Increasing worldwide energy demand and diminishing supplies of fossil fuels have necessitated the development and increasing use of new sustainable energy sources, as well as more parsimonious energy use. In the context of agriculture, research has focused predominantly on the production of...

Germany produces more steel than any other European country (42.7Mt steel in 2012). The steel production accounts for 22% of Germany's final industrial energy consumption. We assessed the potential of 32 identified energy conservation measures by deriving fuel, electricity and CO2 conservation...

China's annual cement production (i.e., 1868Mt) in 2010 accounted for nearly half of the world's annual cement production in the same year. We identified and analyzed 23 energy efficiency technologies and measures applicable to the processes in China's cement industry. The Conservation Supply...

China's annual crude steel production in 2010 was 638.7 Mt accounting for nearly half of the world's annual crude steel production in the same year. Around 461 TWh of electricity and 14,872 PJ of fuel were consumed to produce this quantity of steel. We identified and analyzed 23 energy...
