Abstract

Industrial energy saving potentials are computed by a linear optimization model for the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), the United States, the Netherlands, and Japan on the basis of aggregated national energy-exergy demand profiles and second law analysis. The technologies considered include heat exchangers, heat pumps and cogeneration. Average transportation distances of 50km and 25km are assumed for heat from the heat exchangers and cogeneration units, respectively. Without any cost restrictions, the saving potentials of primary energy are 25% for the FRG, 30% for the United States and about 45% for the Netherlands and Japan.
