But… What about energy efficiency potential in SMEs?
• Most EU chemical companies are small- or medium-sized
• SMEs account for 30% of sales and 37% of jobs
• CARE+ showed: there is energy efficiency improvement
potential of 10–20% in many SMEs across Europe
Challenges:
•
•
•
•
Lack of knowledge
Administrative burdens
Limited staff resources
Financial limitations (payback
time for investments)

SPiCE³ – Objectives
Facilitate access to
energy efficiency
information, tools and
support schemes
Enable companies to
take up tools and
participate in existing
initiatives
Promote best
practices and success
stories
Establish and
strengthen contacts
between energy
efficiency actors
to create a network for
learning
and exchange
10
SPiCE³ closes knowledge gaps and links bottom-up with top-down through our
national federations and companies at international and local level
Online
platform
• One-stop shop for
energy efficiency
information
Workshops
• Knowledge sharing
between SMEs,
large companies
and energy expert
organisations
On-site
training
EU awards and
events
• Site visits to SMEs
by energy experts
to assess potential
measures and give
recommendations
• Promoting good
practices
