SUMMARY:Energy Industry Overview Map - Chemical Industry Opportunities for Manufacturers
DESCRIPTION:The chemical industry serves as the foundation for the manufacturing sector\, transforming raw materials into over 70\,000 different products used across nearly all global industries. The sector is functionally segmented into four main categories: basic chemicals\, specialty chemicals\, agricultural chemicals and consumer products. These segments differ fundamentally in terms of production volume\, technical complexity and margin expectations. \nJoin us for this informative webinar to learn more about the chemical supply chain value network\, emerging trends\, growth sectors\, and a roadmap for market entry. \nThe Chemical Industry supply chain was drafted by the Bravo Group\, which gathered content and information from a variety of sources referenced within the document. The Bravo Group is Pennsylvania’s largest independent public relations firm with expertise in advocacy\, marketing\, research\, and government relations. \nThe webinar will be led by Steve Kratz. Mr. Kratz is the president of the Pennsylvania Chemical Industry Council (PCIC)\, the statewide business organization representing the commonwealth’s chemical industry. Working with the PCIC board of directors and staff\, Kratz oversees all operations\, advocacy and initiatives of the council. Kratz brings more than 15 years of political\, advocacy and economic development marketing experience to PCIC\, with an extensive background in advancing projects\, policies and initiatives\, and leading diverse coalitions.

SUMMARY:Power Factor: The Hidden Charges in Manufacturers’ Electric Bills
DESCRIPTION:Every month\, electric utility bills are a pint of Yuengling – liquid beer (Real Power) and foam (Reactive Power). While Reactive Power (foam) is necessary for long-distance\, high-voltage transmission and distribution grid stability\, it is a wasted cost once inside a manufacturer’s electrical meter. This cost is 3-12% of all Manufacturers’ electrical bills…every month. \nPower Factor is a measure of electrical efficiency (0-1.0 ratio of Total Power)\, its two components being Real Power and Reactive Power. Power Factor is not well understood by most companies\, so it is rarely measured\, tracked\, and managed as a controllable cost. However\, due to rising electrical rates\, Power Factor improvement projects now have paybacks in under a year. \nThis webinar will address strategies to achieve the perfect Yuengling pour. It is recommended that you have a recent utility bill in front of you for this webinar – you will not be asked to share but to participate in the exercise. \nRegister \nSpeakers\n \n\nKarl Shaw\, Chief Procurement Officer·Ampica \n\nAmpica brings together elite procurement specialists\, efficiency engineers\, and infrastructure experts—purpose-built to help businesses command their energy future and unlock amplified profit. Ampica provides solutions to drive energy spend reduction—energy contracts\, full-spectrum efficiency projects\, capital-free solutions\, and more. \n\n\n \n\nDavid Huber\, Energy Advisor·I2R Energy \n\nI2R Energy is an energy consultancy delivering energy spend reduction solutions for manufacturers. I2R is driven by a technology focus to deliver solutions based on provider-agnostic\, best-in-class products. Beyond technology and engineering\, I2R provides navigation for the complex funding landscape (Fed\, State\, Utility\, etc.) for clients.
