiveness –Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production Climate Change –Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production Sustainability –Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production
NWFPA Energy Vision Enhanced productivity and competitiveness through a sustainable energy efficiency plan
Reduce member-wide energy intensity by 25% in 10 years and by 50% in 20 years NWFPA Energy Goal
Key Points About the Goal It is industry-wide not plant-specific It is voluntary It is a target It is energy intensity not absolute energy reductions It is based on a best guesstimate It was adopted by the NWFPA Board of Directors in January 2009
The MOU February 2009 Pledge of support and commitment to Goal Signatories: –NWFPA –USDOE –BPA –PNNL and INL
NWFPA Roadmap Workshop December 2008 Over 50 food processors Over 30 partners Produced 500+ ideas Vision and Roadmap Workshops funded by NEEA and USDOE
Why a Goal & Roadmap? Coalesce industry and focus NWFPA energy efforts Enhance member competitiveness Enhance funding opportunities Attract partner participation and support Public recognition for NWFPA & members Influence regulators, legislators & policy- makers
NWFPA Energy Roadmap Guides efforts to achieve the energy intensity reduction goals. Roadmap has two parts: –Association Roadmap –Roadmap for Members
Energy Intensity Baseline NPPCC 6 th Power Plan Analysis Roadmap Development Energy Assessments & Mapping Access To Energy Data Initial Roadmap Projects
Upcoming Events Energy Committee Meeting – Sept 14 NW Food Manufacturing &Packaging Expo and Conference – Jan th Annual Northwest Industrial Energy Efficiency Summit – Jan 18
