1.Foundry Aluminium Cordoba (Argentina)
 EnergyThe decision to purchase liquid aluminum from 2001 (33 % of total aluminum consumption) played a major role in bringing down energy consumption between 2000 and 2001.. Since 2004, the introduction of new facilities (robots, electric and gas furnaces, automatic coating) has led to an increase in energy consumption, but has also increased productivity..
 
2.Santa Isabel
 Total energy consumption increased with the rise in production. Per vehicle produced, however, energy consumption fell by 54 % between 2003 and 2007. These gains can be attributed to raising awareness of energy-use behaviour and best practices (turning off intensive and office lighting at the end of the day, reduce lighting outside working hours, suggestion box for energy-saving ideas, etc.) and technical improvements....
 
3.Tandil
 In 2007, the following actions were undertaken to bring the site's energy consumption under control :... Despite these actions, energy consumption rose 8 % in 2007 due to the increase in activity at the site....
 
4.Busan - RSM
 Gas consumption increased by boosting energy consumption, consequentely there was more SO2, NOx and GHG emitted.... Energy consumption was increased due to the rise in production volume :...
 
5.Choisy-le-Roi
 This system has reduced energy consumption and therefore atmospheric emissions significantly.... Energy consumption has fallen by 72 % since 1998. As well as a decrease in activity, much of this reduction was achieved through : replacement of a heavy fuel oil central boiler room with gas heaters located in the buildings that regulate temperature settings and zoning. efforts to raise personnel awareness concerning the correct use of energy, along with the introduction of instruction sheets, storage of parts in a single location to allow lower storage temperature settings....
 
6.Flins
 The main energy-related event in 2005 was the start-up of two gas-fired boilers to replace the fuel-oil boilers. In 2006, although production of vehicles and parts increased, an energy saving campaign conducted throughout the plant made it possible to reduce energy consumption.... In 2007, progress actions were sustained (such as work on compressed air leakage, and switch-off warnings at the end of a shift via a telephone alarm) helped continuously reduce energy consumption....
 
7.Ruitz (STA)
 The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is the result of efforts carried out in order to reduce the plant's energy consumption.... Since 2006, efforts deployed in the plant to control energy consumption made it possible to reduce energy consumption, despite a substantial increase in production....
 
8.Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
 Renault is implementing a three-pronged strategy for cutting GHG emissions from its industrial sites : increase the energy efficiency of installations ; reduce energy consumption by training employees and introducing energy-efficient processes ; replacing fuel-oil by natural gas.... Renault is committed to reducing CO2 emissions : by reducing energy consumption at production sites ; by upgrading existing technology : through the development of more efficient gasoline and diesel engines, improved vehicle aerodynamics, management of in-car electrical requirements, reduced weight and friction, etc....
 
9.Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
 Cut energy consumption per vehicle by 2.5 % annually between 2004 and 2007....
 
10.Global Warming
 The greenhouse gas effect caused by human activity can be attributed primarily to carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas is produced primarily by the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) for energy and transport. : by reducing energy consumption at production sites ; by upgrading existing technology : through the development of more efficient gasoline and diesel engines, improved vehicle aerodynamics, management of in-car electrical requirements, reduced weight and friction, etc....
