Derbigum Energy Savings
Since 2000, the Derbigum site in Perwez has made saving energy a top priority. The first two years were marked with some very important modifications. One of these was the addition of a new, natural gas, centralized boiler room that modifies the use of high- powered motors and also monitors’ energy consumption during weekends.

Reduction of CO2 waste going well beyond our commitment to Kyoto
 |
|
At the end of 2003, the Derbigum administration gained momentum with a commitment to the Kyoto objective by means of the "accords de branche". The contribution involved specifically reducing energy consumption by 16% between 2002 and 2012. |
|
For this purpose, auditing and an annual certification were put into place along with a specific Team. These systems work to analyse current levels of consumption as well as continue to propose new ideas for energy-saving innovation. |

In 2006, investments on preparation procedures paid off allowing for a 12% reduction in electrical consumption when compared to 2005. Other methods of saving energy are currently on course to help us optimize our process of heating mixtures; these methods should continue to generate even better results in the years to come. |
