The United States Department of Energy--Division of Energy Storage Systems--has contracted with several industrial teams to examine the potential for waste heat recovery and reuse through thermal energy storage in five specific industrial categories: primary aluminum, cement, food processing, paper and pulp, and iron and steel. Preliminary results from Phase 1 feasibility studies suggest energy savings through fossil fuel displacement approaching 0.1 quad/yr in the 1985 period. Early implementation of recovery technologies with minimal development appears likely in the food processing and paper and pulp industries; development of the other three categories, though equally desirable, will probably require a greater investment in time and dollars.
