The words “all-electric” likely cause people to pause when considering industrial processes. But that didn’t stop Siemens who recently introduced its first all-electric paint line at its Grand Prairie, TX, Electrical Products facility. With the goal of reducing natural gas and associated CO2 emissions, Siemens is sharing their experiences and thought processes through this webinar. Attendees will learn the process of making the decision to move to all-electric, the steps it took to design and install the system and most importantly, hear how Siemens reduced the facility’s gas consumption by more than 90%. Much thought and planning went into the development of this system. While ensuring that the new paint line maximized energy efficiency, other aspects of the process, including powder materials chemistry, heat reuse, and material characteristics were trialed for improved efficiency as well.

IHEA's Sustainability and Decarbonization webinar series focuses on carbon producing heating processes and provide methods to optimize their efficiency and thereby reduce their carbon emission intensity. Additionally, these webinars cover the various scopes of carbon emissions and the methods to determine your site, or specific equipment, carbon footprint. The available DOE tools and other resources for determining and reducing your carbon footprint will be presented. Overall, this webinar series gives the attendees an excellent overview of carbon emissions, how to determine them, and how to reduce them.  Learn more about IHEA's Sustainability Initiatives by clicking here.
