McCarthy, P; Savitsky, G S

A listing of the top users in the ten most energy-intensive industries was released by the Federal Energy Administration. Under a 1975 law the agency is to identify firms that use over one trillion Btus a year and rank in the top 50 firms of the industry; these firms must then report to FEA on voluntary conservation measures; a total of 474 that must report were identified. The compilation was based on information supplied largely by the industries for 1975 energy use. The 10 industries are: chemical and allied products (28 firms), primary metals (33 firms), food and kindred products (20), transportation equipment (37), petroleum and coal products (29), paper and allied products (26), stone, clay, and glass (32), machinery, except electrical (35), textile mill products (22) and fabricated metal products (34). A chart lists each firm's name, the number of Btus used, and the percentage of the energy used that is purchased electricity. (DCK)
