Industrial Technologies Program – Energy Intensive Processes

Energy Analysis

The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) conducts analyses to identify the best opportunities to save energy. These analyses recognize the disparate characteristics of energy use among industries and component systems within industries.

Footprints

The U.S. Manufacturing and Mining Energy Footprints provide a graphical representation of the flow of energy across the most energy-intensive industries. The footprints show where energy is used inside plant boundaries, where losses occur on-site, which are the most widely used energy systems for each industry, and much more.
