Reduce emissions by cutting energy use
Energy efficiency is often the fastest path to emissions reduction. Compressed air systems are a major electricity load and improving how they operate can unlock significant savings.
How our solutions align with LEIP
Where efficiency gains are highest
The LEIP funding can support a range of improvements to enhance your compressed air efficiency. You can benefit from most in areas such as:
- Variable air demand: Improve efficiency by matching compressor output to actual usage, reducing energy wasted during low demand periods
- Multiple compressors operating inefficiently: Optimise how compressors work together to reduce unnecessary running time and lower overall energy consumption
- High energy consumption: Identify and reduce major energy losses across the system, helping lower operating costs and emissions
- Ageing compressed air equipment: Upgrade or optimise older systems to improve performance, reliability and energy efficiency
A smarter approach to emissions reduction
Optimising how compressed air systems operate can often deliver more sustainable results than equipment replacement alone. Our solutions are designed to optimise performance, reduce energy consumption and support ongoing efficiency improvements over time.
How we can support your LEIP project
We work with customers to identify practical opportunities to improve compressed air efficiency and support LEIP-aligned energy efficiency projects.
This may include:
- Analysing system performance and energy usage
- Identifying optimisation opportunities
- Estimating energy and emissions reduction
- Supporting planning for LEIP-aligned upgrades
