  1. Energy saving concepts for the European ceramic industry- CERAMIN -Contract number: EIE/06/222/SI2.444565Duration: 11/2006 – 10/2009Date: December 2009 Project logo

  2. CERAMIN – Project Summary Energy saving concepts for the European ceramic industry Partners involved: • IE, Leipziger Institut für Energie GmbH, Germany; (Coordination) • KI Keramik-Institut GmbH, Germany • CERAM Research Ltd., United Kingdom • Societe Francaise de Ceramique, France • ETA – Energia, Trasporti, Agricoltura srl, Italy • Centre Recuroso d’Iniciatives I Autocupacio, s.l., Spain • Instytut Szkla, Ceramiki, Materialow Ogniotrwalych i Budowlanych , Poland Expected results: • Energy decrease in production processes • Reduction of production costs • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

  3. CERAMIN – Background Problems and issues: • Within Europe, ceramic products of approximately 26 billion € p.a. are produced. • The ceramic industry counts to the large consumers of energy in Europe. • Ceramic producers have enormous financial burdens because of increasing fuel costs and political measures to decrease the CO2 emissions. • Energy costs are partly above 30 % of total production costs. Opportunities: • Through optimisation of production processes energy efficiency increases; specific production costs and CO2 emissions decrease. • Strengthening the market position of involved producers. • Implementing of an energy use related label (produced with extraordinary efficient energy) leads to a positive EU-wide voluntary competition.

  4. CERAMIN - Objectives and major steps - Reduction of the energy use in production processes of the European ceramic industry • Analysis of established production processes in representative enterprises through questionnaires and on-site visits. • Elaboration of a methodical approach to define the project steps and measurements (definitions, data collection, label awarding: trial period and implementation). • Involvement of representative enterprises of major sub-branches of the ceramic industry into the project execution. • Development of benchmarks and guidelines for best practice (to set up the label awarding extraordinary energy efficient products). • Trial period of label awarding, adjustment and optimisation of benchmarks and verification procedures. • Implementation of label awarding. • Dissemination of project results through different types of media.

  5. CERAMIN – Achieved Results I • Characteristics of energy consumption and description of state of the art in ceramic industry. • Setting of benchmarks and establishing criteria for EEE-label (extraordinary energy efficient production/products; energy efficiency enhancement): absolute/relative benchmark for competition. • Elaboration of a “Guide of verification methodology”. • Setting up questionnaires for verification and label awarding. • Development of certificate documents for the label awarding. • Label design. • Tutorial for Energy Saving in the ceramic industry, through detail analysis in ceramic production of involved industry partners (draft version). • Writing of press announcements, newspaper articles. • Creation of a web-site. • Informing about energy efficiency within ceramic industry.

  6. CERAMIN – Achieved Results II • Implementation of the first awarding of ceramic industries in different sub-branches aside an international trade fare in Munich in October 2009. • Elaboration of Final papers for the of the label awarding procedure: Tutorial for Energy Saving in the ceramic industry, design of EEE-label, rules and means for label awarding. • Writing of further press announcements, newspaper articles, information of consumerism organisations. • Holding of national and international workshops and conferences. • Update of CERAMIN web-site. • Informing about energy efficiency within ceramic industry and customer information. • Expected: Calculation of CO2-mitigation through CERAMIN project.
