Energy Efficiency, Waste Reduction & Decarbonization

Run with less energy and waste—make improvements visible, actionable, and sustained.

Energy and emissions goals compete with production realities. This page outlines a practical way to see where energy goes, act within process constraints, and track reductions without disrupting safety or quality. Start small, prove what works, then scale.

What you’ll get on this page

  • A staged approach you can run with existing systems
  • Clear KPIs
  • Short Use Cases with links to OpreX™ Integrated Solutions pages
Run with less energy and waste—make improvements visible, actionable, and sustained.

 

Why Yokogawa

  • Constraint-aware optimization tightly integrated with plant operations
  • Exception playbooks that sustain energy and emissions reductions over time
  • Dashboards that track efficiency and sustainability metrics at line and unit level

 

Overview

  • Challenge
    Energy data is fragmented; actions are ad-hoc; reporting is time-consuming.
  • Approach
    Build one experience: energy balance visibility → constraint-aware operating rules → continuous tracking of savings and emissions.
  • Outcomes
    Lower energy intensity and cost, more reliable emissions tracking, less material and utility waste.
  • Primary KPIs
    Specific energy per unit, utility cost per output, loss capture rate, exception closure time, tCO₂e (Scope 1/2) progress vs target.

We describe methods and typical goals. Actual outcomes vary by site conditions, data quality, and operating constraints.

Challenges

 

Do any of these sound familiar in your operations?

 

Energy consumption & cost management

Energy consumption & cost management

  • Usage and costs aren’t visible at the right granularity
  • Actions are hard to prioritize
Emissions monitoring & reduction
 

Emissions monitoring & reduction

  • Data sources and boundaries vary
  • Reporting takes effort, and reductions are hard to verify
Waste reduction & resource efficiency
 

Waste reduction & resource efficiency

  • Losses (heat, utilities, materials) are spotted late
  • Ownership for follow-up is unclear

 

How Yokogawa helps

 

Practical ways to address these challenges with your team

 

Make the energy balance visible

Make the energy balance visible

  • Map meters and process signals to a simple balance by line/unit
  • Set actionable thresholds tied to who acts and when
Operate with emissions in mind

Operate with emissions in mind

  • Define operating rules that include emissions limits and meters
  • Log exceptions and route them to closure
Close the loop on losses

Close the loop on losses

  • Publish loss playbooks (pattern→action→timer→escalation) for heat/steam/air/material losses
  • Review them on a fixed cadence

 

Use Case

 

[Case 1] Holistic energy management within constraints

When meters scatter and actions are ad-hoc, savings don’t stick. Map a simple balance by line/unit, set actionable thresholds that respect safety/quality, and route exceptions with owners and timers to sustain reductions.

Team achieves
  • One picture of energy use and loss
  • Clear “who moves when” rules
  • Sustained gains instead of one-offs
[Case1] Holistic energy management within constraints

 

[Case 2] Maintaining solar generation efficiency

Soiling and defects quietly erode output while field checks consume time. Detect loss patterns early, schedule cleaning/repairs proactively, and track recovery against targets.

Team achieves
  • Earlier detection of loss modes
  • Less reactive field work
  • Visible recovery toward targets
[Case2] Maintaining solar generation efficiency

 

[Case 3] Forest management supporting decarbonization

Unstructured field observations miss risks and slow intervention. Standardize aerial/ground checks, document conditions, and plan actions that measurably support decarbonization goals.

Team achieves
  • Comparable observations over time
  • Faster, prioritized interventions
  • Evidence suitable for reporting and audits
