As one of the industrialized world's biggest consumers of energy, the manufacturing sector is uniquely positioned to make a major contribution to global CO2 emission reduction. To do this, it needs to implement energy-efficient processes and technologies as quickly and on as wide a scale as possible. The INTERKAMA+ tradeshow at HANNOVER MESSE 2009 (April 20 to 24) is gearing up to make a contribution of global significance in this area via its "Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes" display. HANNOVER MESSE 2009 will identify and quantify the main areas of production in which energy use can be optimized and savings achieved. It will also demonstrate a range of fully developed, market-ready process automation products and technologies for realizing these savings.
