ENERGY STAR Focus on Energy Efficiency in Chlor-Alkali Production

The “chlor-alkali focus” is a partnership between EPA’s ENERGY STAR program, the Chlorine Institute, and chlor-alkali manufacturing companies to improve energy efficiency within their operations. Tools are available here to help improve manufacturing energy efficiency, save money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Chlor-Alkali producers can get started on a path of saving energy by using the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Management to build an energy management program, and then work within this chlor-alkali focus to learn best practices from the industry. If you operate a chlor-alkali plant and want to get involved in your industry’s efforts to save energy, contact energystrategy@energystar.gov.
