Helping the Environment - Reducing Carbon Emissions

Coloured blocks

With escalating fuel prices, along with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) coming into force in 2005 and other climate change programmes, most organisations are paying increased attention to reducing their energy usage. Additional taxes are now levied against companies that do not demonstrate quantifiable reductions in their energy usage or emissions, and larger energy users now require IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control) Permits. In addition, in many countries, workplace legislation is forcing businesses to reduce workplace temperatures.

Inditherm can help companies achieve their energy reduction objectives in several ways:

  1. Reducing heating costs. Because Inditherm's CPT draws much less energy than competing technologies, it is an ideal weapon in the energy reduction armoury. Energy savings can often exceed 75% of traditional heating technologies (e.g., trace heating, hot water), leading not only to easier compliance with new legislation but also rapid returns on investment.
  2. Reducing energy wastage through improved insulation. Inditherm has significant expertise in providing insulation solutions to cover hot surfaces, either with its removable, insulated covers or with fixed insulation and cladding.
  3. Reducing carbon emissions. Many organisations use boilers to produce hot water, steam or other hot liquids for their process or facility heating. Using Inditherm heating may eliminate the need for a boiler altogether; for example in industrial process factories (food, chemicals, oil & gas), soccer pitches, or precast concrete plants.
