Orica has a history of setting and achieving challenging energy eficiency targets. It has a worldwide corporate target to reduce energy use per tonne of product by 15 per cent between 2004 and 2010 and was one of the irst signatories to the Australian Government’s Greenhouse Challenge Program in 1996. With this background, and as a large user of energy – with an expected 16 petajoules (PJ) to be used globally in 2007 – it was only natural that Orica volunteered in 2005 to be one of 25 trial companies for the Energy Eficiency Opportunities program. At a corporate level, Orica saw the program as an opportunity to assist the company to achieve its 2010 energy reduction target, and to support a ‘beyond compliance’ approach to energy eficiency legislation.
