Energy Benchmark Guide: Cement ClinkerThis guide focuses on energy used in the production of cement clinker, as all plants produce clinker but do not necessarily produce finished cement. HTML | PDF (609 KB) (Cat. No. M27-01-945E)
Road Rehabilitation Energy Reduction Guide for Canadian Road BuildersIn April 2004, the CCA Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Council made energy reduction a priority for the road building industry. With funding from CIPEC, CCA contracted the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute to work with its members on a road rehabilitation energy-reduction guide for Canadian road builders. The recommendations in this guide are based in part on an energy use survey conducted by the Institute. HTML | PDF (553 KB) Cat. No. M144-67/2005
Energy Performance Indicator Report: Fluid Milk PlantsThe study focused on fluid milk processing facilities, including the energy required to transform raw milk into an array of products. The analysis began with raw milk being delivered from the farms to the plant's silos and ending with shipment.
Guide to Energy Efficiency Opportunities in the Dairy Processing IndustryThis guide was produced by Wardrop Engineering in conjunction with the National Dairy Council of Canada, Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency and the CIPEC Dairy Sector Task Force. The guide provides checklists for all processes of the dairy industry along with several no- and low-cost energy-saving ideas. Many no-cost energy-saving opportunities involve preventive maintenance. Also outlined are nine technological areas for possible retrofits that apply to direct process improvements. A range of probable capital costs, savings and payback periods are listed for easy reference. HTML | PDF (2.2 MB) (Cat. No. M27-01-827E)
Energy Benchmarking: Canadian Potash Production FacilitiesThis report presents an overview of the energy consumption, energy use by type, energy-related GHG emissions and the relationship between energy efficiency and rate of production for the Canadian potash industry. The report also presents inter-mine comparisons of energy consumption for nine conventional mining/milling operations. In addition to the energy consumption benchmarking data, a summary of energy management practices and areas of opportunity for improvement is presented. HTML | PDF (1.26 MB) Order (Cat. No. M144-30-2004E)
Benchmarking energy use and costs in salt-and-dry fish processing and lobster processingThis benchmarking analysis of the Canadian fish processing sector examines the energy consumption and costs for appropriate production stages for each fish processing group. The analysis is limited to the ongoing operations of the processing plants, starting with the landing of the fish/lobster and ending with freezer/cooler storage of the final product. HTML | PDF (2 MB) Cat. No. M144-59/2005
Guide to Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Canadian FoundriesThis publication is a practical, concise and systematic guide to improving energy efficiency in a foundry. It was created through the efforts of the Canadian Foundry Association and CIPEC through Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency. HTML | PDF (2.43 MB) (Cat. No. M92-262/2003E)
Energy Conservation and Efficiency Guide for the Lime SectorThis Guide has been developed as a practical source of information for lime processors and calcining personnel in Canada. Designed to be user-friendly, it suggests potential areas of energy, utility and associated cost savings for lime facilities and processing operations. HTML | PDF Cat. No. M92-231/2001E
Benchmarking the Energy Consumption of Canadian Open-pit MinesThe focus of this analysis is the mining and concentration operations of open-pit mines of MAC members. Nine mining/milling operations participated in the project, and the sample specifically included the operations of gold, oil sands and iron ore establishments. HTML | PDF (831 KB) (Cat. No. M144-70-2005E)
Benchmarking the Energy Consumption of Canadian Underground Bulk MinesThe focus of this analysis is the mining and concentration operations of underground bulk mines of MAC members. Eleven mining/milling operations participated in the project, and the sample specifically included the operations of both base metals and precious metals establishments. HTML | PDF (1.07 MB) Order (Cat. No. M144-71-2005E)
Energy Consumption Benchmark Guide: Conventional Petroleum Refining in CanadaThis document provides a tool with which a refinery can be compared with others to allow the manager to make reasonable, appropriate decisions about energy use and efficiency. HTML | PDF (82.5 KB) Order (Cat. No. M27-01-1860E)
A Guide to Energy Savings Opportunities in the Kraft Pulp IndustryThis guide is designed to give pulp and paper engineers a practical, concise, step-by-step approach for improving the energy efficiency of a kraft mill. Outlined are energy audits, benchmarking against existing and new mills, technical literature, impacts on mill systems and projecting cost savings. Order (Cat. No. M27-01-1317E)
Energy Cost Reduction in the Pulp and Paper Industry: An Energy Benchmarking PerspectiveThis document addresses two key questions: What is the potential for energy use reduction in pulp and paper mills and how can this reduction be achieved? To illustrate the potential to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions, benchmarking studies were performed for the two largest production segments of the Canadian pulp and paper industry: kraft market pulp and newsprint. In each case, the energy consumption for a modern mill was determined using current proven technology and compared with that for existing Canadian mills. HTML | PDF (803 KB) (Cat. No. M92-237/2002)
Energy Efficiency Opportunities in the Canadian Rubber IndustryThis guide provides rubber product manufacturers with information on identifying energy efficiency opportunities for their facilities and processes.
