Beating the Competition in Industrial Energy Markets: Summary of the Annual Energy Seminar for the Gas Research Institute Board of Directors and Advisory Council (8th), San Diego, California, August 10-12, 1987

摘要

The document summarizes the major points made by speakers and participants in a GRI-sponsored energy seminar on the U.S. industrial sector. The first session presented GRI's analytical overview of the industrial sector and GRI's Industrial Utilization R&D Program Strategy that addresses the needs of the traditional heavy-gas-using industries. It also focused on the current position of gas in its traditional markets and the issues/technologies that will affect the future of gas in these markets from the perspective of a major industrial user (steel), a gas distributor, and an equipment manufacturer. The second session presented GRI's analytical perspective on the range of opportunities/challenges presented by new applications for gas technology in the industrial sector and the ongoing and planned R&D in GRI's efforts to find new markets for gas. Also presented were research efforts at Garrett AiResearch in the area of heat and cogeneration, and gas technology advances and future research needs in Great Britain.
