The industrial and energy sector, currently among the largest contributors to the global carbon crisis, is under immense global pressure to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and methane. When it comes to emission reduction, we are seeing increasing interest in pinch analysis technology – a transformative new method to optimise energy use in industrial operations. By systematically identifying the ‘pinch point’ – the location in a system where the temperature difference between hot and cold streams is smallest – this approach maximises heat recovery, minimising the need for external energy sources like natural gas, electricity, or steam. The result is a dramatic reduction in energy consumption, directly translating to lower emissions. Beyond just energy savings, pinch analysis also helps design low-carbon systems by integrating renewable energy sources and enabling waste heat recovery
