Control Engineering reports that Cemex has been awarded the Energy Star Partner of the Year award for a second time. Cemex has been an Energy Star partner since 2004, and in 2009 saved more than 1.1. million MMBTU on energy, cutting an equivalent of 107,500 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
In a time of economic stress, Cemex, arguably under more financial pressure than many cement producers, continues to pursue Energy Star not because of government mandates to reduce emissions, but because it makes business sense. Energy Star provides a disciplined framework for companies to use to pursue energy and emission reductions that improve the bottom line rather than just imposing additional costs. BridgeGap Engineering has the expertise to help cement companies follow the Energy Star path in improved financial performance. Call us for more information and to schedule a power audit.
