This paper describes the potential use of benchmarking for evaluating Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the cement industry.

This 2-page factsheet presents an overview of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from automobile assembly plants in an easy-to-read format.

The factsheet is part of the Industrial Insights series, which uses EPA data to provide information on energy use in industrial facilities. EPA’s ENERGY STAR partnership has worked with the motor vehicle sector since 2002 to promote energy efficiency and best practices within the sector through the ENERGY STAR Motor Vehicle Industrial Focus initiative.

This document describes the data and analysis used to update the ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for wet corn mills. The paper also compares the results of the original 1997 EPI with the updated analysis which is useful to someone who is interested in how the industry has changed during the last decade. The first section describes the data and the analysis used for the update. The second section compares the two models to show how the energy performance of this industry has changed over time.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency expanded the ENERGY STAR program to address industrial energy efficiency in 2000. Since then, the program has helped manufacturers strengthen their energy management practices and has engaged entire manufacturing sectors in focused energy efficiency efforts. The results demonstrate that energy efficiency is a cost-effective strategy for reducing GHG emissions in the manufacturing sector.
