SUSTAINABLE ENERGY WEEK 13-17 June 2016 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AS A NEW BUSINESS MODEL (II) ENERGYWATER PROJECT Ladies and Gentlemen First of all I would like to thank you the European Commission, the opportunity that has given us to present our project during the Sustainable Energy Week, I hope we are able to interest you in our project so much that you end up willing to participate. The Energywater project was funded under H2020-EE-2015-3-MarketUptake. The project started on February the 1stt and the duration of the action will be 36 months. So as you can imaging we are just giving our first steps towards what I will try to explain in my 10 min today.

ENERGYWATER OBJECTIVE The energywater Project aims to increase energy efficiency in industrial water processes in European manufacturing industry. WHY INDUSTRIAL WATER PROCESSES? Water treatment processes represent 20% of total energy consumption in the manufacturing industry consumption. Water management has increased considerably as a consequence of the implementation of new technologies to meet new legal requirements and effluent quality standards. Water and energy are inextricably linked with the water–energy nexus (energy consumption is directly connected to water uses.) The general Objective of the project is to Improve the competitiveness of the EU industrial sector by reducing 20% energy costs in industrial water processes. A total reduction of 26 GWh/year will be achieved at the end of the project by implementing energy efficiency measures in the European manufacturing companies. Why do we focus on water processes. Energy intensive industries are the major users of energy and so represent the main challenges to increasing energy efficiency in Europe. These industries represent a total share of 70% of industrial energy use. Identifying what are the common strategies across all sectors that improve energy efficiency is a major challenge, since each sector is different, and indeed companies even within a sector are designed to produce different items and their processes are often quite different. While these industrial sectors vary their water related processes are often quite similar. Most manufacturing companies manage water in one or several processes Heating and cooling, Potable water treatment, wastewater and sewage processes Water and energy are inextricably linked with the water–energy nexus. Water industrial processes represent a relatively high share of energy consumption in the manufacturing industry with an average of the 20% of total energy consumption also Water management has increased considerably as a consequence of the implementation of new technologies to meet new legal requirements and effluent quality standards. Since water management in companies is typically not a core activity, it is often neglected. Industries most affected by water consumption (and therefore energy consumption in water management processes) are those related to manufacturing. It has to be noted that SPIRE affirmed once that industrial water management is one of the main topics to improve energy efficiency.

BARRIERS FOR EFFECTIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT Does this provider tell me the truth? How does my installation work? Does this auditor understand my installation? Where could I get money from? Could I compare to others? Where do I get information from? Am I including up-to-date market technology ? Which are actually the barriers for an effective Energy Management in the enterprises? Why are they not implementing measures to become more energy efficient if there is a direct benefit for them? First not all the companies have real data on how their installation work sometimes when they are audited they do not trust the experts comming to their companies they do not believe an auditor will know the installation better than them or they do not believe in the objectives of the providers, is my instalation not updated?, does he need to sell me something?, is the technology he is trying to sell me up to date? Some other questions arise, where can I get information from, how could I compere to other similar companies?, and also very important where can I get the money from to do what I want to do?

? HOW CAN THESE BARRIERS BE OVERCOME? EMSA WEB-TOOL 1- By studying my own consumption for water processes 2- By gathering data on my energy efficiency by type of activity 3- By comparing these data, in a confidential way, with other similar enterprises (size, sector of production…) EMSA WEB-TOOL 4- By applying up-to-date technologies to reduce my consumption and by taking advice to an expert on Energy efficiency ENERGY ANGELS NETWORK The Energy water project has identify different working aims to overcome this barriers in an industry. The first step is to know which is the water processes consumption in my company, and gather those data by type of activiy, then the company will be prepare to Identify saving potentials and benchmark energy performance through an Energy Management Self-Assessment (EMSA) collaborative web-tool that will be created during the project. Manufacturing industries can anonymously introduce their data into the EMSA web-tool to know their ranking regarding other industries with the same processes. Then in order to prepare the ground for investment through information about potential savings a network of qualified and trained skilled energy managers (with technical and financial skill) will be created, The “Energy Angels” network They will provide support for the implementation and financing of water energy efficiency projects and will help the company to improve their energy performance in the industrial water processes with the use of the EMSA webtool containing benchmarking activities and a best practices guide based on real experience case studies.

EMSA WEB TOOL Lets explain a litlle bit more this two different tools.

“THE EMSA WEB-TOOL”: SELF ASSESSMENT WEB TOOL YOUR COMPANY SIMILAR COMPANIES LIST OF ENERGY ANGELS ITCL Cork Institute of Technologies Carbon Trust Socamex Okavango Cyprus Energy Agency International Office for Water BEST PRACTICE With the Creation of the EMSA web Tool we try to help the Industries understanding their performance and providing a way to compare to other similar companies and see examples of best practice. Once the company has detected the possibility of being more efficient he will have the opportunity of contacting with an Energy Angel. The tool will take into account some key aspects of each enterprise, geographical location, its sector or the kind of services in which it is interested since an Energy Angel can provide different services into the network; An icon terminology will be created to differentiate the scope of services each member is able to provide so the company can choose the most suitable for their needs.

ENERGY ANGELS NETWORK

Services provided by the Angels ENERGY ANGELS AIM An Energy Angel is an entity providing services related to energy efficiency In the context of the energywater project: Energy audits / water processes + EMSA web tool guidance Legal and administrative information Services provided by the Angels EMSA WEB TOOL Up-to-date technologies to save energy: dev. of strategies, to be linked to equipment suppliers Access to financial opportunities Use of different models of contracts for energy services Access to expertise (skilled auditors, ESCOs…) But what is an Energy Angel? Is an entity able to provide services related to energy efficiency to the companies, and which are those services? They will be able to perform Energy audits on the company performance or provide information to the company (initially) about their water process, they will be able to provide up-to date technologies to save energy , they will provide legal and administrative information and access to financial opportunities. They will provide these services through different models of contracts for their services. H2020-EE-2015-3 Market Uptake · Project nr: 696112 · Coordinator: ITCL

ENERGY ANGELS NETWORK Possible members TECHNOLOGY SUPLIERS Investors, funders EE SME RESEARCH CENTRES ENERGY MANAGERS ESCOS ENERGY AUDITORS Energy Angels network will be formed by: energy auditors, ESCOs, research centres working on energy efficiency solutions and any company providing energy efficiency services, such as technology suppliers. The network will improve the availability of skilled energy auditors from different entities under the same umbrella, provide access to key technology suppliers which have the required skills around energy efficiency, and improve the access to finance including ESCOs providing jointly energy efficiency and financial services. Membership to this network will be open for any entity offering energy efficiency services operating in Europe as well as fulfilling the requirements described in the Energy Angels’ user manual. The initial Energy Angels structure will be starting with 10 members (project consortium) and we hope it will end with more than 70. Beyond the project, the networks should keep adding new members and opening the energy efficiency services to other sectors (construction, transport, services, etc.) For the Energy Angels structure (regulation, membership, services description, etc.) an Internal document defining the structure of the network, the membership, and the roles and responsibilities of each component will be created.
