The Institute for Industrial Productivity (IIP) provides companies and governments with the best energy efficiency practices to reduce energy costs and prepare for a low carbon future. The Institute for Industrial Productivity is a nonprofit organization based in China, India, the United States and the European Union. The main areas of IIP’s engagement are policy, finance, technical support, and demonstration projects as actions in these areas can overcome barriers to realizing GHG mitigation and energy saving potential in the industry sector. IIP’s work focuses on the countries and sectors that drive industrial demand and offer major opportunities for improvement – such as in the cement, iron and steel, and chemicals sectors in China, India and the United States. They work widely on as energy management systems (EnMS) – and stimulate investment in other energy efficiency technologies and practices by government, industry and utilities. They do this by working with relevant governments on policy implementation, providing technical assistance to a range of parties, and partnering with key companies, investors and associations to create model projects that can be effectively scaled up. They select their projects by looking at their greenhouse gas mitigation potential, scale and ability to be replicated – so that everything we do has the greatest impact. IIP also establishes strategic alliances with other NGOs and funders with similar interests and objectives. Their key areas of expertise are in EnMS program design and implementation, spurring energy efficiency action in industrial supply chains, and the development of industrial energy efficiency databases and tools. Their databases provide comprehensive information about energy efficiency policy, programs, finance mechanisms, supply chain initiatives and technology. They include guidelines, reports, factsheets, and case studies, and they offer a rich resource for policymakers, industry, NGOs, and researchers.They have a global team and network of independent experts that provide advice on technology, policy and financing of industrial energy efficiency. They also work at national and local levels to improve energy efficiency policies, practices and technology adoption which includes developing technical projects that deliver practical and cost-saving solutions to industry and provide a basis for better energy efficiency policy implementation.
