Challenges for Energy-Intensive Industries • International technology/cost competition • Uncertain environmental constraints • Limited access to LT investment capital • Uncertain long-term economics • Natural gas prices and supply • Henry Hub spot price on November 8 2005, was $11.89/MMBtu • “Many companies have been unable to pass higher energy costs on to their customers, which has sharply reduced their profit margins” National Energy Policy, pages 2-4
The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) Delivering Technology Solutions Collaborative R&D • Energy-intensiveProcess Technologies • Crosscutting Technologies Technology Delivery Partnerships • Assessments • Training & Tools
Types of R&D Supported by ITP Process specific • Hybrid Distillation • Process Intensification Crosscutting • Iso-thermal Melting • Advanced Water Removal • High-Efficiency Pulping • Inferential-based Process Control • Advanced Thermo- Electric Materials • Super Boiler • Ultra-Hard Materials • Natural Gas Alternatives Other Trillion Btu Computers • Next Generation Steel-making Plastics Glass Fabricated Metals Transport Equip. Mining
Emerging Topic: Fuel/Feedstock Flexibility Total Nat Gas Displacement(1012 Btu) ITP Strategies • Near-Term (0 – 2 years): • Redirect TD to pursue natural gas saving opportunities via: • Technology and market assessments • Application guides explaining opportunities, implementation strategies, permitting issues, etc. • Training and education • Longer-Term (>2 years):Significant process changes and permitting required • Explore opportunities in FE and other EERE technologies • Conduct applied R&D for industrial applications
Technology Delivery Resources • DOE-supported energy assessments (IAC,CTA,PWA) • Qualified specialists • Energy efficiency trainingfor plant staff • Energy analysis software tools • Case studies and information 877-337-3463 www.eere.energy.gov/bestpractices www.energysavers.gov/industry Info Center: Websites:

Completed ~ $ 2 million FY2006 ITP RD&D Solicitations
“Save Energy Now” Initiative Goals: • Encourage industry to voluntarily reduce its energy usage in a period of tight supplies by working with America’s largest energy-intensive plants • Create momentum to significantly improve energy efficiency practices throughout the manufacturing sector
Energy Savings Assessments • 200 assessments of targeted industrial systems • Assessments done by teams composed of DOE Qualified Energy Experts and plant personnel • Teams will focus on either steam generation or process heating • Plant personnel and affiliates will be trained on DOE efficient tools • ESA Report identifies potential energy and cost savings Other4% Facilities 8% Electrochemical - 2% ProcessCooling1% Manufacturing Energy Use by Type of System (%) Steam 35% Motor Systems 12% Process Heating 38% Note: Does not include off-site losses
Robust Partnerships to Reach Plants • Allied Partners • States • Utilities • Equipment Suppliers & Service Companies • Trade Associations • Replication within Industrial Companies
