Challenges inEnergy efficiency



20/11/15 3

Global energy transition is underway

!

The International Energy Agency (IEA) haslaunched its 2015 World Energy Outlook.

! Renewables contributed almost half of the

world's new power generation capacity in2014 and have already become the second-

largest source of electricity (after coal). Thecoverage of mandatory energy efficiency

regulation has expanded to more than one-

quarter of global energy consumption.

! All adopt more energy efficient technologies,

although a prolonged period of lower oil prices

could undercut this crucial pillar of the energytransition; diminished incentives and longer

payback periods mean that 15% of the

energy savings are lost in a low oil pricescenario.

Potential in Energy efficiency

! Much has been done mainly by the large energy intensiveindustries but untapped potential for EE remains huge.

20/11/15 6

Challenges related to energy efficiency in industry

! Low oil prices

! No interest in investments in energy efficiency due to low cost of energy

! Experts

!

Lack of critical skills of most value for the industry

!

Systemic thinking!

Regional and cluster approach requires collaboration accross different

sectors and actors

! Manufacturing industry

!

A lot of SMEs in manufacturing industry. SMEs have limited capacity to

either initiate innovative R&D or take up available solutions

!

Political environment

!

Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU)



20/11/15 7

Opportunities from climate change to value creation

!

Energy efficiency – a "two fold" perspective

!

Governments, NGOs, IEA etc!

! Reduced environmental impact

!

Incentives, CO2 tax, NOx tax, ETS!

! Industry!

! Reduced cost through reduced energy

consumption

!

Higher output for the same input

A saved kW is

a good kW!

A kW giving 2 kg

food is better

than a kW giving

1 kg food!



European Union

EU 2020 Energy Strategy

!

By 2020, the EU aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions

by at least 20%, increase the share of renewable energy to at

least 20% of consumption, and achieve energy savings of 20%

or more. All EU countries must also achieve a 10% share of

renewable energy in their transport sector.

20/11/15 10

EU 2030 Energy Strategy

!

a 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990

levels

!

at least a 27% share of renewable energy consumption

!

at least 27% energy savings compared with the business-as-

usual scenario




20/11/15 11

Energy efficiency measures at the Member State

level in EU

!

National Energy Efficiency

Action Plans set out estimated

energy consumption, planned

energy efficiency measures

and the improvements

individual EU countries expect

to achieve. Under the Energy

Efficiency Directive (2012/27/

EU), EU countries must draw

up these plans every three

years.




20/11/15 12

Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU)

New national measures have to ensure major energy savings for consumers and industry

alike. For example:

!

energy distributors or retail energy sales companies have to achieve 1.5% energy

savings per year through the implementation of energy efficiency measures

!

EU countries can opt to achieve the same level of savings through other means such as

improving the efficiency of heating systems, installing double glazed windows or

insulating roofs!

the public sector in EU countries should purchase energy efficient buildings, products

and services

!

every year, EU governments will carry out energy efficient renovations on at least 3% of

the buildings they own and occupy by floor area

!

empowering energy consumers to better manage consumption. This includes easy and

free access to data on consumption through individual metering

!

national incentives for SMEs to undergo energy audits

!

large companies will make audits of their energy consumption to help them identify ways

to reduce it

!

monitoring efficiency levels in new energy generation capacities

Voluntary Energy Efficiency Agreements

generate significant savings in Finland

!

The aim of the agreements is to systematically guide companies andcommunities to become more energy-efficient.

! The principle of continuous improvement is a key element of all the agreements.The companies and communities that have joined the agreement scheme set their

own targets for improving their energy use, implement the measures necessary to

reach them, and report annually on the realisation of the energy efficiencymeasures and other activities aimed at its improvement.

!

An important aim of the agreement scheme in e.g. industry, energy and private

service sector as well as municipal sector agreements is also to further thedeployment of new energy-efficient technologies and services. The

government subsidises energy audits and analyses for companies andcommunities that have signed up to the agreements, as well as energy efficiencyinvestments and deployment of new energy-efficient technology on a case-for-

case assessment basis.

How to work with us

Together towards

bigger challenges

For your company

exclusively

When you need support for your company’s R&D process, weoffer you confidential contract

research projects. The targetsare set by you and projects are

planned in cooperation.

The projects are started fast

and delivered efficiently. You willown the results.

When a group of companieshave a shared interest, we cansupport in creating the suitable

consortia and provide the R&Dresources and the research

infrastructure needed.

Projects can be privately funded

but they can also include publicfunding.

Look to the

future with us

When companies are interested indeveloping and enhancing newcompetencies and technologies,

we offer a solid network ofuniversities, research institutes and

companies in various public-funded programmes (e.g. EUresearch programmes).

Programmes are typically multi-

national and cross-scientific and

their timeframe is long. Results ofthe public-funded programmes are

open for publicity.

Customer: Rautaruukki Oyj

Challenge: How to improve the efficiency of the tandem cold mill to

produce high quality products cost-effectively. Sheet metal industry

customers require good strip dimensions accuracy and uniformity of

the mechanical properties. The manufacturing of over 10,000 different

steel grade/dimension combinations puts a lot of pressure on the rolling

process.

Solution: VTT and Rautaruukki have created a virtual quality system to monitor and analyse

the production process. The system uses virtual sensors and models to calculate quality

features based on process information and analysed history data. The intelligent virtual-sensor

technology is developed for estimating hard-to-measure variables. Automation system is

continuously updated after analysis to achieve the required quality.

Key benefits:

! Continuous improvement of the setup models and process in terms of the tandem cold mill

rolling process.

Continuous improvement of production process

with virtual rolling quality system



20/11/15 32

Customer: Jeven Oy

Challenge: How to improve the efficiency of fat removal filters.

Solution: Jointly developed filter solution which efficiency is based

on a rotating filter patented by VTT. Rotating separation plate is

treated with nanotechnology-based coating, repelling dirt and fat.

The solution practically eliminates the need to clean the fat removal

filter and significantly enhances the filter’s ability to do its job compared

to current technology.

Key benefits:

! New efficient filter solution which is easy and fast to clean, leading to cost and energy

savings.

!

New filter technology which can be applied to several industries such as machinery.

"The filter solution we developed together with VTT is extremely important for our

company. Solution as significant as this happens only once in a professional's career.“ –

Seppo Vartiainen, Managing Director, Jeven Oy
