This report assesses the current status and potential of vapor compression heat pump technology and applications for industry, with particular regard to the impact of this technology on natural gas utilization. Industrial applications were identified on a 4-digit SIC level for each of the generic types of closed and open cycle VCHP systems: temperature boosting, dehumidification, mechanical vapor recompression, and low pressure steam production.

This pamphlet describes the Office of Industrial Technologies cooperative efforts to address industry needs for advanced materials, sensors and controls, process energy and energy efficiency. US industry needs enabling materials that are stronger and lighter, with resistance to high-temperature fatigue and improved resistance to corrosion and wear. New industrial materials such as intermetallic alloys and advanced ceramics have the potential to meet the challenges of the Industries of the Future. The manufacturing industries obtain over 85% of their energy from the on-site combustion of fuels. Enhancements to burners, boilers, and process heating systems can lower energy costs, reduce emissions, enhance fuel options, and increase safety and reliability. Robust, integrated measurement devices linked to intelligent control systems will enable US industry to use resources more efficiently and improve product quality. Through constant process monitoring and adjustment of parameters, these systems can reduce energy use and labor, minimize waste and pollution, and boost productivity. The Enabling Technologies Program is designed to address the cross-cutting needs of the Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT). OIT partners with industry to promote the development and use of energy- efficient, pollution-preventing technologies. The Nation's environment benefits from greater use of these technologies, and industries benefit from cost savings, improved productivity, and increased competitiveness.

A federal program was started in 1975 designed to mitigate economic, technological, and institutional uncertainties via forms of government-industry partnership arrangements in the national energy conservation interests. In June 1980, the National Materials Advisory Board, a unit of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council, was requested by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) to form a study committee to assess its effectiveness. This brief summary report contains the committee's findings and recommendations in the above regard.

Industrial operations in the United States consume some 37 percent of the country's total energy, and it has been estimated that this percentage will increase to 50 percent by 1990 unless appropriate conservation measures are applied. However, such measures are difficult to implement in spite of the potential offered by various technologies. Accordingly, a federal program was started in 1975 designed to mitigate the economic, technological, and institutional uncertainties via forms of government-industry partnership arrangements. The National Materials Advisory Board was requested in June 1980 to form a study committee to assess the effectiveness of the Industrial Energy Conservation Program which is administered by the Department of Energy.

In this review, companies were selected in nine major industry groups: food; textiles; pulp and paper; chemicals; petroleum refining; stone, clay, and glass; steel; aluminum; and other manufacturing. An attempt was made to determine whether any of the companies had ever had a corporate-level energy planning function. Energy managers of those companies that had corporate energy departments (CEDs), were interviewed to identify the activities carried out by the CED; obtain a historical perspective of the CED; review any changes in responsibilities; examine the degree of, and movements toward, decentralization; and assess the long-term prospects of the CEDs. The review yielded no evidence that major energy-consuming companies are de-emphasizing corporate-level energy planning. It was found that only 7 of the 53 companies contacted have partially decentralized their CEDs, and only 3 companies have eliminated them. Most of the energy planners contacted noted that high degree of decentralization already exists, and that program implementation occurs primarily at the operating level. A more detailed discussion of the study plan is presented, covering the selection of the companies and the general format of the company discussions. The results of these discussions are presented. The appendix provides discussion summaries for each of the nine industry groups examined. (ERA citation 09:022790)

A preliminary identification of innovative industrial-materials processes that have the potential for significant energy conservation, yet require long-term research to achieve that potential is described. Potential alternative processes in eight major materials-processing industries are reviewed. These industries are chemical; iron and steel; aluminum; petroleum refining; paper and pulp; food and kindred products; stone, clay, and glass; and textiles. (ERA citation 08:054175)

Progress made by industry toward attaining the voluntary 1980 energy efficiency improvement targets is reported. The mandatory reporting population has been expanded from ten original industries to include ten additional non-targeted industries and all corporations using over one trillion Btu's annually in any manufacturing industry. The ten most energy intensive industries have been involved in the reporting program since the signing of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and as industrial energy efficiency improvement overview, based primarily on information from these industries (chemicals and allied products; primary metal industry; petroleum and coal products; stone, clay, and glass products; paper and allied products; food and kindred products; fabricated metal products; transportation equipment; machinery, except electrical; and textile mill products), is presented. Reports from industries, now required to report, are included for rubber and miscellaneous plastics; electrical and electronic equipment; lumber and wood; and tobacco products. Additional data from voluntary submissions are included for American Gas Association; American Hotel and Motel Association; General Telephone and Electronics Corporation; and American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
