We could save the equivalent of 40% of all car based CO2
This initiative is intended to persuade the Boards of Directors of companies with more than 250 employees to adopt an investment policy which will contain some or all of the following:-
A sample of such a policy can be accessed here and can be amended to meet the need of any organisation. It can be considered as freeware and can be printed onto any company headed paper.
By way of example only, at the time of writing, it might be possible to save the equivalent of the CO2 emissions (CO2eq) of approximately
and in many cases get a return on investment of less than 2 years.The savings can be achieved using existing energy saving technology some of which has been known for and been in use in a very small number of applications, but for more than 30 years. The evaluation of potential car CO2eq eliminations started in November 2019 and is ongoing. We therefore expect the
The objective of this study is to estimate the potential energy savings which could be achieved through improving the efficiency of mechanical seal solutions utilised on plants around the globe.
This energy saving is expressed as a total of the number equivalent to an average car's annual CO2 emissions.
A global calculation is done for each industry considered, estimating the number of pieces of rotating equipment on an individual site/plant, then the number of specific sealing applications, the total utilisation of those pieces of equipment, expressed in hours and the total number of plants globally.
The model consists of the following calculations subject to the nature of the application studied and the available researched equivalent CO2 conversion factors for the fluids considered.
Total (Approx) 341 million cars CO2 eq
*Mechanical Packing is used in all industries. In some regions or countries it is almost never used, yet in another region or country in the same industry it is in widespread use.
The following assumptions have been made....
