NWFPA ENERGY GOALS & ROADMAP ENERGY & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WORKSHOP FOR FOOD PROCESSORS Pamela Barrow, Energy Director July 14, 2011
Megatrends • Global Competition • Climate Change • Sustainability • Rising Energy Costs • Water Shortage • Increased Costs of Commodities and Raw Product
Energy Efficiency Component • Global Competitiveness • Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production • Climate Change • Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production • Sustainability • Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production
NWFPA Energy Vision Enhanced productivity and competitiveness through a sustainable energy efficiency plan
NWFPA Energy Goal Reduce member-wide energy intensity by 25% in 10 years and by 50% in 20 years
Key Points About the Goal • It is industry-wide not plant-specific • It is voluntary • It is a target • It is energy intensity not absolute energy reductions • It is based on a best guesstimate • It was adopted by the NWFPA Board of Directors in January 2009
The MOU • February 2009 • Pledge of support and commitment to Goal • Signatories: • NWFPA • USDOE • BPA • PNNL and INL
NWFPA Roadmap Workshop • December 2008 • Over 50 food processors • Over 30 partners • Produced 500+ ideas • Vision and Roadmap Workshops funded by NEEA and USDOE
Why a Goal & Roadmap? • Coalesce industry and focus NWFPA energy efforts • Enhance member competitiveness • Enhance funding opportunities • Attract partner participation and support • Public recognition for NWFPA & members • Influence regulators, legislators & policy-makers
NWFPA Energy Roadmap • Guides efforts to achieve the energy intensity reduction goals. • Roadmap has two parts: • Association Roadmap • Roadmap for Members
Initial Roadmap Projects • Energy Intensity Baseline • NPPCC 6th Power Plan Analysis • Roadmap Development • Energy Assessments & Mapping • Access To Energy Data
Upcoming Events • Energy Committee Meeting – Sept 14 • NW Food Manufacturing &Packaging Expo and Conference – Jan 16 - 17 • 4th Annual Northwest Industrial Energy Efficiency Summit – Jan 18
