19. a ENERGY EFFICIENCY KNOWLEDGE SHARING (Non smelting energy)

20. a Alcoa Europe Energy Program Energy Use Reduction Data Collection and Reporting Energy Risk Management Physical Procurement Energy Strategic Plan

21. a Alcoa Europe Energy Program Energy Use Reduction Energy Strategic Plan “Best Practices” screening at all facilities Facilitate sharing of use reduction strategies between sites Perform facility walk- through – share plant energy expertise Provide analysis of payback/return for use reduction capital projects Coordinate supply side/use side strategies

22. a Energy Efficiency Program – Steps in the Process l Distribution of an “Energy Efficiency A ssessment” for the facilities to fill out l The Assessments are screened for areas that indicate potential use reduction opportunities l We also use the Assessments and the evaluation of the opportunities to select sites at which to conduct on-site assessments

23. a Energy Efficiency Program – Steps in the Process l On-site assessments are done by a team of technical consultants including energy experts from other facilities (strong enabler to knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer) l Following the on-site visit, a report is delivered to the site identifying specific energy efficiency projects, capital costs, estimated savings, payback periods and implementation steps l Facility reports are shared with other facilities to increase the knowledge transfer

24. a Energy Efficiency Potential Areas of Assessment l Energy use assessment  Power and fuel consumption survey and analysis l Electric power demand study  Demand characterization  Demand management and control  Load shedding study l Compressed air system

25. a Energy Efficiency Potential Areas of Assessment l Kiln operations  Combustion optimization  Refractory investigation  Heat recovery l Annealing system analysis l Hot rolling mill preheat system l Boiler house and steam system improvements l Lighting
