ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE METALS INDUSTRIES.

Taylor PB, Gettings M, Eyre NJ, Bushell GC

As competition in the world market for metal products increases, demand for quality and economy also escalates. Since one major factor in metals production is energy consumption, the Energy Efficiency Office has developed a program to encourage energy efficiency through improved technology and, most importantly, to demonstrate the benefits by actually implementing innovations at industrial sites. This article describes some of the success stories of the Energy Efficiency Demonstration Scheme.
