Burwell, C C

Trends in the uses of fuels and electricity in manufacturing are reviewed for the period 1974 to 1980. Electrification is observed in the manufacture of iron and steel, nonferrous metals, glass, cement, paper, and petroleum products. The incentive for electrification is outlined in terms of the quality (i.e., temperature) of energy requirements and the degree to which particular manufacturing sectors were already electrified in 1974. Technical bases for recent trends in electrification are discussed briefly.
