Energy monitoring and saving

Since the first energy crisis in 1973, TCKI has been active in the field of energy cost savings in building-ceramic production plants. We use a combination of activities to reduce energy costs, such as:

• quality improvement,
• reduction of losses,
• improvements based on detailed energy measurements,
• software expertise systems as a management support and
• joint purchase of electricity and gas.

TCKI has performed the annual energy monitoring within the ceramic industry for some time now based on European tenders for SenterNovem. Energy reports for the Dutch government are drawn up based on these figures.

In addition, we have facilitated Energy Efficiency Plans for many years, including recently for 23 building-ceramic production plants in Belgium and 49 building-ceramic production plants in the Netherlands. Building-ceramic production plants use this information to determine their energy savings for the coming years.

This approach uses the combined efforts of TCKI´s measuring group and advisory group. We can also advise other sectors - outside of the ceramic industry - in the field of energy.
