.The development and implementation of technologies that are energy efficient are necessary components of any responsible energy plan. Research and experience in industrialized countries suggest that efficient technologies can play a vital role in improving industrial productivity and sustaining high rates of economic growth. They are also less costly and more environmentally benign than an exclusively supply-oriented strategy. This paper discusses the technical concepts of industrial energy efficiency, reviews energy consumption and the potential for savings in several selected industries, presents the concepts of economic analysis applied to conservation, discusses
policy options designed to encourage industrial energy conservation, and suggests a number of research issues that deserve further study.
Analysis
Industrial Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is measured using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The first law defines efficiency as the ratio of energy output to energy input. The second law efficiency is defined as the minimum energy input required to perform a task, divided by the actual input ofenergy. Energy conservation measures have the potential to improve first law efficiencies by 10-60% and second law efficiencies by 65-99% in various industrial subsectors.
Industry uses energy not for its own sake, but to satisfy end-use requirements for process heat (40% of total industrial energy use), for a feedstock...
