Energy efficiency can be an important driver for the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. This presentation, introductory to the webinar "Energy efficiency implementation in industries: the EU-MERCI approach to good practices for multi-sector companies", shows the reasons why energy efficiency should not be considered just as a cost reduction through energy savings, but could provide much more benefits.
Towards resource efficiency with the help of IoT in the 4th industrial revolu...Dario Di Santo
Climate change requires manufacturing companies to change the way they do business, by re-thinking products and services. Resource efficiency will be a key to success, but an increased cooperation among different business functions is fundamental. Internet of things will be an important enabler and will help companies undergo such challenging transformation. The presentation illustrates some key points and the links with energy efficiency and energy management.

White certificates in industry at ECEEE conference - paperDario Di Santo
The document summarizes the Italian white certificate scheme, which aims to promote energy efficiency in industry. Some key points:
- The scheme has obligated energy distributors to meet annual energy savings targets since 2004. It allows companies to generate and trade white certificates representing energy savings.
- Over the last three years, 80% of white certificates came from industrial projects, showing the scheme's success in driving efficiency in that sector.
- Savings are quantified using different measurement and verification methods, including deemed, scaled, and metered savings. There has been a shift over time to more metered savings, where impacts are directly measured.
This document provides an overview of Total's strategy for integrating climate change considerations into its business plans and goals through 2035. It discusses Total's ambition to align with a 2 degree Celsius warming scenario, including increasing gas production and renewable energy to 20% of its portfolio. Total recognizes climate change as a major challenge and aims to help provide affordable energy while reducing emissions. The report outlines Total's strategic priorities of improving energy efficiency, optimizing its fossil fuel mix, and accelerating renewable energy development.

The document discusses heat recovery in industry. It notes that heat recovery can provide thermal energy for internal or external heating demands, or can be upgraded for uses like cooling or electricity generation. Effective heat recovery requires considering factors like the temperature and availability of waste heat sources, the technologies available, investment criteria, characteristics of potential heat users, and the location of heat sources and users. Heat recovery can support district heating for industries, buildings, and other sectors.
This document proposes a Natural Grid and Open Capital approach to achieve resilient Market 3.0. It discusses how Denmark achieved resource resilience through a Natural Grid policy focusing on least energy cost over time. This decentralized their energy system and led to energy security. It also proposes a prepay model for land and energy where consumers prepay for future access in exchange for an interest-free loan, aligning stakeholder interests sustainably over time. An Applecross Green Deal is outlined using this approach through an energy pool investing in community projects repaid via consumer energy prebuys.

Turkey - the powerhouse bridging east and west
Situated on the brink of Europe and the edge of Asia, Turkey has taken advantage of its strategic position while managing to avoid both the slump to its west and the strife to its east.
But its booming economy has led to an electricity demand that is growing at a rate second only to China's, and the country is currently importing 75% of its energy at a cost of € 60 billion per year.
Turkey is looking to wind energy to cut its import dependence, create employment and help its economy to keep expanding.

White certificates in Italy: lessons learnt over 12 years of evaluationDario Di Santo
Energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOs) are used in many EU countries as a policy measure to reach energy efficiency targets. Some of the first EEO (UK, Italy, France, Denmark) have been capable to reach positive results over the years, as shown by the ENSPOL and EPATEE projects.
The Italian mechanism, in particular, is an interesting example of white certificate scheme (WhC), since it is one of the most long-lasting schemes (operatively started in 2005), has ambitious targets, covers all sectors and energy efficiency solutions, and has many flexibility options in place (e.g. non-obliged parties, tradable market, bankability, etc.).
Another point of interest is WhC development over the years. In the first phase, most of the projects were related to buildings with deemed savings as energy savings assessment method. Then the industrial sector rose constantly, till covering 80% of the savings in 2014, mostly assessed through metered savings procedures. In the last three years deemed savings procedures have started to recover, while metered savings have remained the most used energy savings evaluation procedure. This last development was not expected and is mainly due to some regulatory decision and to the modification of the assessment of additionality for many industrial projects categories, due to the diffusion of certain energy efficiency solutions and to changes in the methodological approach.
The presentation, based on a paper presented at the IEPPEC conference in Vienna, illustrates the issues that have arisen over the recent years, and the decisions taken to address them through a major redesign of the Italian scheme that has been introduced with new ministerial guidelines in 2017: many aspects – such as targets, baseline and additionality, saving assessment, and measurement, verification and control procedures – has been deeply affected. The presentation will cover such themes under an evaluation point of view, highlighting the savings achieved with respect to the national targets, how indicators like additional energy savings, costs, and employment have evolved over time, the role of the involved stakeholders (utilities, ESCOs, end-users, etc.), and the effects of tight verification and control procedures.
White certificates: news and opportunities after 2018 reviewDario Di Santo
D.M. 10 maggio 2018 introduced some important modification to the guidelines of the Italian white certificate scheme, mostly to deal with issues such as the lack of certificates to fulfil the targets and the excessive rigid rules introduced in 2017 to present new energy efficiency projects. The presentation shows the main changes and some results in terms of issued certificates and prices and summarises some hints on the future of the scheme.
Selling solar services as a contribution to a circular economyJudit Urquijo
The solar services sector sells the service of providing the use of solar electricity to its customer instead of selling solar PV systems (the product). This new business model can be seen as a radical innovation for the solar sector – as it is in other sectors. It is particularly interesting from the perspective of systemic eco- nnovation fostering a carbon-free and circular economy.
Solving the finance conundrum affecting innovative renewable energy technologiesNuno Quental
The document discusses various funding mechanisms that support the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies in Europe. It outlines several EU-level funds and initiatives, including the European Investment Bank, Cohesion Fund, NER 300, Horizon 2020, and Connecting Europe Facility. It also discusses how these funds support priorities of the EU's Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) to accelerate the deployment of low-carbon technologies.
ELENA assistance case study - Pool Engineering S.r.lMarina Turcati
Marina Turcati presented on factors affecting public procurement practice for energy efficiency services in Italy. She discussed three key points:
1) The ELENA technical assistance facility has been implemented in several Italian cities including Milan, Chieti, and Padua to help structure and finance energy efficiency projects.
2) A methodology for meeting energy efficiency targets includes stakeholder consultations, identifying barriers, developing small initial procurements, and institutionalizing systems for long-term impact.
3) Initiatives like the Covenant of Mayors and ELENA program provide frameworks, financing, and technical support to help public authorities overcome barriers and implement energy efficiency projects at local and regional levels.
White certificates as a tool to promote energy efficiency in industryDario Di Santo
Energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOs) are used in many EU countries as a policy measure to reach energy efficiency targets. Some of the first EEOs (UK, Italy, France, Denmark) have been capable to reach positive results over the years, as clearly demonstrated by the ENSPOL project. The Italian mechanism, in particular, is an interesting example of white certificate scheme (WhC), since it is one of the most long-lasting schemes (operatively started in 2005), has ambitious targets, covers all sectors and energy efficiency solutions, and has many flexibility options in place (e.g. non-obliged parties, tradable market, bankability, etc.).

In the last three years, the buildings sector has started to recover, while metered savings have remained the most used energy savings evaluation procedure. This last development is mainly due to some regulatory decision and to the modification of the assessment of additionality for many industrial projects categories.
The paper will illustrate the reasons behind these developments, the issues that have arisen over the recent years, and the decisions taken to address them through a major redesign of
the Italian scheme that has been introduced with new ministerial guidelines in 2017: many aspects – such as targets, base-line and additionality, saving assessment, and measurement, verification and control procedures – has been deeply affected. The presentation related to the paper presented at eceee industrial conference, covers such themes, focusing in particular on the industrial side and highlighting themes like cost effectiveness, energy savings assessment, and how baseline and additionality have been dealt with over the years.
The first version of the O&M Guidelines was published in 2016 to address service quality issues in solar O&M.

Efficienza e generazione distribuita: l'era dei prosumerDario Di Santo
Nei prossimi anni i consumatori avranno sempre più opportunità di divenire anche produttori. Si apre dunque una nuova era per l'autoconsumo. Per coglierne i benefici occorrono però politiche ben costruite e scelte razionali da parte degli investitori. E un principio fondamentale: energy efficiency first.
Fotovoltaico: considerazioni e prospettiveDario Di Santo
Per il fotovoltaico è attesa nel prossimo decennio una crescita tumultuosa nel nostro Paese. Diversi elementi al contorno incideranno comunque sui risultati effettivi, sia in senso positivo che negativo. Nella presentazione provo a sintetizzarli.
Il rapporto sugli energy manager relativo alle nomine effettuate nel 2018 evidenzia un'ulteriore crescita di questa figura sia da parte dei soggetti obbligati alla nomina dalla legge 10/1991, sia da parte di quelli volontari. La presentazione illustra anche i risultati di un'indagine FIRE sulle diagnosi energetiche obbligatorie.

Alcune considerazioni sugli obiettivi per l'efficienza energetica al 2030Dario Di Santo
Gli obiettivi al 2030 per l'efficienza energetica non saranno facili da raggiungere, né quello sui consumi finali, né quello sulle politiche attive. Nell'intervento introduttivo alla conferenza Enermanagement ho voluto fare quattro considerazioni al riguardo, cercando di cogliere alcuni elementi di fondo e alcune trasformazioni fondamentali per cogliere le opportunità che abbiamo di fronte e contrastare efficacemente i cambiamenti climatici.
Il ruolo del fotovoltaico: situazione e prospettiveDario Di Santo
Presentazione introduttiva a un webinar organizzato da FIRE con Centrica che mostra i principali dati relativi alla penetrazione del fotovoltaico a livello internazionale e nazionale, gli obiettivi al 2030 inseriti nella proposta di Piano nazionale integrato per l'energia e il clima, i numeri relativi ai sistemi semplici di produzione e consumo e allo scambio sul posto, e le performance economiche in termini di LCOE.
Incentivi per l'efficienza energetica e la cogenerazioneDario Di Santo
La presentazione sintetizza gli incentivi disponibili per l'efficienza energetica, con un focus sulla cogenerazione ad alto rendimento, con alcune considerazione per affrontare un mercato in forte trasformazione.
Il pacchetto clima energia: cosa attendersi per l'efficienza energeticaDario Di Santo
La presentazione affronta le novità introdotte dal Pacchetto Clima-Energia al 2030 e alcune trasformazioni attese nel mercato, in particolare la crescita dei prosumer (consumatori-produttori di energia) e la necessità di intervenire in settori più complessi (edifici e trasporti). Sono inoltre accennate alcune azioni di FIRE per facilitare questa transizione.
Finanziare l'efficienza energetica nell'industriaDario Di Santo
Gli obiettivi introdotti dal Pacchetto Energia Clima al 2030 richiedono investimenti addizionali consistenti, nonché un'azione allargata anche alle PMI e a edifici e trasporti. Tutto questo richiede una maggiore disponibilità di risorse di terzi per finanziare gli interventi, oltreché una maggiore comprensione del legame fra efficienza energetica e competitività. Nella presentazione è illustrato l'approccio di ESI Europe (contratto a prestazioni garantite, validazione di terzi, assicurazione sui risparmi energetici).
L'energy manager nella pubblica amministrazioneDario Di Santo
L'energy manager è una figura fondamentale negli enti per assicurare una gestione razionale dell'energia, ma soprattutto per cogliere benefici in termini di immagine, sostenibilità, condizioni dei dipendenti, sicurezza. Le azioni di riqualificazione energetica possono inoltre migliorare le performance
Lo schema dei certificati bianchi è caratterizzato da complessità proprie di un sistema di obbligo unito a un mercato. Riuscire a calibrare domanda e offerta è uno dei requisiti più difficili da soddisfare. La presentazione illustra i risultati di un'indagine FIRE su problemi e proposte di soluzione e mostra come ci sia una buona fiducia nella ripresa dello schema.
Efficienza energetica negli edifici alla luce delle nuove direttiveDario Di Santo
Negli ultimi mesi sono state pubblicate le nuove direttive sulla prestazione energetica degli edifici, sull'efficienza energetica e sulle fonti rinnovabili. La presentazione ne riassume i punti fondamentali, insieme alle principali sfide legate alla riqualificazione energetica degli edifici.
Aggiornamento sui certificati bianchi come presentato all'incontro presso Federchimica. Oltre allo schema generale viene ricordata anche la misura dedicata alla cogenerazione ad alto rendimento (CAR).

invest in it?

Most would say: energy saving!
Don’t know… But
energy efficiency is
cool!
Ghhgghh
Turn off lights!
Turn off those
damned LEDs that
keep me awake!
Haul aft and
chase the wind,
sailor!
Reduce energy
consumption!
But
everyone
has got his
own ideas…
7. This project has received funding from the
European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under grant agreement N°
693845
Energy saving is just one of the pieces…
Avoid energy waste,
adopt best technologies,
use renewables, recover
heat losses…
Energy efficiency good practices allow
to collect many benefits.
These benefits are tangible even with
low energy prices (at least in absolute
terms) and can affect production
margins.
As shown by the energy diagnoses
made in connection with the EED
directive, there are many
opportunities to intervene…
… yet many projects remain in the
drawer.
One of the reasons is that energy
saving alone is not attractive enough!

… and unwanted effects too, obviously!
Luke, follow me,
and I will show you
the rebound
effect…
Energy efficiency doesn’t carry only benefits.
The negative effects in fact mirror the positive
ones: depending on the situation one can
obtain either a benefit or a loss (e.g. usually
energy efficiency projects imply a reduction of
maintenance costs, but sometimes it can be
the opposite).
Assessing the magnitude of these risks and
mitigation strategies will overcome one of the
main problems of energy efficiency: to be
perceived as distant, complex, and possible
source of problems.

Energy efficiency: a powerful ally
Energy manager,
may the Force be
with you!
Over time, energy management will increasingly be
linked to sustainability and efficient management
of all resources:
energy;
water;
materials;
emissions;
waste.
Energy needs to be linked to the quantity of raw
materials used in the process, emissions, and
production, trying to assess how a resource
efficient management can improve profits by
reducing costs and/or increasing production.
The vision of energy management must extend
over time beyond the physical boundaries of the
company and rely on collaboration with the other
functions dealing with the core
business and sustainability.
