Role of the Institute for Industrial
Productivity
The Institute for Industrial Productivity (IIP) maintains a
network of policy, technology, and finance experts to identify,
analyze, and share best practices, tools, and information
that can boost the effectiveness of government and industry
efforts to significantly reduce industrial energy intensity and
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while improving productivity.
Energy use and CO 2
emissions will almost
double by 2050 if current trends persist. This
would put the world on the path towards a 6 ° C
rise in average global temperature.
IEA, Energy Technology Perspectives, 2012
Urgent Situation
Industrial activities today account for nearly a third of global energy demand and almost 40%
of carbon dioxide (CO 2
) emissions. Rapidly growing economies are expected to significantly
increase industrial energy demand through 2030. Given the attendant risks to climate, energy
security, and business, governments and industry have gained a renewed respect for the many
economically attractive ways to simply decrease industrial demand for energy.
Making more efficient use of the energy we have today—eliminating waste and doing more
with less—offers the cheapest and most immediate route to improve energy security and
avoid harmful emissions.
Industrial Direct CO 2
Emissions by Region
Converging factors make this a critical time to
refocus global efforts on increasing industrial
energy productivity and sustainable production
worldwide:
• Rising demand for global resources
• New capital investments
• Industrialization of emerging countries
• Climate change
Source: IEA, Energy Technology Transitions for Industry, 2009.
* Assumes global enery-related CO 2
emissions in
2050 will be half of 2005 levels.
To address this urgent need, IIP provides specialized expertise in the policies, programs,
financing, and technologies required to accelerate reductions in the intensity of industrial
energy use and carbon emissions in key regions around the globe.

IIP Vision for Industry
By 2020, advanced technologies and
energy management practices will be in
broad use across industry—significantly
reducing life-cycle process and product
energy requirements; usage intensities
for energy, water, and other resources;
and associated carbon emissions. This
industrial culture change will energize
economic growth and help mitigate severe
climate impacts. Supportive government
policies and a public-private network for
sharing best practices and results will
reduce carbon intensity and encourage
greener manufacturing.
By 2030, the industrial sector will
make rigorous use of a wide range of
smart manufacturing practices such
as innovative materials and processes,
automation and control systems, cradleto-cradle
design, full cost accounting,
industrial ecology principles, and carbon
mitigation strategies. These practices will
further boost industrial productivity and
significantly lower the carbon intensities of
energy and materials use while providing
sustainable solutions to the global energy
economy.
By 2050, industrial hubs will
be models of green industry,
demonstrating integrated, optimized,
networked, next-generation systems to
minimize carbon intensity throughout
the supply chain (e.g., closed-loop
manufacturing systems with near-zero
discharge). Significant use of renewable
energy sources, highly efficient
manufacturing processes, recycling,
and carbon capture and re-use will
enable high-quality industrial products
with minimal embodied energy and lost
carbon.
IIP Goals
IIP activities are designed to achieve two overarching goals:*
••
Drive a reduction in industrial energy intensity averaging 3.5% per year through 2030 in
China, India, and the United States through 2030.
••
Contribute to a 25% reduction in annual GHG emissions by 2020 (avoiding 2.0 GtCO 2
per year) and a 50% reduction by 2030 (avoiding 2.7 GtCO 2
per year) in the industrial
sectors of these countries.

* Basis of goals: Reaching the aggressive yet achievable IIP goal of reducing energy intensity 3.5% per year compared to
baseline projections would provide a 25% decrease in industrial final energy use and emissions in 2020, compared to
baseline projections. Achieving a 50% reduction in industrial GHG emissions by 2030 will require emissions reductions
beyond the 3.5% annual improvement in energy intensity relative to baseline projections. These reductions are most likely to
be achieved through fuel switching (including low-carbon electrification) and limited application of industrial carbon capture,
storage, and reuse.

Energy Management System (EnMS)
An EnMS is a systematic approach to
monitoring, controlling, and saving energy
in an industrial facility to achieve continual
improvement in energy efficiency, productivity,
and cost-effective operation. This approach
involves setting energy goals, policies, and
targets; developing baselines of energy use
and identifying energy performance indicators;
assessing opportunities; establishing plans;
and periodically reporting progress.
Sector- and Country-Specific Resources
A database containing technical best practices
is being developed specifically for IIP’s sectors
of interest, such as iron and steel and cement.

IIP Strategy in China
Country snapshot: China has emerged as a leader in world manufacturing output and
consumes approximately 30% of global industrial energy. Rapid urbanization and an influx
of investment from state-owned and multinational firms fueled rapid growth in China’s
manufacturing sector over the past decade. To raise incomes and social benefits for all citizens,
China’s 12th Five Year Plan now seeks a more balanced growth structure—moderating GDP
growth and shifting emphasis from export-led growth toward increased domestic consumption.
Policy initiatives target increased industrial energy efficiency and wider use of non-fossil fuels.
These initiatives are compelling old, inefficient plants to be closed, upgraded, or replaced
with more energy-efficient practices and technologies across China’s most energy-intensive
industries, including iron and steel, petrochemicals, and cement.
Goal: Drive a 3.5% annual reduction in energy intensity in at least 15,000
companies in key industries through 2020.
Government
IIP will build linkages with China’s national,
regional, and provincial governments to support
policy development and create policy incentives
for broad industry adoption of energy systems
optimization (ESO) and energy management
systems (EnMS). Activities will include monitoring
and evaluating implementation efforts, conducting
pilot demonstration projects, and facilitating
achievement of national energy goals. IIP will
partner with the China Sustainable Energy Program
(CSEP), the National Development and Reform
Commission (NDRC), and the Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology (MIIT) to target key
energy-intensive industries and provinces.
Resource Materials and Networking
Industry
IIP will develop a robust network providing tools,
methodologies, and other resources to help
China’s industrial companies lower their energy
intensity. IIP will develop business cases and
incentives, increase energy management capacity,
provide frameworks for informed discussion, and
help demonstrate successful use of energy best
practices in key industries (including chemicals,
cement, and iron and steel). IIP will assist in the
design, implementation, and evaluation of energy
performance demonstrations by industry partners
and document the results in case studies. These
efforts will help China reach its target goals for
its Top 10,000 Enterprises, Top Runner, and 100
Energy Efficiency Standards programs.
To support China’s industrial energy policies, IIP will conduct demonstrations and help to identify, develop, and
deliver a robust portfolio of materials. IIP will work with CSEP to further develop partnerships with NDRC, MIIT,
the China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS), the Center for Industrial Energy Efficiency (CIEE), Shanxi
and Shandong provinces, key industry associations, and companies in the target industries.
Representative Activities: 2012 -2013 Representative Activities: 2014-2015
Work with Shanxi and Shandong provinces to
implement pilot energy management programs.
Scale up pilot energy management programs for
adoption by China’s Top 10,000 enterprises.
Top 10,000 Enterprises Program
This program aims to save 250 million tonnes
of coal equivalent (tce) by 2015 in the roughly
15,000 enterprises that collectively use
about 60% of China’s energy. Specific energy
savings targets are set for all enterprises that
use more than 10,000 tce and designated
others that use more than 5,000 tce annually.
Each must set up an energy management
system, establish benchmarks, and conduct
energy audits, among other activities.
http://iepd.iipnetwork.org/policy/top-10000-
energy-consuming-enterprises-program
Top Runner Program
By 2015, the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology (MIIT) aims to bring
all enterprises in China’s petrochemical, iron
and steel, and cement industries up to the level
of energy efficiency practiced by the current
top performers in each industry. In June
2012, MIIT identified the top petrochemical
performers for 10 products. If the rest of
China’s petrochemical producers match the
top runners, they could collectively save an
estimated 21 million tce annually by 2015.
100 Energy Efficiency Standards Program
This program aims to review existing standards in
terms of domestic and international best practices
and introduce 100 new or revised standards over
the next two years. Launched in 2012 by the
National Development and Reform Commission
(NDRC), General Administration of Quality
Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ),
and Standardization Administration of China
(SAC), the program presents an opportunity to
establish an enduring system to enforce industrial
energy standards.
Publish best practices summaries for facilities in the
petrochemical industry participating in the Top Runner
Program.
Continue technical support for the 100 Standards
Program: develop implementation guidelines for EnMS
in steel and cement and for ESO in steel and refining;
energy standards for energy-intensive products.
Develop plan to introduce energy efficiency
technologies in key chemical furnaces (kilns).
Pilot energy management practices in the cement,
petrochemical, and steel industries.
Develop ESO case studies for the iron and steel industry.
Establish ESO and EnMS Knowledge Exchange.
Work with financial institutions to improve practices
and conduct pilot demonstrations of innovative
financing options for energy efficiency projects.
Promote implementation of ESO standards in the iron
and steel and oil refining industries.
Develop implementation guidelines for EnMS in eight
additional sectors.
Disseminate measurement and verification protocols
for energy management.
Identify cement industry best practices and case studies.
Extend Knowledge Exchange Platform.
Energy Systems Optimization
While energy-efficient components can
provide efficiency gains of 2% to 5%,
optimizing energy use at the systems level
can deliver average efficiency gains of 20%
to 30% within a payback period of two
years or less. System design and operational
practices must be re-evaluated and optimized
periodically with changes in equipment and
production patterns.

IIP Strategy in India
Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT)
In 2011, India introduced the market-based
trading scheme Perform, Achieve, and Trade
(PAT) to increase the cost effectiveness
of energy efficiency improvements. 478
enterprises in nine energy-intensive sectors
(including power, iron and steel, cement, pulp
and paper, and fertilizer) are required to reduce
their energy costs by target amounts by 2014.
Upon certification, companies exceeding
their targets may accrue business benefits
by trading their certificates; companies that
do not meet their targets will either buy
certificates or pay a penalty.
MSMEs
Micro, small, and medium enterprises
(MSMEs) often possess significant
opportunities for improving their energy
efficiency, yet they lack the needed expertise
and financial resources. A range of strategies
can help these businesses capitalize on
opportunities to gain a competitive edge.
Carefully designed interventions can
substantially mitigate CO 2
emissions as well as
deliver diverse co-benefits.
Country snapshot: Despite considerable progress, the energy intensity of India’s industrial
sector remains relatively high. Energy performance varies widely within the subsectors
due to the wide range in plant vintage, production capacity, level of technology, quality
of raw materials, and product mixes. In the cement and fertilizer sectors, for example,
India has some of the best-performing plants in the world. This high bandwidth in energy
efficiency poses a challenge to policy makers in designing effective and targeted policies.
The Energy Conservation Act (ECA) of 2001 established the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE), set up energy efficiency standards by product/process, required energy audits by
an accredited auditor, and made certified energy managers mandatory in energy-intensive
industries. In 2011, the government launched its ambitious Perform, Achieve, and Trade
(PAT) scheme, which combines regulation with a flexible market mechanism. In addition
to the energy-intensive sectors covered under PAT, micro, small, and medium enterprises
(MSMEs) constitute another significant industry segment with many energy-intensive subsectors
in which the cost of energy forms a sizeable share of total production costs. These
MSMEs represent a tremendous opportunity to improve energy efficiency and mitigate
GHG emissions through technology upgrades, modernization, and adoption of better energy
management practices.
Goal: Drive a 3.5% annual reduction in energy intensity in India’s energy-intensive
industries through 2020.
Government
IIP will engage with BEE and other relevant
government agencies, banks, regulators, and
utilities to evolve an environment conducive to
the success of India’s PAT initiative. IIP activities
will similarly pave the way for increased use of
alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) in
energy-intensive industries, such as cement,
and will facilitate development of policies that
complement effective implementation of PAT. IIP
will also provide informational resources to support
BEE’s efforts to promote energy efficiency across
the MSME sector.
Industry
IIP will work with industry associations, selected
industrial clusters, and large corporate groups and their
suppliers to build technical capacity, provide essential
tools, and promote implementation of industrial energy
efficiency best practices. These efforts will focus on:
(1) developing the major industry associations
as change agents, (2) demonstrating intelligent
bundling of medium-scale projects, (3) creating
knowledge exchange platforms on energy themes,
(4) piloting a greening of the supply chain, and (5)
developing effective, easy-to-use tools to help industry
continuously improve energy performance.
Resource Materials and Networking
IIP will develop databases, specialized assessment tools, best practice guides, and case studies to expand industry awareness of
and capacity to implement energy-saving measures. IIP will provide expert policy guidance, hold conferences on topics of critical
interest, and create specialized knowledge exchange platforms.
Representative Activities: 2012 -2013 Representative Activities: 2014-2015

IIP Strategy in the United States
Country snapshot: The United States consumes nearly 11% of the world’s industrial energy
(IEA 2012) and offers substantial potential for efficiency improvements. The continuing
economic recovery is stimulating demand for industrial products and attracting new
investment in manufacturing capacity and infrastructure. These trends, in combination with
low natural gas prices (helped by the development of new shale gas resources), could signal
a healthy growth in U.S. manufacturing capacity, including the energy-intensive chemicals,
fertilizer, cement, and iron and steel industries. State-of-the-art technologies and energy
management practices can substantially reduce the energy intensity of U.S. production.
Goal: Drive a 3.5% annual reduction in energy intensity in key energy-intensive
industries through 2020.
Government
Industry
Superior Energy Performance
This U.S. certification program will be launched
in 2013 to provide industrial facilities with
a roadmap for continually improving energy
efficiency while maintaining competitiveness.
The program will set up a globally accepted
system for verifying the energy management
practices, performance improvements, and
savings that accrue through use of the ISO
50001 energy management standard.
http://iepd.iipnetwork.org/policy/superiorenergy-performance
At the Federal level, IIP pursues opportunities to
assist in developing decision tools and training
materials on energy best practices and in delivering
them to key industry groups. Products address
systems approaches for energy management and
energy system optimization. The President’s August
2012 Executive Order promoting industrial energy
efficiency, in combination with new opportunities
at the regional and state levels, could drive new
policies and programs. To support the Executive
Order, IIP will partner with the Energy Foundation
and work with key states, regions, utilities, and
regulatory groups to identify and implement policies
that foster energy efficiency and address financial,
regulatory, and institutional barriers.
To lower industrial energy intensity, IIP will
develop a network for providing tools, training,
and technical and financial assistance to
energy-intensive industries (initially chemicals,
cement, and iron and steel). Efforts will focus on
key elements of energy management systems,
including developing goals and targets, baselining,
benchmarking, plant assessments, portfolio
management, and implementation strategies. This
work will entail direct engagement with industry
and trade groups through workshops, on-line
webinars, databases, and the development and
adaptation of tools and information materials.
Boiler MACT
Forthcoming revisions to the Clean Air Act
include a new U.S. emissions standard to
reduce hazardous air pollutants emitted
by industrial boilers and process heaters.
Boiler MACT (maximum available control
technology), as it is known, could affect more
than 1,500 units when it goes into effect
in 2016. Combined heat and power (CHP)
technology is seen as a leading compliance
strategy for some operations.
Resource Materials and Networking
To support work with government and industry, IIP will help to identify, develop, adapt, and deliver a robust
portfolio of materials. These resources will include policy databases, supporting measures and tools for
implementation, technical and financial databases, and information on important technical resources, programs,
training materials, and publications from the United States and around the world. IIP will establish and nurture
partnerships with key U.S. groups, including the ACEEE, Alliance to Save Energy, U.S. Commerce and Energy
Departments, Environmental Protection Agency, National Association of State Energy Offices, regional energy
efficiency organizations, and state and utility energy programs.
Representative Activities: 2012 -2013 Representative Activities: 2014-2015

financial, and policy experts that can develop an
integrated, system-wide approach to substantially
reducing industrial energy intensity.
Revise and expand databases, software suites, training
materials, and information products that can provide
cost-effective solutions to saving energy and carbon.

IIP Strategy for Global Research
ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard
The ISO 50001 Standard, released in June 2011,
provides a systematic approach for industrial and
commercial facilities to plan, manage, measure,
and continually improve energy performance.
Organizations can use its internationally
recognized framework to voluntarily implement
an energy management system.
Measurement & Evaluation
Accurately measuring energy use is a critical
first step toward energy savings. Following
established measurement methods and
protocols in setting an energy baseline or
assessing project impacts will enable accurate,
transparent, and consistent evaluation of energy
efficiency projects, performance, and progress.
Global Superior Energy Performance
An initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial and
International Partnership for Energy Efficiency
Cooperation, GSEP aims to reduce global energy
use in industrial facilities and commercial
buildings by encouraging continuous
improvement in energy efficiency. The initiative
also aims to promote public-private cooperation
on specific technologies or in individual energyintensive
sectors.
Global snapshot: As economies gradually recover from the recent global recession,
businesses will be ramping up production and investing in new industrial capacity—increasing
the global demand for energy. In some regions, rapid urbanization and industrialization are
also significantly increasing energy use. Technology choices in all new or expanded industrial
plants will have an enormous impact of energy use and carbon emissions over the coming
decades. These choices will either alleviate or exacerbate global issues of energy security,
water quality, climate, and health. Greater awareness and technical knowledge of energy
best practices, in combination with effective policies, standards, and appropriate financial
instruments, can improve technology choices and the energy performance of industrial
operations today and for the future.
Focus: Initially transfer best practices in policy, finance, and technology to target
regions; progress to the transfer of innovations, smart manufacturing, and other
approaches leading to zero plant emissions.
Government
IIP facilitates the sharing of information across
governments on effective policy frameworks for
improving the energy performance of energyintensive
industries and tailors solutions to local
needs. IIP workshops and resources assist policy
makers in designing complementary policies with
appropriate targets, benchmarks, protocols, and
incentives. In concert with regional needs, political
systems, and cultures, IIP works with government
agencies to design and implement pilot programs
that demonstrate the benefits of effective
systems approaches to energy management and
optimization in IIP’s region of focus.
Resource Materials and Networking
Industry
IIP disseminates best practices, technology
information, tools, financing options, and case
studies, as well as sector- and country-specific
information. Industrial firms can use these
resources to identify, implement, and monitor
new energy efficiency options. IIP also works with
selected industrial firms and government partners
to demonstrate various approaches to energy
efficiency—helping to document the benefits, prepare
case studies, develop guidelines, and disseminate
these materials so that industrial companies around
the globe can replicate successful programs and
benefit from the experiences of others.
IIP provides governments and industry with integrated expertise in policy, programs, finance, and technology for
industrial energy efficiency. IIP maintains and continuously improves a suite of databases, tools, and multimedia
resources on technology, financing options, program approaches, supply chain initiatives, and technical information.
