With us, you will check such production factors as: technological heat, technological cold, compressed air, electrical energy and other energy carriers that directly affect your costs. We offer a range of optimization actions leading to a reduction in media expenses.

A Enterprise Energy Audit (EEA)

Contains a detailed review of energy consumption in areas of the enterprise responsible for at least 90% of the total energy consumption by that enterprise.

The actions presented in EEA aimed at improving energy efficiency will serve as a plan for the enterprise to reduce energy consumption, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, indicate possible financial benefits and estimate potential investment costs.

The Enterprise Energy Audit performed by ARP Energia Sp. z o.o. meets the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act of May 20, 2016, thereby allowing large enterprises to fulfill their audit obligation.

Optimization Actions Audit (OAA)

Is mainly aimed at entities that are not obliged to conduct an EEA. The Optimization Actions Audit focuses on the practical part, i.e., showing areas/actions aimed at improving energy efficiency, along with estimating potential savings, investment costs, opportunities to obtain a White Certificate, and determining the impact on CO2 emissions.

As part of OAA, an experienced team of engineers conducts an inspection of the plant to list possible technical solutions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the enterprise and thus improving its competitiveness in the market. The potential for savings in energy consumption and costs will be verified in 5 main areas covering energy actions: in the area of electrical energy, thermal energy, cooling energy, compressed air installations and production process.

Finding an optimal number of undertakings to improve energy efficiency is essential. The basis for estimating the energetic and economic effect is the energy balance in the enterprise, created based on information and data provided by the Client (OAA does not involve measurements). A balanced approach to this task will allow at an early stage of the process of improving energy efficiency to determine places with potential for saving energy. The proposed solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency are the result of knowledge and experience gained by engineers in similar investments.

In the obtained Optimization Actions Audit, you will find information concerning:

description of the current state and a proposal for optimization;

description of the current state of the indicated area, which is covered by the proposed modernization;

suggested actions with an indication of their order from the moment of making the decision to implement;

determination of necessary additional measurements or actions required to be performed, through obtaining financial resources;

obtaining offers for investment and acceptance works.

Moreover, estimated economic and environmental savings will be presented, indicating energy reduction along with the cost of purchase or production, as well as indicating the reduction of emitted CO2. There will also be a verification of the possibility and quantity of obtaining Energy Efficiency Certificates (White Certificates).

The cost of the investment for the proposed action, the payback time from the investment and the impact of the action on other investments will also be estimated. The next step may be to perform an Energy Efficiency Audit (EEA), in order to submit an application to URE – Urząd Regulacji Energetyki (Energy Regulatory Office) for issuing Energy Efficiency Certificates or an economic-technical concept.

Energy Efficiency Audit (EEA)

Conducting an EEA for a given project is very often required when obtaining various types of support systems. EEA is one of the annexes to the application for issuing Energy Efficiency Certificates. It is a study that meets the requirements of the regulation of the Minister of Energy on the detailed scope and method of preparing an energy efficiency audit, and methods for calculating energy savings dated October 5, 2017, along with subsequent changes. It includes a specific action aimed at improving energy efficiency.

ZERO-EMISSION STRATEGIES AND CARBON FOOTPRINT DETERMINATION
Companies with a smaller carbon footprint have a better chance of cooperation and gaining contractors.

We will determine for you:

The carbon footprint of the organization

Which is the sum of direct actions, such as burning fuels for heating purposes, using fuels in cars, or leaks in refrigeration systems, and indirect (e.g., consumption of electricity from the network) emissions of greenhouse gases (expressed as CO2 equivalent) by the company’s activities

The carbon footprint of the product

Which is the sum of greenhouse gas emissions that occurred in a specific product life cycle. It includes emissions not only from the production stage at your company but also the entire supply chain of raw materials and materials necessary for its production.

Data concerning company activities according to the international GHG Protocol standard are divided into three scopes, which we analyze:

• Scope 1 – these are your own direct greenhouse gas emissions, e.g., emissions resulting from burning fuels in devices or vehicles owned by the organization, but also leaks of fluorinated greenhouse gases (HFCs) from refrigeration or air conditioning systems and any emissions from industrial processes.
• Scope 2 – these are indirect emissions that come from purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling that your organization uses in its operations.
• Scope 3 – these are all other indirect emissions occurring in your organization’s value chain, i.e., greenhouse gas emissions that the organization can influence but does not control. This category includes emissions related to, for example, the transport of purchased goods, waste disposal, business trips and employees commuting to work in vehicles not owned by the organization.

We will propose specific solutions to reduce your company’s carbon footprint.

LOW-EMISSION ENERGY GENERATION SOURCES – COGENERATION AND TRIGENERATION

Cogeneration or trigeneration units can operate in facilities with a relatively constant demand for electrical energy, thermal energy and/or cooling.
As engines, the units can burn various types of gases: natural gas or LPG. They also utilize renewable energy sources, such as hydrogen and biogas (which can be mixed with natural gas), as well as biofuels. The operation of the units is independent of weather conditions, producing electrical and thermal energy with lower CO2 emissions than other production sources.

INTRODUCTION OF AN ENERGY MIX AND STRIVING FOR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

We would like to present a path to achieving and possibilities for improving energy efficiency for your newly designed and existing facilities, showing the possibility of preparing the most economically viable variant of an energy mix, optimal in terms of economy, introducing new renewable energy sources (RES) and utilizing the potential of produced and recovered heat, striving for energy independence.

After completing the investment, we will conduct acceptance of individual works along with their verification in terms of achieving optimal reductions in energy consumption. At this stage, we will also conduct (if required) a re-audit of energy efficiency in order to submit to URE (Energy Regulatory Office) the appropriate documentation confirming the achievement of declared savings.

With us, you can obtain Energy Efficiency Certificates – White Certificates and additional funds for modernization.

ARP Energy Sp. z o.o. provides comprehensive services in the field of acquiring Energy Efficiency Certificates. We will prepare the documentation for investment actions necessary to obtain Energy Efficiency Certificates. We will conduct the necessary audits of Investment Actions, including AEE (Energy Efficiency Audit), prepare the proper application for issuing Energy Efficiency Certificates, meeting the requirements specified in the law and ensure the effective acquisition of certificates, in direct contact with the Energy Regulatory Office (URE).

WHITE CERTIFICATES are energy efficiency certificates, a mechanism that allows obtaining additional financial resources for performing modernizations, introducing innovations that will save electricity, heat, natural gas, etc. They are issued only for planned modernizations.

White Certificates are the colloquial name for Energy Efficiency Certificates issued by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for investments that improve energy efficiency. This translates into energy savings in enterprises and provides tangible financial benefits. The legal basis for obtaining Energy Efficiency Certificates is the Act on Energy Efficiency of May 20, 2016, which implements Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency.

White Certificates are issued by the President of URE in the form of a security (property rights). The trading of certificates takes place on the Polish Power Exchange in Warsaw. The prices of White Certificates are currently at the level of PLN 2,050 – PLN 2,200 per 1 toe (tonne of oil equivalent, a unit used to describe large values of energy). The current price of White Certificates can be found on www.tge.pl

As we are a producer of green energy, we can supply it to you directly. As part of a cPPA (Corporate Power Purchase Agreement), we will sign a contract with you for the purchase of electricity for a period of time convenient for you. Under this agreement, we will commit to supplying you with a specified amount of energy at an agreed time and from a specifically designated source, on mutually agreed terms. A cPPA agreement offers stability and the possibility to secure prices during the contract period with minimal price change risk.

The agreement allows for great flexibility in solutions tailored to your needs, regardless of location. Using renewable energy sources, banks provide cheaper financing, and customers increasingly pay attention to producers’ sustainable development. In the near future, companies that do not demonstrate low emissions may be subject to additional charges for not meeting standards.
