Title: Energy technology R and D: What could make a difference? Volume 2, Part 1 -- End-use technology

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/672160· OSTI ID:672160

This report reviews the history and status of end use technologies and discusses the potential for new technologies and systems to reduce energy use. Environmental considerations are also important; they are not discussed explicitly in this report, but are implicitly taken into account in defining useful opportunities for improvement in energy use. A recent report (US DOE OEERE 1997), however, discusses technological paths to carbon emissions reductions in the 2010 time frame, and some of the conclusions from that study are presented. The conclusions about potential energy efficiency improvements are similar to those presented in this report. 52 figs., 54 tabs.
