Abstract
It’s well known that energy is the most important input of the industry. The energy sector must be kept under control, observed and planned carefully for the future in developing countries; migration to large cities, the altering and improving life standards, and the development in many industries have increased the demand for energy rapidly and continuously. However, the supply of energy has not been able to meet the consumption and the problem was solved by importing energy from other countries.
The key issue to a sustainable development is the balance between the supply and demand of energy, keeping the environment clean, healthy, and pollutant free. This topic is very important for Turkey, who is in the process of becoming a member to EU and a cosigner of the KYOTO protocol. Turkey imports more than half of her energy although she has a variety of primary sources. The difference between supply and demand is expected to reach 200 million TOE by 2020.
Energy has become the main issue in almost all engineering applications in the world today due to its steadily increasing price and its unpredictability. Energy efficiency is “a low-hanging fruit” on the “energy tree” which can help address a number of objectives at the same time and at a low or negative cost, such as security of supply, environmental impacts, competitiveness, balance of trade, investment requirements, social implications, and others.
This chapter has been prepared to illustrate the energy efficiency measures and methods utilized in the industry, presenting the outcome of an energy analysis for the consumption for processes, heating and conditioning of production areas, and office space heating of a pharmaceutical plant.
