Energy-saving in factories, especially in the age of Industry 4.0, is a key strategy for businesses aiming toward sustainability. This strategy involves reducing costs, being environmentally friendly, and practicing flexibility in energy management to comply with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) goals. There is also a greater diversification in energy sources, such as from photovoltaic, wind power or local microgrids.This movement has contributed to a business model called Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) which provides an effective energy management solution to manufacturers who want to focus on running their businesses. |

In turn, the EaaS specialists will use a variety of digital technologies including cloud, AI, data analytics, blockchain, and robots to manage complex energy systems to present a wide range of flexible and customizable solutions. One successful example is the Singapore-based Berkeley Energy Commercial Industrial Solutions (BECIS) who works with SIG Combibloc, a system and solution provider for aseptic packaging, to bring food and beverage products to consumers around the world. Through their efficient solar energy management, is estimated that SIG Combibloc will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 by 58,520 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). |
