Outlook for Total Energy and Natural Gas Demand in the Industrial Sector

摘要

The study provides information on industrial energy use, detailed by technology, functional end-use, industry and region. Industrial energy intensity trends are projected to continue to decline at a rate that is higher than the pre-embargo period, but lower than the post-embargo period. The mix of functional natural gas demand is projected to increase and will maintain market share in all aggregate end-use applications. Appendixes include a comparison of GRI and Industrial Sector Technology Use Model (ISTUM-2) energy demand projects; a discussion of the feasibility of fuel substitution in industrial combustors; input assumptions; and ISTUM-2 projections.
