Glass manufacturers reassess relationship with energy as costs rise

摘要

To shed further light on this important subject, Siemens recently undertook research into attitudes and approaches to energy management across the glass sector. The findings highlight how many glass manufacturing operations are now taking consumption responsibilities seriously as rising costs, compliance with the forthcoming Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), and supply pressures conspire to ensure energy remains a top business priority. Critically, the research also demonstrates that for those that have proactively taken strategic measures to improve their energy performance, evidence clearly points to tangible bottom line benefits. Today, no glass manufacturer is immune from the combination of rising energy costs and environmental responsibilities, as well as the impact regulatory compliance has on the effective day-to-day running of any organisation.
