Launched in April 2013, the project promotes the adoption of measures by chemical companies to improve their energy performance, taking advantage of the already existing and available tools, exchanging "best practices" and technical-financial reference information for the sector and through a dedicated online platform ( www.spice3.eu ), organizing events and workshops for the industry, providing assistance in carrying out energy audits and organizing training courses and ensuring personalized training for the staff in charge. Coordinated by CEFIC, the European Chemical Federation, the SPICE3 project is participated by the national Federations of 13 countries which together represent approximately 80% of the turnover of the European Chemical Industry. The countries represented are, in addition to Italy, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Holland, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain and Sweden. Other project partners are Challoch Energy (consulting company), ExtraMile (online communication agency) and NL Agency (division of the Dutch Ministry of Economy). The cost of Energy can weigh up to 50% of the total operating costs of a Chemical Company. Furthermore, the high costs of energy in Europe have favored the development by the local chemical industry of a high sensitivity to energy consumption, leading companies to develop technologies and innovate processes that have made it possible to halve energy costs per unit of product. in the period between 1990 and 2010. Despite this, SMEs need more support, and the system could achieve further and important improvements in energy efficiency by conveying to them the technical-financial information available to large industry and promoting the adoption by them of the necessary advanced management practices. to effectively control the energy consumption of productions. Therefore, to help bridge the knowledge gap existing in chemical SMEs compared to large companies, SPICE3 intends to promote and enhance specific industrial and association initiatives, such as the dissemination and adoption of the Manuals developed by the CARE + Project with reference to the "Good Practices in the field of Energy Efficiency ”and the“ Guide to Energy Self-Diagnosis ”. The SPICE3 Project also links up with other specific initiatives promoted by Federchimica, such as the TACEC Program - Towards A Carbon Efficient Chemistry and the "Six-Sigma" training course , organized and carried out within the association and aimed at promoting employment. of these managerial techniques applied to the field of energy efficiency.
