Energy-Intensive Process Portfolio: Addressing Key Energy Challenges Across U.S. Industry

摘要

The research and development (R&D) portfolio for energy-Intensive Processes (EIP) addresses the top technology opportunities to save energy and reduce carbon emissions across the industrial sector. the portfolio focuses the expertise of industry, academia, and the national laboratories on developing advanced technologies to radically increase the energy productivity of critical industrial processes and stimulate U.S. economic growth. This brochure highlights the advanced industrial technology projects currently in the EIP portfolio. Through these projects, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOEs) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) seeks to eliminate entire manufacturing process steps or completely reinvent production pathways to significantly reduce energy use, carbon emissions, and material requirements. The brochure also includes four projects funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and some recently completed or nearly completed projects that address the key energy challenges of energy-intensive industries.
