Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Program annual report

Technical Report · Thu Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1978

OSTI ID:6553774

This annual report provides a detailed summary of industrial energy conservation progress, as required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), PL 94-163, enacted on December 22, 1975. Title III, Part D of the EPCA requires the DOE to establish a program to promote increased energy efficiency by American industry. The program includes the identification and ranking of the major energy-consumptive manufacturing industries (on the basis of 2-digit SIC codes), the establishment of energy efficiency improvement targets for at least the 10 most energy-consumptive industries, the identification of major energy-consumptive corporations within those industries for the purpose of determining those which must report progress in improving energy efficiency, and the establishment of a reporting system. A tabulation of the final targets, at the two-digit SIC level, for the 10 most energy-intensive industries shows for the food and kindred products, 12%; textile mill products, 22%; paper and allied products, 20%; chemical and allied products, 14%; petroleum and coal products, 12%; stone, clay and glass products, 16%; primary metal industries, 9%; fabricated metal products, 24%; machinery, except electrical, 15%; and transportation equipment, 16%. In terms of total energy usage, the targets represent potential savings of energy in 1980. (MCW)
