White House Accelerates Investment in Industrial Energy Efficiency

  

"Washington, DC, August 30th, 2012: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote American manufacturing by helping to facilitate investments in energy efficiency at industrial facilities, it is hereby ordered as follows:   

 

Section 1. Policy.  The industrial sector accounts for over 30 percent of all energy consumed in the United States, and, for many manufacturers, energy costs affect overall competitiveness."  ...  Read the Executive Order

  

"Despite these benefits, independent studies have pointed to under-investment in industrial energy efficiency and CHP as a result of numerous barriers. The Federal Government has limited but important authorities to overcome these barriers ...

 
There is no one size fits all solution for our manufacturers, so it is imperative that we support these investments through a variety of approaches ... To formalize and support the close interagency coordination that is required to accelerate greater investment in industrial energy efficiency and CHP, this order directs ... Federal authorities, programs, and policies to support investment in industrial energy efficiency and CHP."
 
Comment on Executive Order by Sofame Technologies:
 
"Sofame has proven time and time again that investing in efficiency is lucrative financially, prudent to conserve fuel resources, and good for the environment by reducing emissions.  The White House initiative to stimulate investment in industiral energy efficiency can only help to raise awareness of this immediate opportunity."

Power Generation Applications

An exciting new opportunity for Sofame is the way that direct contact technology has been applied to electric power generation. The U.S. electricity market is the world's largest, comprising one-fifth of both global demand and power plant capacity.

 

With natural gas prices at historic lows compared to all other fuels, many utilities are converting to gas-fired turbines which are about 40% efficient. In a well-run power plant generating electricity, steam and cooling for air conditioning, co-generation brings efficiency up to 70%. Sofame can take that number up to 99% if there is a need and a use for hot water at 135�F. The potential additional fuel savings of 29% represent a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions.

 

Today, institutions, universities, hospitals and industrial plants are also opting to generate their own electricity due to the availability of clean-firing gas turbines. This trend led Siemens and Alstom to build gas turbine plants in the United States to meet the demand. Since the demand for electricity is ever on the rise, Sofame's direct contact heat recovery technology can cost-effectively help reduce the impact on the atmosphere.

So Energy Efficient. Sofame.
