decreasing their value added. Successful, cost-effective investment into energy efficiency technologies and practices meets the challenge of maintaining the output of a high quality product while reducing production costs. This is especially important, as energy efficient technologies often include “additional” benefits, such as increasing the productivity of the company. Energy use is also a major source of emissions in the refinery industry, making energy efficiency improvement an attractive opportunity to reduce emissions and operating costs. Energy efficiency should be an important component of a company’s environmental strategy. End-of-pipe solutions can be expensive and inefficient while energy efficiency can be an inexpensive opportunity to reduce criteria and other pollutant emissions | LBNL-56183 Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Energy Efficiency Improvement and Cost Saving Opportunities For Petroleum Refineries An ENERGY STAR Guide for Energy and Plant Managers Ernst Worrell and Christina Galitsky Environmental Energy Technologies Division February 2005 Sponsored by the .
