OSTI ID:6765318

In accordance with section 374 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Pub. L. 94-163, the Federal Energy Administration proposed industrial energy-efficiency-improvement targets for the ten most energy-consumptive manufacturing industries in the United States, and invited the oral and written presentation of views thereon by interested persons (41 FR 48169, November 2, 1976). Following public hearings and review of the written comments submitted to FEA, the final targets for food and kindred products (Standard Industrial Classification 20) were developed and are described in this report. They are intended to provide the basis for conservation activities undertaken in furtherance of the industrial energy-conservation program. Energy-savings targets for 1980 were developed for 47 food-component industries, using the base year 1972. The resulting draft gross target prior to public hearings ranged from 26 to 6 percent. The resulting energy-efficiency-improvement target following public hearings is 12 percent. General procedures and detailed methodology are detailed in the appendix.
