Project Description

The project aims to promote sustainable energy management system and achieve energy efficiency best practices within the Philippine industrial setting with the purpose of achieving energy savings and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.

 

This objective will be achieved through the introduction of energy management system (EnMS) standards (compliant with ISO 50001), systems optimization (SO) for steam, compressed air, and pumps, and financial opportunities for energy efficiency investments. The GEF has provided a grant of $3.166 million for the 5-year project period.

Focus Sectors



 

Project Impact

 

The project will impact Philippine industry through the adoption of EnMS which provides a proven policy-driven market-based tool and best-practice method to integrate energy efficiency into industry corporate culture and daily management, as well as SO that focuses on system-wide improvements for efficiency gains, rather than focusing only on individual components. Through this approach, the project is bringing new concepts and opportunities to the Filipino industries in;

 

  • Reducing energy consumption and energy cost
  • Lowering GHG emissions
  • Improving operational efficiency
  • Increasing competitiveness

 

The enhanced capacity of local experts and factory personnel trained under the project will serve the market in the fields of EnMS and SO beyond the project period.
