Pohl, J H

The industrial use of natural gas and oil in the United States is summarized, and the potential for conservation of these fuels through improved efficiency and conversion to the use of coal and waste fuels is estimated. A cooperative program involving all the major industrial users and DOE could result in the energy savings of 960 million barrels of oil equivalent per year by the year 2000. Such a program should incorporate European and Japanese experience through the offices of the IEA. An effective means for coordinating an industrial conservation effort of the proposed scale would be to involve the American Flame Research Committee at an early stage in the planning effort.
