Industries of the Future - West Virginia

Creating Energy Advantages for West Virginia Industry

What is Industries of the Future - West Virginia?

Industries of the Future – West Virginia (IOF-WV) is a partnership program that works with energy-intensive industries to increase energy efficiency, reduce waste and increase productivity. The program grew out of collaboration between West Virginia University, the West Virginia Division of Energy and the U.S. Department of Energy.

The goal is to save energy, reduce waste, improve productivity in West Virginia's energy-intensive industries by identifying and addressing issues relevant to the unique mix of businesses, resources and energy costs, and availability in the State.

IOF-WV teams conduct assessments, develop research projects, and facilitate interactions and networking among diverse, interdisciplinary representatives of industries such as aluminum, steel, glass, chemicals/polymers, wood/forest products, metal casting, mining and crosscutting technology companies.
