In this report 51 candidate projects of the Department of Energy's Office of Industrial Programs (OIP) FY82 research and development program are reviewed and critiqued. In the evaluation of these projects the primary criteria are the technical soundness of each project and its potential impact on industrial energy conservation. In addition, these projects were studied with a view toward (1) assessing their long-range, high-risk research and development aspects; (2) bringing existing projects to a logical stage of completion; and (3) minimizing new starts on projects that could not be completed in 1 year. Although this report recommends that several of the OIP projects for FY82 be dropped and that others be brought to completion in FY82 and FY83, on balance the OIP program plan was found to be a viable and implementable tool in the interest of national industrial energy conservation.
