Join NWFPA's Energy Workshop to explore strategies for enhancing energy efficiency among food processors. Led by Energy Director Pamela Barrow, this workshop addresses critical megatrends like global competition, climate change, and rising energy costs. The NWFPA aims to reduce member-wide energy intensity by 25% in 10 years and 50% in 20 years, emphasizing a shared commitment to sustainable practices. Together, we can improve productivity, attract partnerships, and influence policy makers for a more competitive industry.

NWFPA ENERGY GOALS & ROADMAP ENERGY & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WORKSHOP FOR FOOD PROCESSORS Pamela Barrow, Energy Director July 14, 2011
Megatrends • Global Competition • Climate Change • Sustainability • Rising Energy Costs • Water Shortage • Increased Costs of Commodities and Raw Product
Energy Efficiency Component • Global Competitiveness • Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production • Climate Change • Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production • Sustainability • Reduced kWh and Btu / unit of production
NWFPA Energy Vision Enhanced productivity and competitiveness through a sustainable energy efficiency plan
NWFPA Energy Goal Reduce member-wide energy intensity by 25% in 10 years and by 50% in 20 years
Key Points About the Goal • It is industry-wide not plant-specific • It is voluntary • It is a target • It is energy intensity not absolute energy reductions • It is based on a best guesstimate • It was adopted by the NWFPA Board of Directors in January 2009
The MOU • February 2009 • Pledge of support and commitment to Goal • Signatories: • NWFPA • USDOE • BPA • PNNL and INL
NWFPA Roadmap Workshop • December 2008 • Over 50 food processors • Over 30 partners • Produced 500+ ideas • Vision and Roadmap Workshops funded by NEEA and USDOE
Why a Goal & Roadmap? • Coalesce industry and focus NWFPA energy efforts • Enhance member competitiveness • Enhance funding opportunities • Attract partner participation and support • Public recognition for NWFPA & members • Influence regulators, legislators & policy-makers
NWFPA Energy Roadmap • Guides efforts to achieve the energy intensity reduction goals. • Roadmap has two parts: • Association Roadmap • Roadmap for Members
Initial Roadmap Projects • Energy Intensity Baseline • NPPCC 6th Power Plan Analysis • Roadmap Development • Energy Assessments & Mapping • Access To Energy Data
Upcoming Events • Energy Committee Meeting – Sept 14 • NW Food Manufacturing &Packaging Expo and Conference – Jan 16 - 17 • 4th Annual Northwest Industrial Energy Efficiency Summit – Jan 18
