This book quantifies the potential for greater energy efficiency in industry on the basis of technology- and sector-related analyses. Starting from the methodological fundamentals, the first part discusses the electricity- and heat-based basic technologies and cross-sectional processes on the basis of numerous application examples. In addition to classic topics such as lighting and heat recovery, the study also covers processes that have received less attention to date, such as drying and painting. The second part is devoted to energy-intensive industries, in particular metal production and processing, the manufacture of the non-metallic materials cement and glass, and the chemical, paper, plastics and food industries. Both parts are concluded by placing them in a larger energy and economic context. The findings are condensed into checklists at many points and summarized in the overall view at the end to form generally applicable recommendations.

This book is a translation ofthe original German 2nd edition Energieeffizienz in der Industrie by Markus Blesl and Alois Kessler, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2017. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Über Autor(innen)

PD Dr.-Ing. Markus Blesl, born in 1968, studied physics at the universities of Tübingen and Stuttgart and received his doctorate in energy engineering from the University of Stuttgart in 2002. In 2014 he habilitated and received venia legendi for the subject Energy Systems and Technology Analysis. He heads the Department of System Analytical Methods and Heat Market (SAM) at the Institute of Energy Economics and Rational Energy Use (IER) at the University of Stuttgart.

Dr.-Ing. Alois Kessler, born in 1965, studied mechanical engineering at the University of Stuttgart and earned a part-time doctorate in 1997. From 1992 to 2000, he was employed as a power plant engineer at EVS AG and later at EnBW Kraftwerke AG. Since 2000 he has been a senior consultant and since 2015 team leader for research and development at EnBW AG and since 2012 a lecturer for energy efficiency at the University of Stuttgart.
