dc.description.abstractThis paper aims at presenting the main results of an energy audit performed to a gypsum production plant, in Portugal, which due to the amount of energy consumed must comply with the Portuguese program SGCIE (Intensive Energy Consumption Management System). The program was created in 2008 to promote energy efficiency and energy consumption monitoring in intensive energy consuming facilities (energy consumption higher than 500 toe per year). Facilities operators are required to perform energy audits and take actions to draw up an action plan for energy efficiency, establishing targets for energy consumption reduction and greenhouse gases emissions indexes. An energy audit was carried out to identify potential energy conservation measures for improving energy efficiency, and also typical energy consumption patterns, sector/equipment load profiles and thermal equipment performance. This tool gives managers the information to support decision making on improving energy performance and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A number of tangible targets and measures were devised and set to be implemented in the next few years. Results show that there is a considerable potential for reduction in the energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions of gypsum manufacturing plants. Here, as elsewhere in the industrial sector, energy efficiency can only be achieved through a continuous energy monitoring and management system.eng
