Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is part of ICL’s comprehensive approach for reducing its environmental impact. Significant effort is invested to implement energy conservation measures in ICL’s companies and facilities worldwide. Efficiency projects range from a company-wide program to learn energy management and conservation methodologies to optimizing production equipment and creating greater awareness of the need for energy conservation among our employees and contractors. In early 2013, a global energy efficiency program was launched, as part of ICL’s corporate-wide ACE (Ambition Creates Excellence)[...]

Energy

ICL strives to continuously improve energy efficiency and decrease its emissions. It is doing so by increasing its use of clean and renewable energy, utilizing highly efficient electricity production units (natural gas based co-generation) and implementing multi-year energy efficiency programs. All industrial activity requires energy. ICL's energy consumption is both direct and indirect. Direct energy is energy produced by fuel combustion, mainly used to operate steam boilers, electricity generators and similar installations at ICL production sites, as well as fuel[...]
