Abstract
Industrial energy productivity has increased substantially over the last decade. Such measures as implementing efficient housekeeping practices and using retrofit equipment on currently operating production units have reduced industrial energy usage by about 20%. Further gains can be realized through industrial process changes and application of new process technologies. In this paper, new process technologies likely to be considered for implementation in the future are identified along with their potential for further energy conservation by comparison with currently used technology. Industries considered account for about 75% of industrial energy consumption.
