Energy Efficiency in Medium-Sized Enterprises

The project conducts capacity building activities to improve consulting and training services for selected industrial sectors which are emission-intensive. Activities are based on the EU guidelines and concepts of "Integrated Prevention and Control of Pollution" (IPPC) and "Best Available Techniques/Technology" (BAT).

Approaches

The project focuses on 5 selected pilot sectors:

• Glass manufacturing: container, tableware
• Ferrous Metal Casting
• Non-Ferrous Casting: aluminum
• Textil: dyeing and finishing
• Canned Food: vegetable and tuna

It develops sector guidelines on improvement of energy, environment, and safety aspects, and conduct capacity building measures (trainings and consulting services) for specific target groups. An information center and network on energy and environment for SMEs will be established to create synergies with other initiatives. For reason of optimization, an integrated permitting process and inspection will be introduced.

Set-up and Stakeholders

Objectives

• To improve energy efficiency and environmental performance of medium sized industrial enterprises in production and manufacturing.
