Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint Reduction in Pharmaceutical Research & Development Facilities

Vibhu Sharma, Abhimanyu Singh

Abstract: The pharmaceutical industry faces significant challenges in reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint due to its energy-intensive operations, particularly in Research & Development (R&D) facilities. This paper presents a case study of a comprehensive energy assessment conducted at a leading pharmaceutical R&D facility. The assessment aimed to identify energy use reduction opportunities to align with the broader corporate strategy of carbon footprint reduction. This study details the methodology, findings, and strategic implementation plan for enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in pharmaceutical R&D operations.
