The UK Government the EU and the international community in general have ambitious targets for reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) and Global Warming. Even though emission reduction targets to 2020 are likely to be met by the UK, longer term targets to 2050 and 2100 are unlikely to be met without substantial changes to policy and technological approaches in the generation, distribution and utilisation of energy. Globally, industrial energy use is responsible for 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. In the UK, industrial emissions have reduced in recent years and are now estimated to contribute between 20-25% of total emissions. Approximately 70% of the energy demand of the industrial sector is for heat. All heating processes result in significant quantities of waste heat, up to 50% in some cases, and is widely acknowledged that there is significant potential for heat recovery, estimated at between 18-40 TWh/yr or £0.18-0.4 billion per year at today's energy prices. As yet, most of this potential has remained unexploited due to technical, economic and organisational factors. Other opportunities for energy efficiency and decarbonisation include the optimisation of steam systems that are responsible for 35% of industrial energy use, the use of bioenergy, particularly from organic and other wastes generated on site, and whole industrial site energy integration and optimisation. To exploit the potential offered by energy efficiency, heat recovery and conversion to electrical or thermal energy at a higher or lower temperature and utilise the opportunities offered by waste to energy conversion and energy integration a number of major challenges need to be addressed. These include: i) development and application of technologies for data acquisition at high enough granularity to enable detailed analysis of performance at component, process and system level, ii) methodologies for the optimal design of technologies to provide confidence in their performance at implementation stage, iii) tools for performance analysis and control optimisation in real time, iv) modelling of energy flows at site level to provide optimisation of energy management based on energy, environmental and economic considerations, and iv) investigation and development of business models that overcome barriers and encourage the adoption of new energy efficient and demand reduction technologies. In the OPTEMIN project we aim to address these challenges by working very closely with our key industrial collaborators to: i) understand the major technical, operational and economic issues associated with the acquisition and analysis of large energy data, ii) use the data to gain insights into the complex energy networks, their interactions and impacts in large industrial manufacturing facilities, iii) critically evaluate the performance of new innovative energy demand reduction and energy conversion technologies using data from demonstration installations, iv) investigate drivers and business models that can facilitate their full development and commercialisation, v) develop methodologies and tools to optimise individual process design, whole site energy integration and management and evaluate their decarbonisation potential within the context of Government policies and decarbonisation roadmaps to 2050. The overall objective is to demonstrate through the research programme and fully documented case studies supported by comprehensive data sets, the potential to achieve energy demand and carbon emission reductions in excess of 15%.

英国政府、欧盟和国际社会在减少温室气体排放和全球变暖方面都有雄心勃勃的目标。尽管英国有可能实现到2020年的减排目标，但如果不对能源生产、分配和利用方面的政策和技术方法进行实质性改变，到2050年和2100年的长期目标不太可能实现。在全球范围内，工业能源的使用占温室气体排放量的33%。在英国，工业排放近年来有所减少，目前估计占总排放量的20-25%。工业部门大约70%的能源需求用于供热。所有的加热过程都会产生大量的废热，在某些情况下高达50%，人们普遍认为热回收的潜力很大，估计在18-40太瓦时/年之间，按今天的能源价格计算，每年可达18-4亿英镑。到目前为止，由于技术、经济和组织因素，这种潜力的大部分尚未得到开发。能源效率和脱碳的其他机会包括蒸汽系统的优化，蒸汽系统占工业能源使用的35%，生物能源的使用，特别是来自现场产生的有机和其他废物，以及整个工业现场的能源整合和优化。为了开发能源效率、热回收和在更高或更低温度下转换为电能或热能所提供的潜力，并利用废物提供的机会进行能源转换和能源整合，需要解决一些重大挑战。这些包括:I)开发和应用足够高粒度的数据采集技术，以便在组件、过程和系统层面详细分析性能；ii)优化技术设计的方法，以便在实施阶段对其性能提供信心；iii)实时性能分析和控制优化的工具；iv)在现场层面建立能量流模型，以提供基于能量的能源管理优化。环境和经济方面的考虑，以及iv)调查和开发克服障碍并鼓励采用新的节能和减少需求技术的商业模式。在OPTEMIN项目中，我们的目标是通过与我们的主要工业合作伙伴密切合作来应对这些挑战：1)了解与获取和分析大型能源数据相关的主要技术、运营和经济问题；2)使用这些数据深入了解复杂的能源网络，它们在大型工业制造设施中的相互作用和影响；3)使用示范装置的数据批判性地评估新的创新能源需求减少和能源转换技术的性能。iv)调查可以促进其全面发展和商业化的驱动因素和商业模式，v)开发方法和工具，以优化个别流程设计，整个站点能源整合和管理，并在政府政策和2050年脱碳路线图的背景下评估其脱碳潜力。总体目标是通过研究计划和全面数据集支持的充分记录的案例研究，证明实现能源需求和碳排放减少超过15%的潜力。
