Sustainable Drug Manufacturing - Start With the Easy Parts
The life sciences industry is determined to get greener. To conserve natural resources, reduce carbon footprints and improve their bottom lines, pharmaceutical makers are seeking to improve their resource management and establish sustainable manufacturing platforms. But how do they begin?
Pharmaceutical executives are starting with the (relatively) easy parts: corporate energy management (CEM), and the measurement automation that empowers it.

4. The ultimate goals are:
• To reduce fuel use
• Reduce CO2 emissions
• Maximize cumulative avoided energy costs
• Accrue recurring annual savings
• Improve the overall plant efficiency.
The savings realized will depend upon the nature of the initial
conditions, but experience shows energy savings in excess of 10%
can be reasonably expected.
19. Ad Hoc Awareness Managed
Energy Management is an organizational competency
Everyone knows how energy usage and deviation effect financial
performance
Energy is managed as a variable cost and used by ERP for planning
The benefits of the energy management are sustained year after year
Automation is in place to prevent deviations

45. • Begin metering and sub‐metering plus ‘virtual’ metering
• Monitor electrical energy, water, air, fuel, and steam
• Correlate this data to the operational phase, batch, location, date and time.
• Produce Key Performance indicators (KPI’s) to report information in context
• Utilize industry available software tools to convert this wealth of information in useful data.
•You can then relate usage to time and location and thereby determine the true ‘Energy Intensity’
