Energy Efficiency in California's Chemical Industry

The chemical and petrochemical industry is the largest consumer of energy among industrial sectors in California and is one of the top GHG emissions-intensive industries as well. California's chemical industry employs over 80,000 people and its total value of shipment is around US$82 billion. In 2015, this industry emitted 6.0 million tonne of CO2 in California.

Global efficiency Intelligence, LLC has partnered with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to conducted a study on energy efficiency in the Chemical industry in California. The goal of this project is to produce a technical assessment of the chemical industry that will provide a clear understanding of research needed to improve the energy efficiency in the chemical industry in California and potential energy saving by adoption of current best available technologies.
