ENERGY MANAGEMENT Borçelik

AND COMBATTING Project to Reduce Energy Consumption

A new system was launched with a budget of USD 25 thousand in 2016 to
CLIMATE CHANGE reduce production cost via monitoring and reducing energy consumption in

RCM –reversible cold mill lines. Hence, cost reduction and energy consumption
reduction in un/planned stoppage of the RCM lines that consist of 44.5% of the
total installed capacity are targeted.

RESULTS AND GAINS
— Every year at Borusan Group While saving USD 130 thousand annually, approximately 715 tons CO emissions
