Abstract
This Energy Consumption Guide gives the results of an energy survey of the maltings industry in the United Kingdom undertaken in 1989. The results mainly represent production for the year 1988. All operating malting companies in the U.K. were sent questionnaires and replies were received from sites representing around 80% of total malt production. Results are given here as specific energy consumption figures, in therms/tonnes, to allow each malting site to compare its energy efficiency with others in the industry. Energy consumed during barley drying and steep water heating has been included in the results analysis, where supplied. The best reported figures were 21 therms/tonne for fossil fuel and 25 therms/tonne for total energy, that is fossil energy plus electrical energy. Considering site capacity, the average weighted figures for fossil and total energy were 30 therms/tonne and 35.5 therms/tonne respectively. Histograms within this Guide allow each maltster to see their position in the spectrum of specific energy consumptions for the industry. The trend in energy use is also described, with a comparison of results between the latest survey and the two previous ones, representing 1984 and 1980. The substantial rate of improvement in the efficient use of energy, achieved between

However it is likely that improvements have been masked by other effects. (author).}
