Abstract
This paper presents an overview of
General Motor's energy efficiency
program over the past decades with
special emphasis on current activities
and a crystal ball look into the future.
Included is a description of the total
program including results to date,
organization, plant guidelines and
objectives, communication and motivation
techniques, successful current case
histories and some concept for future
savings. Also discussed is the apparent
decrease in energy awareness and the
"real world" approach to selling
conservation projects. GM's new
Corporate Energy Reporting System
utilizing electronic transmission of
data is described. A brief description
of efforts to utilize fluidized bed
combustion and cogeneration for steam
production is presented.
