This book does not give a prediction of what the efficiency will be
of the energy use of industrial processes in the future. However,
it does give an exploration of limits to the efficiency of current
processes and an indication of what might be achieved if new
technologies can be developed. At the Department of Science,
Technology and Society of Utrecht University research had been done
to the opportunities for improvement of the energy efficiency in
the short term since the 1980's. This had resulted in a
comprehensive database on energy efficient measures. This database
and a possible application are described in Chapter 3 of this book.
The use of the database induced new research themes around
efficiency improvement, e.g. concerning barriers for implementation
of measures. It was around 1993 that I did a preliminary study to
the potential for efficiency improvement in the long term.
Historical analysis had shown us that the short term potential
stayed constant over the years. It seemed to be replenished by the
introduction of new technologies. This lead to the question whether
there are limits to the efficiency, taking into account both
thermodynamic considerations and ideas on the development and
dissemination of new technologies.
