Abstract

Implementation and adoption of efficient end-use technologies have proven to be one of the key measures for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the industries. In many cases, implementing energy efficiency measures is among one of the most cost effective investments that the industry could make in improving efficiency and productivity while reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Over the years, there have been incentives to use resources and energy in a cleaner and more efficient way to create industries that are sustainable and more productive. With the working of energy programs and policies on GHG inventory and regulation, understanding and managing the costs associated with mitigation measures for GHG reductions is very important for the industry and policy makers around the world and in California. Successful implementation of applicable emerging technologies not only may help advance productivities, improve environmental impacts, or enhance industrial competitiveness, but also can play a significant role in climate-mitigation efforts by saving energy and reducing the associated GHG emissions. Developing new information on costs and savings benefits of energy efficient emerging technologies applicable in California market is important for policy makers as well as the industries. Therefore, provision of timely evaluation and estimation of the costs and energy savings potential of emerging technologies applicable to California is the focus of this report. The overall goal of the project is to identify and select a set of emerging and under-utilized energy-efficient technologies and practices as they are important to reduce energy consumption in industry while maintaining economic growth. Specifically, this report contains the results from performing Task 3 Technology Characterization for California Industries for the project titled Research Opportunities in Emerging and Under-Utilized Energy-Efficient Industrial Technologies, sponsored by California Energy Commission (CEC) and managed by California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE). The project purpose is to characterize energy savings, technology costs, market potential, and economic viability of newly selected technologies applicable to California. In this report, LBNL first performed technology reviews to identify new or under-utilized technologies that could offer potential in improving energy efficiency and additional benefits to California industries as well as in the U.S. industries, followed by detailed technology assessment on each targeted technology, with a focus on California applications. A total of eleven emerging or underutilized technologies applicable to California were selected and characterized with detailed information in this report. The outcomes essentially include a multi-page summary profile for each of the 11 emerging or underutilized technologies applicable to California industries, based on the formats used in the technology characterization reports (Xu et al. 2010; Martin et al. 2000).
开发节能信息以及适用于加州的节能新兴技术的相关成本和收益
实施和采用高效的终端使用技术已被证明是减少整个行业温室气体排放的关键措施之一。在许多情况下,实施能源效率措施是该行业在提高效率和生产力的同时减少二氧化碳排放的最具成本效益的投资之一。多年来,人们一直鼓励以更清洁、更有效的方式利用资源和能源,创造可持续发展、生产率更高的工业。随着温室气体清单和监管的能源计划和政策的实施,了解和管理与温室气体减排缓解措施相关的成本对全球和加州的行业和政策制定者来说非常重要。成功实施适用的新兴技术不仅可以帮助提高生产率、改善环境影响或增强工业竞争力,而且还可以通过节约能源和减少相关的温室气体排放,在减缓气候变化的努力中发挥重要作用。开发适用于加州市场的节能新兴技术的成本和节约效益的新信息对政策制定者和行业都很重要。因此,及时评估和估计适用于加州的新兴技术的成本和节能潜力是本报告的重点。该项目的总体目标是确定和选择一套新兴的和未充分利用的节能技术和做法,因为它们对减少工业能源消耗同时保持经济增长很重要。具体来说,本报告包含了对加州工业执行任务3技术表征的结果,该项目名为“新兴和未充分利用的节能工业技术的研究机会”,由加州能源委员会(CEC)赞助,由加州能源与环境研究所(CIEE)管理。该项目的目的是描述新选择的适用于加州的技术的节能、技术成本、市场潜力和经济可行性。在这份报告中,LBNL首先进行了技术审查,以确定新的或未充分利用的技术,这些技术可以提供提高能源效率的潜力,并为加州和美国的工业带来额外的好处,然后对每项目标技术进行详细的技术评估,重点是加州的应用。本报告共选择了11项适用于加州的新兴或未充分利用的技术,并提供了详细的信息。根据技术特征报告中使用的格式,结果基本上包括适用于加州工业的11种新兴或未充分利用的技术中的每一种的多页摘要简介(Xu et al. 2010;Martin et al. 2000)。
