Abstract :Energy expenses and carbon emissions from energy production are increasing today due to rising energy demand. One of the sectors that uses the most energy is industrial facilities. Industrial plants are among the sectors with the highest energy needs. In these facilities, energy requirements are essential for maintaining operational and manufacturing activities. Within the scope of this study, the energy consumption of a steel pipe production facility is analyzed and classified. Investigations were carried out covering the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. High energy consumption elements within the facility were identified as a result of field measurements. The reasons for excess energy consumption in the identified production elements were revealed through further investigations. As a result, inefficiency and poor maintenance have become the primary causes of excessive energy use. The analyses indicated how the use of renewable energy sources, maintenance activities, and energy conversions would change energy consumption levels compared to the current situation. Numerical analyses have determined that energy transformation will increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and lower energy costs. Through an analysis of current site conditions, this study offers a technical perspective on the energy demand challenge, aiming to quantify the consumption levels of critical production elements.
