The Regional Roundup of Energy Efficiency Policy is intended to give policymakers, regulators, efficiency proponents, program administrators and other stakeholders a comparative view of the progress of energy efficiency policies and programs across the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region.

Along with state-level highlights, the report examines regional trends and shared challenges in harnessing the potential of energy efficiency to meet today’s pressing energy and environmental challenges — controlling energy costs, improving system reliability, reducing the need for expensive new generation and transmission projects, modernizing the electric grid, strengthening the economy, growing jobs, improving public health and curbing emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

This paper provides an overview of energy intensity, and energy and environmental opportunities in the industrial glass sector. The paper provides an overview of the glass manufacturing process, with a critical focus on both traditional and recent process systems and their energy intensity. While the glass manufacturing process is very simple in concept (involving the melting of fine silica sand and formation into specific geometries), there are a broad range of process and power supply… Mehr zeigen

This paper provides an overview of energy intensity, and energy and environmental opportunities in the industrial glass sector. The paper provides an overview of the glass manufacturing process, with a critical focus on both traditional and recent process systems and their energy intensity. While the glass manufacturing process is very simple in concept (involving the melting of fine silica sand and formation into specific geometries), there are a broad range of process and power supply variations, all of which can have profound effects on the net energy efficiency and energy density (BTUs per lb of product). Attempts to improve glass manufacturing energy efficiency are complicated by the complexity of some of the process equipment, particularly since many glass-manufacturing systems are custom engineered, one-of-a-kind systems. Consequently, costs associated with upgrades for efficiency can be very high. A case study is also discussed. Weniger anzeigen
