Energy management and its potential optimization in the industrial sectors
The European Commission, DG XI, has published an invitation to tender for the completion of a study on energy management and its potential optimization in the industrial sectors. The study will pursue the following objectives: - a) Establishment of the direct relation between energy efficiency and environmental impact of the industrial installations through substance emissions, including the calorific discharges (of fluids at non-ambient temperature) in the environment; - b) Investigation of the means of production, consumption and recovery of energy, including the recuperation of energy from secondary sources (use of substitution fuels allowing the recovery of the calorific energy of certain substances considered as waste) and the identification of the processes and practices that are most efficient in terms of energy and environment; - c) Economic evaluation of the energy processes and practices identified previously (cost-effectiveness analysis); - d) Numerical estimate of the possible reductions of industrial emissions in the European Union and of the associated costs. A detailed description of the tasks to be carried out by the contractor is included in the technical annex of the call for tender dossier. The project must be completed within 12 months from the date of signature of the contract.
