NWFPA ENERGY GOALS & ROADMAP

ENERGY & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WORKSHOP FOR

FOOD PROCESSORS

Pamela Barrow, Energy Director

July 14, 2011

Megatrends

• Global Competition• Climate Change• Sustainability• Rising Energy Costs• Water Shortage• Increased Costs of Commodities and Raw

Product

Energy Efficiency Component

• Global Competitiveness– Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production

• Climate Change– Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production

• Sustainability– Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production

NWFPA Energy Vision

Enhanced productivity and competitiveness through a sustainable energy efficiency plan

Reduce member-wide energy intensity by 25% in 10 years and by 50% in 20 years

NWFPA Energy Goal

Key Points About the Goal• It is industry-wide not plant-specific• It is voluntary• It is a target• It is energy intensity not absolute energy

reductions• It is based on a best guesstimate• It was adopted by the NWFPA Board of

Directors in January 2009

The MOU

• February 2009• Pledge of support and

commitment to Goal• Signatories:

– NWFPA– USDOE– BPA– PNNL and INL

NWFPA Roadmap Workshop

• December 2008• Over 50 food

processors• Over 30 partners• Produced 500+ ideas• Vision and Roadmap

Workshops funded by NEEA and USDOE

Why a Goal & Roadmap?

• Coalesce industry and focus NWFPA energy efforts

• Enhance member competitiveness• Enhance funding opportunities• Attract partner participation and support• Public recognition for NWFPA & members• Influence regulators, legislators & policy-

makers

NWFPA Energy Roadmap

• Guides efforts to achieve the energy intensity reduction goals.

• Roadmap has two parts:– Association Roadmap– Roadmap for

Members

• Energy Intensity Baseline

• NPPCC 6th Power Plan Analysis

• Roadmap Development

• Energy Assessments & Mapping

• Access To Energy Data

Initial Roadmap Projects

Upcoming Events• Energy Committee Meeting – Sept 14

• NW Food Manufacturing &Packaging Expo and Conference – Jan 16 - 17

• 4th Annual Northwest Industrial Energy Efficiency Summit – Jan 18
