The EnegryWater project aims to improve the competitiveness of the EU industrial sector by reducing 20% energy cost in industrial water process.
To fulfil this ambitious objective the project has created the following tools:
Energy Angels network.
http://www.energywater-project.eu/energy-angels/(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie) This is network of experts in energy efficiency working to remove barriers in the implementation of energy efficiency measures in European manufacturing industries.
Energy Angels network overarching aims are:
i. To support industry across the European Union to identify and implement energy efficiency measures across industrial water processes.
ii. To bring together energy efficiency stakeholders, including energy efficiency experts, ESCOs, technology suppliers, energy managers and energy auditors throughout the whole of Europe.
iii. To facilitate contact between industry and skilled experts with the objective of providing them with support for the implementation and financing of their energy efficiency projects.
To enable these aims, we will gather energy experts (Energy Angels) from all around Europe to ensure the network has the capacity to respond to energy efficiency challenges regardless of regulatory and language differences across the EU. The 10 partners of the EnergyWater consortium are the first angels of the network and we are looking to grow rapidly to respond to the growing market needs.
Energy Management Self-Assessment (EMSA) web-tool.
http://energywater-emsa.eu/(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie)The EMSA web tool is an Energy Management Self-Assessment methodology that allows any industrial company to input data and receive an initial energy efficiency evaluation. This evaluation will be based on quantitative and qualitative data about their water processes. Results obtained include:
Initial energy efficiency assessment.
Benchmarking and ranking position between industrial companies by sector, size, country, etc.
List of improvement actions.
List of related Energy Angels with required knowledge.
Additionally 7 training sessions will be held from October to December 2017 by the partners of the EnergyWater project in Europe. The two main goals of this training sessions are to:
- Foster the development of the Energy Angel network by training future Energy Angels on the EMSA web-tool.
- Provide specific knowledge to energy experts on the energy efficiency of water processes in the industry;
The certification issued at the end of the training session will be important for professionals willing to become Energy Angels providing the service 1 (EA1) to companies: “EMSA web-tool support”.
The audience will be composed of professionals with proven background in energy efficiency who are interested in joining the Energy Angels network:
- Professionals providing services to manufacturing companies such as auditors, workers in ESCO’s or energy consultants.
- Professionals working in the manufacturing sector such as energy managers (Energy, Quality Assurance, Maintenance, Environment or Management).
