Evonik Takes Third Place in the International Energy Efficiency Awards 2009      

State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Jochen Homann handed Evonik Industries the award for taking third place in the International Energy Efficiency Awards 2009 in Hannover on April 21st.
    The award honors the efficiency innovations that were implemented as part of the Group-wide energy management system. Evonik established so-called Efficient Energy Management (EEM) in its Chemicals Business Area to continuously improve energy efficiency.
    One example of an especially successful implementation is the overhauling of a post-combustion unit at the chemical production site in Munchsmunster. All the measures carried out there have led to an annual reduction of almost 9 300 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
