This article briefly reviews the energy situation in Europe and discusses some measures taken or initiated by European furnace manufacturers to reduce energy consumption. An examination of a quite specific consumer area, the iron and steel processing industry in West Germany, reveals that greater efficiency in the use of natural gas has reduced consumption. If this trend continues, the natural gas consumption in the iron and steel industry will have fallen by 58% compared to the 1978 figure. This prognosis is based on the potential for energy saving in the design of industrial furnaces for the iron and steel industry.
