How can the chemicals sector reach decarbonisation targets? On-Site Energy Ltd will be showcasing its expertise for scaling back carbon emissions at the industry’s leading exhibition ChemUK 2023 on the 10th-11th May at the NEC in Birmingham.
With net-zero 2050 in mind, the chemicals sector is one of the hardest to decarbonise due to its reliance on gas to reach process temperatures. Mitigating CO2 emitted from use of gas isn’t straightforward. But there are fresh, innovative solutions for improving energy efficiency, which can have a substantial impact on a business’s operating costs and carbon emissions, as well as enhancing energy security.
Meeting On-Site’s dedicated team of experts at Stand B72 could open the door to your business unlocking its sustainability potential. Aptly situated next to the sustainability stage at the show where visitors to ChemUK can also attend a discussion panel which includes David Kipling, CEO at On-Site Energy, as a thought leader. David will be speaking from 15:00 – 15:15 on Wednesday 10th May on stage 3.
He will be explaining On-Site Energy’s holistic, and data led approach to overcoming the challenges facing chemical manufacturers regarding energy costs and CO2 footprint migration. Adopting opportunities for energy recovery and delivering local energy production can help to transform utility efficiency.
Other industry concerns that David will be addressing are the barriers preventing organisations from delivering energy and carbon reduction projects (longer payback, limited project management bandwidth, competition for capital) and how these issues can be resolved.
He said: “ChemUK will be an exciting show. We aim to build new relationships with chemical companies looking to reduce emissions and costs. We’re thrilled to be exhibiting as well as joining other keynote speakers on stage. There are bound to be lively discussions generating much food for thought among the audience. We don’t bite, so come and have a chat.”
Chemicals are key for almost every other manufacturing industry so sustainability cannot come at the expense of financial viability. It’s a journey to net zero, particularly for a business with complex processes that rely on gas. On-Site can develop a pathway to 2050 with access to innovative technology.
Solutions to lower emissions in the chemicals sector include heat recovery and reducing reliance on the grid. On-site electricity generation also brings a number of key benefits. A local energy source is more efficient than the grid so can help stabilise operating costs and makes forward budgeting easier. Another advantage is energy security and autonomy, vital for long-term prosperity.
On-Site are able to offer these measures on a zero capex, off-balance sheet financial model whereby they fund the planning process, concept design, construction, and ongoing management of the equipment without any capital outlay required from the customer. This is key in enabling projects that would have otherwise been shelved due to bottlenecks such as a lack of available capital or limited project management resources.
On-Site Energy will be on Stand B72 at ChemUK 2023 at the NEC Birmingham on the 10th-11th May.
