Climate Change & Resource Efficiency

• Energy
   – Efficiency studies & audits
   – Alternative energy supply options      • Integrated energy,
        • Renewables, waste to energy,
          cogeneration/trigeneration          water & waste
• Water                                       infrastructure solutions
   –   Efficiency studies & audits             – Green infrastructure
   –   GHG emissions estimation
   –   Wastewater treatment/re-use
   –   Trade-waste studies

• Climate change strategy
   – Carbon price impacts to business

• Geotechnical
   – Impacts of sea level rise on coastal
     areas
Project background
Project background

• Energy efficiency study and level 3 energy audit
   – Level 3 (AS/NZS 3598:2000): a ‘firm’ assessment of energy use

   – Capital cost and savings estimates within 10% accuracy
     (Level 2 within 20%)

   – Scope: to assess beyond the ‘low-hanging fruit’
Data analysis

• Energy breakdown




• Compressed air demand analysis




• Data logging
Areas of focus

• Efficiency study covered production & administration
   – Total energy use
   – Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
   – Production processes & plant
       •   Compressed air
       •   Chilled water
       •   Conveyer systems
       •   Welding bays
   – Utilities
       • Hot water units
       • Natural gas supply
   – Lighting
Key findings

•   HVAC operating on weekends
•   Space heater control upgrade
•   Administration lighting operating on
    weekends
•   Conveyer system operates during lunch time



                                  •   Easy to implement
                                  •   Simple solutions that are often over
                                      looked
                                  •   Minimal disruption to process
Benefits delivered

– Identified energy saving opportunities for further
  32% reduction in annual energy consumption
    – at least 25 tangible, feasible initiatives
    – fully costed with capital expense, payback and ROI
– Some surprises…
  • heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) and
    lighting were identified as major areas of energy use
    – despite significant recent initiatives
– Significant hands on experience gained by Futuris
  team
  • enable similar programs at other sites and suppliers
– Understanding of the clear need for relevant targets
  • measure and track energy consumption, eg GJ/tonne
    – requiring smart meter installations
Why does energy, waste and water matter?

 – Manufacturing
     • energy and water to convert and value add
     • waste as output
 – Globalisation
     • must be locally and globally competitive
 – Industry ‘hot topic’
     • carbon dioxide pricing
 – Greenhouse gases
     • offsets, compliance, etc
 –   Rising costs
 –   Expectation of corporate responsibility
 –   Can it become a competitive advantage?
 –   How can we accelerate improvements throughout industry?
Sustainability, innovation and diversification

                                                 needs to
                                                 – align with business strategy

                 competitive
                  advantage                      strategic approach
                                                 – where do you cast the
sustainability                 diversification     biggest shadow?
                                                 – where to focus resources?
