    SOLVERA LYNX CASE STUDY

    ENERGY AUDIT OF TIRE MANUFACTURER

    The company is one of the leading tire manufacturers in Central Europe, with an annual production of approximately eight million tires. It conducted a comprehensive energy audit with the objective of implementing measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions.

    The audit covered six locations with a total area of 75,050 m², including the main production site, testing facility, boiler house, compressor station, and water supply system.

    Facility Scope

    6 locations with a total area of 75,050 m²

    Resource Consumption

    Electricity, natural gas, water, heat, nitrogen

    Production Volume

    8 million tires per year

    PROCESS

    The energy audit, conducted in accordance with standard audit methodologies, included a comprehensive analysis of current energy consumption and the energy management system. Potential energy efficiency measures were identified, followed by the preparation of a detailed report outlining findings and recommended actions.

    1. Current State Analysis

    Review of energy consumption during the reference period 2020–2023

    2. Identification of Measures

    Definition of measures for improving energy efficiency

    3. Review and Evaluation

    Assessment of proposed measures and their technical and financial feasibility

    4. Reporting and Presentation

    Preparation of documentation and presentation of findings
