ENERGY STAR Focus on Energy Efficiency in Asphalt Pavement Production

Asphalt plant
Southbury, CT asphalt pavement plant, O&G Industries

The Asphalt Pavement Production focus is a coordination between EPA's ENERGY STAR program, the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), and U.S. asphalt pavement producers to reduce energy consumption and costs at the plant level through proven practices and technologies.  Participants in the focus will be able to join peer group conference calls, attend an annual ENERGY STAR Industrial meeting, have access to ENERGY STAR tools, and contribute to development of the Asphalt Pavement Production Energy Guide. This focus launched in November 2019.

Benefits of participating

  • Learn strategies to reduce fuel and electricity costs in a peer network.
  • Co-brand your energy program with ENERGY STAR, one of the most recognizable brands in the U.S.
  • Network with leading manufacturers on best practices in energy management.
  • Receive public recognition from ENERGY STAR for your energy efficiency achievements.

Focus Activities

Asphalt Plant Energy Performance Peer Exchange (APEX) Program

Companies participating in the Asphalt Pavement Production focus can join APEX calls hosted jointly by NAPA and ENERGY STAR where participants share energy management tips and learn more about energy efficiency at asphalt mix plants.

Energy Performance Indicator for Asphalt Mix Plants

ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicators (EPIs) assess the energy performance of plant's relative to similar plants in the U.S. EPIs and provide a 1 - 100 ENERGY STAR score for a quick understanding of how the plant is performing.

Use the Asphalt Mix Plant EPI to benchmark your asphalt mix plant's energy performance and see if it is eligible for ENERGY STAR plant certification.

Read the technical documentation and frequently asked questions to learn how the EPI was developed and how ENERGY STAR scores for asphalt mix plants are calculated.

To learn more about how EPIs are developed, how to interpret an EPI score, and how to value benchmarking view the Benchmarking Industrial Energy Performance guide.

EPIs can also be used as a management tool to inform meaningful goal setting and enable simple scenario analysis. They can provide insight into both the current and potential performance of a manufacturing plant. To help you leverage the EPI for maximum impact on managing your energy savings efforts, review the Getting Value from Your Industry’s Plant Energy Performance Indicator guide.

Energy Guide for Asphalt Mix Plants

The ENERGY STAR Energy Efficiency and Cost Saving Opportunities for Asphalt Mixture Production contains over fifty ways to improve energy use at your plants. Download the guide to learn how to save money in your operations, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the embodied carbon of your mixes. ENERGY STAR Energy Guides are developed through a collaboration with industry. Consult the tip sheet to understand how you can leverage the guide in your organization.

Collaboration with the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA)

ENERGY STAR is collaborating with NAPA on this industrial focus to better connect with the industry and provide resources for asphalt plants across the nation. More information on NAPA can be found on NAPA's website.

Other Activities for Participants

Join ENERGY STAR’s Industrial Partnership

Many manufacturers, including well recognized companies within their industries, are ENERGY STAR partners. ENERGY STAR partners voluntarily commit to track energy and implement an energy management program. Learn more here.

Find Hidden Energy Treasures

An Energy Treasure Hunt engages employees in identifying low cost or no cost energy saving opportunities by focusing on improving the day-to-day operations of existing equipment. Use ENERGY STAR resources to plan your treasure hunt and learn from other asphalt mix manufacturers who participated in a train-the-trainer treasure hunt. 

Help Your Plant Set Goals and Earn Recognition

The ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry is an energy management tool that helps companies set plant energy performance improvement goals. Sites that achieve the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry are recognized by the EPA for their leadership in reducing energy intensity. Learn more here.

Embodied Carbon Calculator for Asphalt Mix Plants

Use this Excel-based calculator to quickly identify the embodied carbon emissions of an asphalt mix that originate from the asphalt mix manufacturing plant.
