Program ProfilesINDUSTRIES OF THE FUTURE
The Utah Industries of the Future (UIOF) Initiative works to improve the competitiveness and profitability of Utah industry through: energy efficiency, environmental performance, and productivity improvements of industrial facilities, processes, and operations; removing inefficiencies and materials waste that lower value to customers and reduce profit and reinvestment; reducing industry’s impact on natural resources by lowering the risk of incorporating new materials and energy-efficient technologies; and forming partnerships and alliances within Utah and with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Industrial Technologies Program. The program is part of a national effort funded by the DOE, and is administered by the Utah Energy Office. UIOF focuses on four key industry sectors: metals, mining, petroleum, and technology. The program offers businesses in these sectors a variety of tools to help improve productivity and meet program goals. These tools include computer software to model energy uses and costs and evaluate the costs and benefits of energy efficiency improvements; databases that provide information on energy service providers, costs and operational experiences with energy efficiency and productivity upgrades, and other information; research and development updates on new technologies; and technical assistance options, including low- or no-cost energy audits, training opportunities, and financial incentives. |
