The facility converted approximately 100 light fixtures from high-pressure sodium lights to LED lights, saving an estimated 40,500 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year. Additionally, over a two-year period, the facility initiated several improvements to reduce its usage of natural gas, including the addition of new building insulation to reduce heat loss and the installation of several new electric steam condensate pumps that allow for the recovery of hot water. The combined savings from the improvement projects was approximately 1,800,000 m3 of avoided natural gas consumption, an amount equivalent to that used by approximately 375 households in Canada over the course of a year.

The facility is required to incinerate 100% of tail gas produced by the carbon black manufacturing process and convert the heat to steam. With the installation of three STEAMSTAR™ generators, we can now convert that steam to electrical power. Each machine can generate up to 160 kilowatts of energy, and the steam that cannot be used internally is sold to a neighboring facility

Construction is anticipated to start in summer of 2019. The integrated solar parking canopy project will feature high-efficiency SunPower® solar panels and is expected to produce enough electricity to offset about 20 percent of the facility's energy needs, reducing our grid electricity costs. This project will contribute to our long-term sustainability efforts and help meet Massachusetts' renewable energy commitment.

2015 年，在位于比利时 Loncin 和 Pepinster 的两个色母粒工厂进行了能源消耗稽查。根据这些稽查的结果，开展了多个项目来降低能源消耗，包括隔离热油和水蒸汽管道、将生产区域的照明升级为 LED、购买更加节能的设备，以及使用新的高效率天然气锅炉来升级烧油的蒸汽锅炉。通过这些工作，到 2017 年年底，GHG 年排放量减少了 500 公吨，大约是这两个工厂总排放量的 10%。正在考虑其他措施以继续这些工作。

在我们位于威尔士巴里的气相金属氧化物工厂，我们从主锅炉中生产蒸汽以用作工厂能源。为维持系统可靠性，准备好一个以天然气为燃料的备用锅炉以在主系统出现中断的情况下快速作出响应。然而，要确保要求的响应时间，就必须将备用锅炉置于恰当的运行压力和温度下。意识到减少这种天然气消耗量的可能性，工厂在备用锅炉中安装了一个新的蒸汽喷射喷嘴以维持必要条件，这显著降低了天然气用量。在 2017 年的第一次全年使用中，与上一年相比，此装置的天然气用量降低了 20%。
