Assessment Title-  ME5522:Energy Evaluation of Company A with Recommendations of GHG Emissions Reduction

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSESSMENT:
To provide knowledge and awareness of energy evaluation techniques and analysis for company according to the current EU regulations and guidelines with recommendations to reduce GHG emissions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ASSESSMENT:
Students are asked to carry out an energy evaluation of Company A located near Ancona, Italy. The company is interested in improving of the energy use/ source and is committed to reduce GHG emissions of 100% (compared to 1990 levels) by 2050. As a result, the company proposed a new idea of Leaf Community (Figure 1) in order to create an environmentally sustainable integrated community with zero-carbon emissions. In 2016, the company generated 40% of the total electricity use from the own renewable sources (solar and hydropower) while 60% of the electricity was
provided by the microgrid (ENEL), which controls the whole community. According to ENEL, only 43% of their energy production was carbon free. You are provided with layout of the company (Figure 1) and data for the energy production for 2016 (available at ME5522/ BBL/ Assignment 2).
