Industries of the Future -West Virginia (iof-WV) is offering a symposium on November 19, 2008 on the subject of Energy Efficiency for WV Companies, and the agenda looks interesting. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 challenges U.S. companies to reduce their energy intensity (amount of energy used per unit of product produced) by at least 2.5% per year during the 10-year period from 2007 through 2016 - a 25% reduction over the next decade. The U.S. DOE’s Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is leading the charge by sponsoring industrial assessments, co-funding R&D projects, providing technical and financial assistance to companies, offering workshops and training on Best Practices software tools, and supporting implementation of advanced industrial technologies. These opportunities and programs will be discussed at the November 19 Symposium in Charleston and could provide some valuable insights into:
How energy-intensive companies are coping and surviving
Innovations in industrial energy efficiency – from the experts
First hand examples of how companies are saving energy and money with free energy assessments
Views from the WV Legislature on smart and efficient use of energy
How companies participate in large multi-year R&D projects
Climate change legislation being discussed in the U.S. Congress - and how it could impact WV industry
