These principles, some 50 years later still apply and as we all are now aware, we can add to that, also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

The industry worldwide consumes about 26% of the world's energy and produces about 50% of all CO2 emissions. Experts know that there is big potential to improve these numbers by implementing sustainable insulation systems. 
Industrial and commercial insulation is a proven first step to create energy efficiency and energy conservation but unlike in the building sector it is vastly underestimated by both industry (economically and environmentally) and Government (policy making). Especially unfortunate is the lack of awareness that industrial and commercial insulation comes with amazing short payback periods. Consequently it creates a ‘win-win' situation for the environment as well as for investors and plant operators. Therefore it should be on top of their agendas as the first step to improve energy efficiency and to reduce carbon emissions.
"The world is facing the climate crisis and we must no longer ignore the options we have. The insulation technology can be used immediately without further development or research. It will help to save energy and money and reduce CO2 emissions right from the moment it is installed."

The TICA is committed to using the combined strength of its members to do all it can to protect, improve and promote what correctly applied thermal insulation can do to help reduce cost but also be a major factor in reducing CO2 emissions.
