Program Overview
The Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Chemical and Power Plants program empowers plant leaders and engineers to integrate sustainability into core industrial operations. Delivered by an industry expert with over 25 years of experience, this one-day workshop explores practical strategies for improving energy performance, optimizing process efficiency, and reducing carbon footprints across chemical and power plant systems. Participants gain insights into global standards (ISO 50001, GHG Protocol, PAT Scheme), learn from real industrial case studies, and engage in simulations focused on identifying and implementing energy-saving measures. The session bridges technical know-how with strategic sustainability goals—helping participants build actionable roadmaps that enhance both environmental and financial performance.
