Be among the country’s first companies qualified to pursue ISO50001 certification.

DOE's Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is partnering with the U.S. Council for Energy-Efficient Manufacturing (U.S. CEEM), states, and regional teams to conduct energy management demonstrations to help companies achieve ambitious industrial energy intensity reduction goals through strategic energy management.

Companies participating in the demonstrations will test the elements of Superior Energy Performance,a forthcoming American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited energy management certification program currently under development.

In Pennsylvania, PennTAP will assist one manufacturing plant implement an energy management system to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs at a greatly reduced consulting rate (grant subsidized).

As a demonstration site, facilities receive training and support to:

  • Implement energy management strategies and the ANSI Management System for Energy (MSE) standard, ANSI/MSE 2000-2008, that lead to continuous energy efficiency and energy intensity improvement (precursor to the draft ISO 50000 standard)
  • Reduce energy and other operational costs and carbon emissions
  • Monitor and verify energy performance improvements

Alternative fuel use by the wood products industry could reduce the industry's dependence on fossil fuels and decrease its emissions. A new resource guide created by the Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program (PennTAP), the Penn State College of Engineering, and the Mid-Atlantic Clean Energy Applications Center (MACEAC) promotes the use of one such alternative fuel: combined heat and power (CHP). CHP, also known as cogeneration, is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat from a single fuel source -- in this case, on-site waste products such as sawdust, wood shavings or bark.

Pennsylvania manufacturers hoping to improve energy efficiency and cut down on the levels of carbon dioxide they emit can now get assistance from the Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program (PennTAP). PennTAP is part of Penn State Outreach, the largest unified outreach organization in American higher education. Businesses that apply must be in the manufacturing sector and spend at least $1 million a year on energy costs.
