Potential for industrial energy-efficiency improvement in the long term
1 online resource (viii, 254 pages) : illustrations.
"This book presents a method to identity and characterize promising technologies that can contribute to an improvement of the energy efficiency in the longer term. An analysis of the theoretical minimum specific energy demand provides an objective measure for maximum improvement. Next, an inventory is made of new and conceivable technologies that can improve the efficiency, trying to go beyond the standard lists that can be found in literature. All these technologies are extensively described. The method is applied to three main energy-consuming industrial sectors: the paper and board industry, the iron and steel industry and the nitrogen fertilizer industry. Each of these studies provides an in-depth analysis of the industry and an extensive overview of improvement options."--Jacket.
