ECTS: History and Structure (1)
� Founded in Brussels in December 2004
� Motivation:� Shift of decision-making processes in the European Union: more than
50% of law-making relevant for companies is European and not longernational
� 1990s saw a change in the structure of the suppliers of machinery for theceramic industry in Germany: it became more international
� General shift of growth markets: significant growth is taking place outsideof Europe thus making a united effort of European technology providersabroad more and more important
� Members: currently, 24 companies from nine countries
� Mainly producers of machines and plants for the following industries:� Heavy-clay� Refractories� Fine Ceramics� Technical Ceramics

The Question ?
Is there a correlation between the combustion of
� Natural Gas� Oil
� Diesel� Petrol
and the produced amount of CO2 ?
Page 10
29.03.2011
The Answer
Combustion generated:
� 1 m3 Natural Gas => 1,06 m3 CO2
� 1 l Oil => 1,61 m3 CO2
� 1 l Diesel => 1,61 m3 CO2
� 1 l Petrol => m3 CO2

Abstract of the European Regulationfor development of Energy Efficiency
� Directive 2006 / 32 / EC� Directive on Energy end-use efficiency
and energy services (EEE – Directive)
� Directive 2005 / 32 / EC� Directive on establishing a framework
for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-using products(EuP – Directive or Ecodesign - Directive)

Energy end-use efficiency and energy services directive (2006/32/EC)
Aim of the directive:� Saving of 9 % end-use energy until 2016
(basis: average of the years 2001 to 2005)� Member States shall take cost-effective, practicable and
reasonable measures designed to contribute towards achieving this target.
� Every 4-year an EEAP from each Member State� Each Member State shall draw up programmes and
measures to improve energy efficiency (=> individual national ways to reach the target)
Energy Efficiency Action Plan (EEAP):� Member States send an EEAP for the period of 4 years to the
Commission ( 30.06.2007, 2011 und 2014)
� Commission evaluates and publishes its conclusions
� By actions of the market partners and administrative actions the aim of the possible energy savings will be reached

Harmonised Energy Efficiency-Indicators and -Benchmarks
The Commission developed a list of harmonised energy efficiency indicators and benchmarks
Member States shall gradually integrate these indicators and benchmarks into the statistical data included in their EEAPs,
Member States use them as one of the tools at their disposal to decide on future priorities in the EEAPs.
� The market for household appliances / information technology and lighting: Kitchen appliances (white goods); Lighting;Entertainment/information technology.
� The market for domestic heating technology:Heating; Hot-water provision; Air conditioning; Ventilation; Heat insulation; Windows.
� The market for industrial ovens.� The market for motorised power in industry. � The market for public-sector institutions:
Schools/public administration; Hospitals; Swimming pools; Street lighting.
� The market for transport services.

Thermoprocessing equipment incl. kilns
� Due to their manifold applications, industrial furnaces and kilns are responsible for approximately 40% of all end use energy used for industrial purposes, e.g. in Germany
� Life cycles of equipment are high(>30 years are not rare)
� Nowadays, new equipment consumes 30% less energy in comparison to old equipment
� Technical aspects are:� Burner and firing systems
