Companies wanted for study: How future-proof is your energy supply?
Those who plan their energy requirements strategically not only secure cost advantages, but also long-term competitiveness. But what will the energy supply of the future look like? Which alternatives to fossil fuels make economic sense? And how can the manufacturing industry in OWL prepare for rising prices, regulatory requirements and technological upheaval? A new potential study on the energy requirements of industry in OWL, which it’s OWL is conducting together with the Fraunhofer IEM and the University of Paderborn, is dedicated to these questions. The aim is to provide companies with a reliable basis for making decisions about their future energy supply – with concrete options for action for the short, medium and long-term transformation. Participation in the study is now open – companies are being sought until the end of March to take an active part in the analysis.
The days when energy was a negligible cost factor are finally over. Rising prices, supply uncertainties and political pressure for climate neutrality are challenging companies to rethink.
Those who fail to plan now will face massive challenges in a few years’ time – whether due to rising energy costs, legal requirements or competitors switching to alternative energy sources more quickly.
“Many companies know that they need to take action, but they lack reliable figures and a clear strategy,” says Daniela Hobscheidt, Group Manager Strategy and Transformation Management at Fraunhofer IEM. “Our energy study provides exactly that: data, scenarios and concrete options for action so that companies can future-proof their energy supply.”
Why should companies take part?
The potential study provides a detailed analysis of the energy requirements in OWL, based on process-specific factors such as temperature, energy quantities and energy sources. It also develops various future scenarios – such as the use of hydrogen or alternative energy sources – and assesses their economic and technological feasibility.
Your added value:
- A comprehensive slide deck (60-80 pages) with sector-specific and regional energy demand analyses.
- Optional individual evaluations that are precisely tailored to your production processes.
- Strategic recommendations for action that identify both short-term savings potential and long-term transformation paths.
Take part in our study and benefit from working together to overcome the infrastructural challenges of the energy transition. Together we will identify strategic fields of action for a sustainable and future-proof energy supply in OWL.
Participation in the study costs 5000 euros. Companies wishing to participate can register until the end of March and can obtain further information from Daniela Hobscheidt at Fraunhofer IEM(send e-mail) and Florian Schlosser at Paderborn University(send e-mail).
