Abstract

Nine technologies under development are discussed. They are: heat pump grain dryer, blended cement, acetylene from coal,polypropylene waste to fuel oil, foam-dying textiles, microwave/vacuum drying, fuel-saving paint plant, new fertilizer process, and high-performance forge furnace. Each is discussed from the standpoint of the technology, environmental concerns, and regulatory and control considerations. The environmental readiness of each is summarized. (JGB)

Environmental readiness document. Transportation programs, FY 1980: alcohol fuels; organic Rankine cycle system working fluids

Technical Report

This Environmental Readiness Document was prepared to assist DOE in evaluating the commercial readiness of two transportation programs technologies: alcohol fuels utilization and organic Rankine cycle system working fluids, with respect to environmental issues. An effort has been made to identify potential environmental problems that may be encountered based on current knowledge, proposed and possible new environmental regulations, and the uncertainties inherent in planned environmental research. It is concluded that alcohol fuels, neat or mixed, appear to have a high probability of achieving environmental acceptability, and that the organic working fluids proposed for Rankine cycle systems for recovering heat frommore »« less
Environmental Readiness Document: buildings and community systems. Fiscal year 1980

Technical Report

This Environmental Readiness Document was prepared to assist DOE in evaluating the commercial readiness of six Buildings and Community Systems technologies, with respect to environmental issues. These technologies include: Stirling/Rankine Heat Pump; lighting efficiency technology; integrated appliances, occupancy detector-based ventilation controls; integrated community energy systems; and urban waste technology. Each technology and expectations for its future utilization are described. The environmental concerns associated with each technology, the current status of knowledge about each concern and its potential seriousness and manageability through regulation and control technology are examined. Summarized are present and projected societal capabilities to reduce and control undesirable environmental,more »« less
Effective transfer of industrial energy conservation technologies

Conference Clement, M; Vallario, R

Voluntary participation in industrial energy conservation programs resulted in savings of approximately 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in the US during 1981. These energy savings accrued largely from the development, introduction, and acceptance by industry of new energy conserving technologies. These new technologies were developed through cost sharing programs between the Department of Energy and private industry. These joint efforts reduced risk to industry, thus making them willing to accept and use these new technologies at an accelerated rate. Examples of several technologies that were used by industry at an accelerated rate are described. These technologies are:more »« less
Assessment of the energy requirements and selected options facing major consumers within the Egyptian industrial and agricultural sectors. Final report

Technical Report

The objectives of the energy assessment study of Egypt are to develop an understanding of the current status of the principal energy users in Egypt's industrial and agricultural sectors; to estimate the energy demand and efficiency for each selected subsector within these major sectors; to identify opportunities for fuel type changes, technology switches, or production pattern changes which might increase the efficiency with which Egypt's energy is used both now and in the future: and based on options identified, to forecast energy efficiencies for selected Egyptian subsectors for the years 1985 and 2000. Study results are presented for the ironmore »« less

Environmental readiness document magnetohydrodynamics

Technical Report

The major areas of environmental concern with regard to the commercialization of coal-fired MHD generators are discussed. MHD technology and expectations about its future utilization are described. Information pertinent to the technology was drawn from the DOE technology program office and from an Environmental Development Plan developed for the technology by EV and the program office through an Environmental Coordination Committee. The environmental concerns associated with the technology are examined, and the current status of knowledge about each concern and its potential seriousness and manageability through regulation and control technology, is discussed. Present and projected societal capabilities to reduce andmore »« less
