Nissan Energy Management Team has been
hard at work searching through miles of tubing in the compressed air system at
their U.S. production plant – they have repaired enough leaks to save 11,300
megawatt hours of energy last year. John Martin, Nissan’s Senior Vice
President, said, “We saved enough energy to power more than 700 homes for a
year, offset the greenhouse gas emissions of nearly 2,800 tons of landfill
waste or better yet, to drive the all-electric Nissan LEAF around the earth
more than 40,000 times.” Proud of Nissan’s Energy Management Team, Martin
expresses his concern over a common industrial challenge. They estimate that
more than twenty percent of compressed air that is used in production
operations was wasted through air leaks. “Thanks to the hard work by our Energy
Management Team, we have implemented energy-reduction projects, like the air
leak detection program, that helped us earn the prestigious U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency 2014 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence
Award for the third consecutive year” concluded Martin.
