Opportunity

• No cost industrial energy assessment provided by Rutgers University
• • Energy, decarbonization, productivity, waste, resiliency, cyber security
  • Process heating and cooling, compressed air, HVAC, lighting, on site generation (e.g., solar PV, CHP), motors driven systems (e.g., pumps, fans), industrial heat pumps
• Opportunity for federal implementation grants for small/medium manufacturers based on report recommendations
• • Up to $300K/quarter and 50% total cost
  • <$100M annual sales
  • $100K to $3.5M annual energy bills
  • <500 employees at site

Free assessment
