Reduce CO2 footprint

Value creation

You can work according to two principles to reduce energy consumption per manufactured unit.
• More time-efficient production.
• Reduce equipment’s energy consumption while in use

More time-efficent production

By reducing unnecessary machine downtime (unplanned, planned, changeover times, minor
stoppages), the same amount can be manufac-tured in a shorter time when the OEE number increases.

See the examples below for how to proceed

For many years, Good Solutions has helped manu-facturing companies to measure and visualise time
losses in production processes, and the experience is that you can reduce unnecessary downtime by
10 to 30%.

For a manufacturing company with 100 MEUR annual turnover and 800 tonnes of CO2 e footprint
per year, this means at least 50 to 80 tonnes of reduced CO2 e footprint.

If each kWh consumed on average creates 0,05 kg of CO2 e emissions and the energy cost per
kWh is 0,1 EUR (see links and tables at the end of this material), this means at least 1 to 1,25 MWh
reduced consumption and an annual cost savings of 100 to 125 000 EUR

Reduced energy of machines and equipment during use

In Sweden, state-owned Almi has followed 30 SM manufacturing companies that measure and follow
up energy consumption. They conclude that those who work actively with measures reduce their
energy consumption by 250 000 kWh annually.

See the examples below for how to proceed.

If each kWh consumed on average creates 0,05 kg of CO2e emissions (see links and tables at the end
of this material), this means a 12,5-ton reduced CO2 e footprint.

If the cost per kWh is 0,1 EUR (see links and tables at the end of this material), this means an annual
cost savings of 25 000 EUR

Low CO2E footprint as a competitive advantage

In a world where the climate impact of products is becoming increasingly important, CO2 e per product
unit is emerging as a parallel unit alongside cost and price when you, as a manufacturing company,
compete for order
