OSTI ID:6800077

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. The industry defined as SIC 29 consists of five components: petroleum refining, paving mixtures and blocks, asphalt felts and coatings, lubricating oils and greases, and products of petroleum and coal (not elsewhere classified). Following a chapter on industry description, subjects analyzed are technological feasibility and economic practicability of conservation measures, capital spending requirements and financing constraints, assessment of energy conservation measures, and target definition and sensitivity. The ten most energy-consumptive industries in the US are identified (by rank of energy consumption) as chemical and allied products; primary metal industries; petroleum and coal products; stone, clay, and glass products; paper and allied products; food and kindred products; fabricated metal products; transportation equipment; machinery (except electrical); and textile mill products. This proposed target is based on the best available information. A final energy-efficiency improvement target has also been published. (MCW)
