Challenges and CO₂ requirements in Belgian industries
Energy prices remain high and unpredictable, climate targets deadlines are approaching and the government is imposing strict regulations on energy efficiency, reporting, and sustainability. At the same time, a significant amount of energy continues to be lost as waste heat. These are paid-for energy costs that generate no value but erode your margins. CO₂ reduction is therefore essential for industrial companies to reduce costs, manage risks and secure their future.
Reduce First: the smart first step
The ‘low-hanging fruit’ for CO₂ reduction is lowering your energy use, eliminating energy losses, and utilising waste heat:
- You optimise your existing installations.
- You reduce losses of steam, cooling, compressed air, and ventilation.
- You reuse waste heat for heating or process support.
- You prepare your production for future electrification.
Compliance: staying on top of regulations
Delaying investments in CO₂ reduction is counterproductive. The European CSRD regulation mandates emissions reporting, while the European Emissions Trading System (ETS) imposes a cap on your emissions. By reducing your emissions, you can trade emission allowances, avoid extra costs, and stay compliant with regulations. This also gives you a competitive edge with partners, investors, and customers.
