Koch Fertilizer plants achieve US and Canada ENERGY STAR Certification

This is Beatrice’s fourth, Enid’s third and Brandon’s second time to earn certification, reflecting a legacy of continued energy savings.

ENERGY STAR certification signifies these sites perform in the top 25% for energy efficiency compared to other nitrogenous fertilizer production plants in the US and Canada. This means the three Koch Fertilizer plants spend less on energy and have lower energy-related environmental impacts than similar plants. Additionally, all plants awarded ENERGY STAR certification must be energy performance verified and in good standing with federal environmental laws.

“Stewardship is one of our core values and energy efficiency is a key priority of our stewardship framework,” said Pascal Van Teeffelen, executive VP of operations and compliance for Koch Ag & Energy Solutions Operations Management. “Earning ENERGY STAR certification is a testament to our teams’ dedication to stewardship excellence. We are proud of our employees who continue to identify opportunities to enhance our processes and operations to ensure we manage our resources responsibly.”

To earn certification, fertilizer plants enter key plant operating data and annual energy data into industry-specific energy management tools called ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicators that benchmarks a plant’s energy performance against the industry.

“Improving the energy efficiency of our nation’s buildings is critical to protecting our environment,” said Cindy Jacobs, Chief of the ENERGY STAR Commercial & Industrial Branch. “From the boiler room to the board room, organisations are leading the way by making their operations more efficient and earning EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification.”
