Energy is the most important cost factor in the U.S petrochemical industry, defined in this guide as the chemical industry sectors producing large volume basic and intermediate organic chemicals as well as large volume plastics. The sector spent about $10 billion on fuels and electricity in 2004. Energy efficiency improvement is an important way to reduce these costs and to increase predictable earnings, especially in times of high energy price volatility. There are a variety of opportunities available at individual plants in the U.S. petrochemical industry to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner. This Energy Guide discusses energy efficiency practices and energy efficient technologies that can be implemented at the component, process, facility, and organizational levels. A discussion of the trends, structure, and energy consumption characteristics of the petrochemical industry is provided along with a description of the major process technologies used within the industry. Next, a wide variety of energy efficiency measures are described. Many measure descriptions include expected savings in energy and energy-related costs, based on case study data from real-world applications in the petrochemical and related industries worldwide. Typical measure payback periods and references to further information in the technical literature are also provided, when available. The information in this Energy Guide is intended to help energy and plant managers in the U.S. petrochemical industry reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner while maintaining the quality of products manufactured. Further research on the economics of all measures-and on their applicability to different production practices-is needed to assess their cost effectiveness at individual plants.

IntroductionThe last 200 years have witnessed an incredible increase in energy use worldwide. In recent decades, it has become clear that the way in which this energy is supplied is unsustainable and both short-and long-term energy security are at the top of the political and societal agenda. Scenario studies, which chart possible futures, typically show small incremental changes against a "business-as-usual" (BAU) reference. In contrast, evidence suggests that we should be able to meet our energy demand entirely from renewable sources, given their abundance: Global final energy use was ~310 EJ in 2007 (~500 EJ in primary energy terms) [1], whereas technical potentials for renewable energy sources range in the order of hundreds to thousands of exajoules per year.In an attempt to reconcile these figures, the Ecofys energy scenario provides a comprehensive analysis, examining all energy uses worldwide, all carrier forms (e.g., electricity or fuel), and all purposes (heat in buildings or heat in industry).The key question which guided our study was: "Is a fully sustainable global energy system possible by 2050?"We conclude that an (almost) fully sustainable energy supply is technically and economically feasible, given ambitious, but realistic, growth rates of sustainable energy sources. The path to achieving this system deviates significantly from BAU and sometimes difficult choices must be made on the way. The work presented in this chapter is an adapted version of a larger report published in 2011, and subsequent scientific publications [2][3][4].
