Energy Efficiency Programs - Industrial Sector

Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan's) ecoENERGY for industry and ecoENERGY retrofit initiatives are designed to improve Canada's industrial energy intensity and reduce industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution.

Summary

NRCan's initiatives are delivered through the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC), a collaboration between government and industry that brings together industry associations representing hundreds of companies that use more than 98% of all industrial energy in Canada. For over 30 years, CIPEC has been helping companies cut costs and increase profits by providing information and tools to improve energy efficiency. Services and initiatives include:

• incentives for industrial energy retrofit projects;
• incentives for industrial energy assessments;
• Dollars to $ense Energy Management Workshops customized to meet specific needs;
• the Employee Awareness Program;
• information on innovative financing and accelerated capital cost allowances for efficient and alternative energy systems;
• benchmarking information, case studies, technical guides and the twice-monthly newsletter Heads Up CIPEC;
• the Boiler Efficiency Calculator to quickly analyse the efficiency of boiler operations;
• the Energy Management Services Directory that helps companies locate contractors.

Energy Efficiency: Good for Business, Good for the Environment
Through CIPEC, the mining, manufacturing and construction sectors have voluntarily met and exceeded annual targets to reduce their energy intensity – the energy they use per unit of output. Upstream oil and gas companies have implemented projects to reduce GHG emissions by millions of tonnes. Moreover, electrical utilities have dramatically increased their alternative energy production.

Discover how leaders in Canadian industry are making their operations more efficient, lowering their energy costs and significantly reducing Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. Visit CIPEC's Web site (see More Information).
