Energy Efficiency in Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee’s Industrial Pump Systems, 2014-2017 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Energy
Efficiency in Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee's Industrial Pump
Systems, 2014-2017" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

This report focuses on analyzing energy use, energy efficiency, and CO2
emissions-reduction potential in industrial pump systems in selected
East South Central U.S. States of Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We
have also published similar reports for industrial fan systems and
compressed air systems for these states.

One of the major barriers to effective policy making and increased
action by states and utilities to improve energy efficiency in
industrial pump systems is the lack of information and data on the
magnitude and cost-effectiveness of the energy savings potential in
industrial pump systems in each state. This lack of information creates
an obstacle to developing a comprehensive and effective strategy,
roadmap, and programs for improving pump systems efficiency
cost-effectively. It is far easier to quantify the incremental energy
savings of substituting an energy-efficient motor for a standard motor
than it is to quantify the energy conservation of applying other energy
efficiency and system optimization practices to an existing pump system.

The researchers conducted a large initiative to study industrial motor
systems in 30 states from different U.S. regions. This includes the top
20 U.S. states in terms of industrial energy consumption. We focused on
industrial pumps, pumps, and compressed-air systems which together
account for over 70% of electricity use in U.S. industrial motor systems.

Now that states have different programs to set targets, including
passing legislation to enact formal energy efficiency resource
standards, setting long-term energy savings targets through utility
commissions tailored to each utility, or incorporating energy efficiency
as an eligible resource in renewable portfolio standards (RPS),
investment in energy efficiency in industrial pump systems to tap into
the huge saving potentials quantified in this report can help utilities
to meet their targets, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and
thereby help with climate change mitigation.

Key analyses and results included:

• Electricity use by manufacturing subsector (NAICS code 31-33) in each
  state studied
• Electricity use for motor systems and pump systems by manufacturing
  subsector (NAICS code 31-33) in each state studied
• Electricity use by industrial pump systems by size in each state
  studied
• Market barriers to energy efficiency in industrial motor and pump
  systems
• Energy Efficiency Cost Curves for industrial pump systems for each
  state using eight major energy efficiency measures
• Energy saving potential and cost of conserved energy (US$/MWh-saved)
  for each efficiency measures in each state studied
• The cost-effective and total technical energy efficiency potential in
  industrial pump systems in each state studied
• Energy saving potential for each energy efficiency measure by system
  size
• GHG emissions reduction potential for each efficiency measure in each
  state
• Sensitivity of the results with respect to changes in electricity
  prices and discount rates
• Implications for markets, utilities, and policy makers
