Introducing MAS Stephen Fountain Energy Strand Leader – MAS North East

Agenda >What is MAS? >National Programme Results >MAS North East Services >MAS North East Results >The typical journey >MAS NE Approach to energy management >Examples of opportunities identified

What is MAS? >Created in 2002 >Designed to give SMEs access to consulting services normally out of their financial reach >Primary remit is to help companies become more competitive through improvements in QCD

MAS in Numbers In the year ended in November 2009, MAS nationally: >Handled 12,200 enquires >Performed diagnostics in 6,000 companies >Went on to assist 2,700 of those companies >Generated £145m in increased GVA

MAS NE Services MAS North East has much wider remit than other regions!

MAS NE in Numbers Locally, MAS NE: >Worked with over 600 companies >Created GVA of over £30m >Identified potential energy reductions of over £8m >Equates to potential carbon savings of over 40,000 tonnes

MAS NE in Numbers £2.3m (29%) of energy reductions were within process industry clients >£1.5m from structured energy management >£0.8m from technical energy reduction

MAS NE Customer Journey Improved GVA Increased Skills Jobs created/safeguarded

MAS NE Approach >Structured Energy Management >Get commitment >Policy >Allocation of Resources >Responsibilities >Understand >Why do we use energy? >When do we use energy? >How much do we use? >What does it cost us?

MAS NE Approach >Structured Energy Management >Plan & Prioritise >Prioritise actions and set targets >Implement >No cost solutions >Low cost solutions >Investment solutions >Control & Monitor >Review and compare to initial benchmarks etc

1 st Stage - Diagnostic >Step 1 – Get commitment >Cultural review against perceived best practice >Step 2 - Understand >Analysis of available data >Physical review to identify opportunities >Challenge established practices

1 st Stage - Diagnostic >Step 3 - Plan & Prioritise >Prioritise findings based on expected impact Diagnostic fully subsidised to all NE Manufacturers!

1 st Stage – Diagnostic (alternative) >In addition to the energy review a MAS NE diagnostic can also be undertaken to:- >Carry out an initial assessment of renewable energy opportunities OR >Review water and waste usage OR >Carry out an EMS gap analysis (14001 etc) Diagnostic also fully subsidised to all NE Manufacturers! (can be and/or with energy review)

2 nd Stage – Further Support >Build on diagnostic >E.g. more detailed energy & resources map

Energy & Resources Map

2 nd Stage – Further Support >Implement >Design studies with cost benefit analysis >Implementation support to ensure benefits achieved >Energy champion training and cultural awareness >Control & Manage >Monitoring & Targeting system specification and implementation >Before and after calculations 2 nd stage partly funded by MAS NE

Examples of Opportunities >Typical Low Cost Opportunities identified:- >Background equipment left running >Set-points to cover all eventualities >Too many cooling water pumps running >Efficiency compromised for convenience >Energy inefficient behaviour >Utility wastage e.g. compressed air or steam >Etc

Examples of Opportunities >Typical Capital Opportunities identified:- >Heat recovery >Combined Heat & Power >Refrigeration upgrades >Lagging upgrades >Pumps and motors >Waste stream reuse options >Water usage reductions >Etc

Summary >MAS NE wider remit than other MAS >£2.3m potential energy savings in process industry clients >Structured approach to energy management >Fully subsidised diagnostics for energy & resource efficiency >Partly funded further support
