Energy efficiency and conservation measures continue to provide the largest benefit in sectors where most of the energy is used. For natural gas that is clearly the industrial sector. This website seeks to provide current and emerging technology solutions for manufacturing and industrial process plants. Equipment, processes, and energy management tools provide cost-effective solutions for increased energy efficiency that often also reduce emissions, and improve the productivity of plant and process operations. Member utilities of the Energy Solutions Center representing both the US and Canada have joined hands in forming an Industrial Energy
Efficiency consortium dedicated to improving the competitive position of its industrial customers by promoting and supporting the deployment of energy efficient technologies and practices.
Firebridge Inc. (www.firebridgeinc.com) is an engineering company with a leading focus on Industrial Energy Savings.

Focus on America
The implementation of sound energy efficiency programs lowers energy bills, helps control energy price volatility, reduces demands on our nation’s strained utility infrastructure, postpones the need for more power plants, reduces the reliance on energy imports, anddecreases our nation’s carbon foot print. Many of our utilities, including DTE Energy, National Fuel Gas Distribution,and Southern California Gas Company, have active programs that assist industrial customers with theimplementation of energy efficient measures.
On the government front, the US Department of Energy has been helping industrial customers identify energy savings through a comprehensive Save Energy Now program. Current programs for the industrial sector are provided at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/industry.
Announcement: U.S. industries join DOE to improve energy efficiency
Thirty-two U.S. companies have pledged to reduce the energy intensity of their industrial activities by 25 percent. They spotlighted the effort by joining DOE’s new Save Energy Now LEADER program.
