摘要：
Industries around the globe share mutual challenges and interests. They strive to utilise their energy inputs better, considering that energy is crucial in many industrial sub-sectors. Industries always pursue a reduction in energy consumption to curtail costs and become more competitive. This paper presents a collaboration between industry and academia to study the energy efficiency measures given in Jordan's previously-done related projects and audits. This paper evaluates these measures’ outcomes by calculating the anticipated annual savings, the capital needed for the investment, and the payback period. The results show that if all the mentioned measures are implemented, a yearly saving of 60.5 GWh would be accomplished, corresponding to 8.5 million USD with an overall investment of 18.3 million USD, resulting in a payback period of 2.2 years. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
