The National Cleaner Production Centre South Africa (NPCP-SA)promotes the implementation of energy efficiency measures in the industry sector and facilitated savings of 7.6 MtCO2ee between 2010 and 2016. The centre aims to raise awareness amongst companies for resource management and energy efficient production via trainings and energy consultancies. The NPCP-SA’s associated program Industrial Energy Efficiency Project (IEE)promotes energy management systems and corresponding certifications. A mandatory submission of energy management plans for enterprises whose annual energy consumption exceeds 180 TJ is still under discussion. The NCPC-SA further launched an industrial symbiosis program under which companies increase their resource efficiencies by exploiting synergies in production
