Promising first results from our Smart Energy Program at Ashland

01/09/2018

Ashland, previously called Hercules, is a global specialty chemicals company producing solvents, advanced materials, additives, and polymers for the Pharma, Food, and Energy industry. In ... (when exactly?) Ashland selected Tebodin among other competitors to assist them in reducing energy costs and CO2 emissions on its site in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands. The integrated approach, financing solution, and proven track record in energy efficiency were key factors for Ashland to select our Smart Energy Program.

The program is already on-going and the preliminary results have been presented. A number of interesting business cases have been identified, including a heat pump for recycling waste heat of a distillation column. Ashland mentioned to be satisfied with our performance so far, and after a few business development meetings, we have received a request for additional proposals.

The Smart Energy Program is an effective way to start up or continue Energy Efficiency achievements and can also support in financing the solutions that are recommended.
