ASK Chemicals, a global supplier of high-performance industrial resins and materials, has implemented successful measures to save gas and electricity at its European flagship plant in Wülfrath in 2022. Thanks to targeted optimization measures, the Wülfrath plant has succeeded in saving 5 million kWh of gas and 368,000 kWh of electricity, which corresponds to a reduction of 1,200 metric tons of CO2.

This success is the result of process optimizations in production and efficiency improvements in building heating, as well as the introduction of e-forklifts in plant logistics. The use of electric motors has halved diesel consumption there compared with the previous year.
