Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York Energy Efficiency in Industrial Compressed Air Systems, 2014-2017 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Energy
Efficiency in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York's
Industrial Compressed Air Systems, 2014-2017" report has been
added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report focuses on analyzing energy use, energy efficiency, and CO2
emissions-reduction potential in industrial compressed air systems in
selected Northeast U.S. states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, and New York. We have also published similar reports for
industrial pump systems and fan systems for these Northeast states.

One of the major barriers to effective policy making and increased
action by states and utilities to improve energy efficiency in
industrial compressed air systems is the lack of information and data on
the magnitude and cost-effectiveness of the energy savings potential in
industrial compressed air systems in each state.

This lack of information creates an obstacle to developing a
comprehensive and effective strategy, roadmap, and programs for
improving compressed air systems efficiency cost-effectively. It is far
easier to quantify the incremental energy savings of substituting an
energy-efficient motor for a standard motor than it is to quantify the
energy conservation of applying other energy efficiency and system
optimization practices to an existing compressed air system.

Now that states have different programs to set targets, including
passing legislation to enact formal energy efficiency resource
standards, setting long-term energy savings targets through utility
commissions tailored to each utility, or incorporating energy efficiency
as an eligible resource in renewable portfolio standards (RPS),
investment in energy efficiency in industrial compressed air systems to
tap into the huge saving potentials quantified in this report can help
utilities to meet their targets, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions,
and thereby help with climate change mitigation.

In addition, energy efficiency in industrial motor systems stimulates
economic growth and creates jobs in a variety of ways (direct, indirect,
and induced jobs creation). Investment in energy efficiency creates more
jobs per dollar invested than traditional energy supply investments.
Energy efficiency in industrial motor systems also creates more jobs in
the local economy, whereas energy supply jobs and investment dollars
often flow outside the state.

Key analyses and results included:

• Electricity use by manufacturing subsector (NAICS code 31-33) in each
  state studied
• Electricity use for motor systems and compressed air systems by
  manufacturing subsector (NAICS code 31-33) in each state studied
• Electricity use by industrial compressed air system by size in each
  state studied
• Market barriers to energy efficiency in industrial motor and
  compressed air systems
• Energy Efficiency Cost Curves for industrial compressed air systems
  for each state using ten major energy efficiency measures
• Energy saving potential and cost of conserved energy (US$/MWh-saved)
  for each efficiency measures in each state studied
• The cost-effective and total technical energy efficiency potential in
  industrial compressed air systems in each state studied
• Energy saving potential for each energy efficiency measure by system
  size
• GHG emissions reduction potential for each efficiency measure in each
  state
• Sensitivity of the results with respect to changes in electricity
  prices and discount rates
• Implications for markets, utilities, and policy makers
