Systematic Energy Management

A high level of energy efficiency improves not just our emissions footprint, but also our cost position, thus ultimately making LANXESS more competitive.
Our global energy management promotes projects to increase energy efficiency in our plants. In each business unit, energy officers ensure communication and the ongoing improvement of energy-related performance. Technical experts from the central departments help the local teams to identify and implement effective projects to increase efficiency.

With this target, we have taken part in the Energy Efficiency Networks Initiative, established by the German federal government and leading industry associations, with several German sites since 2017. For example, our Mannheim site is currently participating in the ChePap 2 network, the Bitterfeld site in the Bitterfeld-Wolfen 2.0 network.

An analysis of energy consumption by region shows stark regional differences both in the amount of energy and the types of energy source.
