Industrial Energy Efficiency
We are informing the development of new manufacturing tools that lower the energy intensity of growing economies.
Overview
Next-generation manufacturing has the potential to strengthen the economy. We conduct decision analysis support and develop analytical tools designed to enable the identification, development and deployment of technologies and strategies that have the potential to:
- Improve energy-water-materials efficiency
- Reduce emissions
- Enhance competitiveness across various sectors in the industrial economy
Examples of ongoing projects include strategic analysis support for U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office, development and maintenance of the Lifecycle Industry GreenHouse gas, Technology and Energy through the Use Phase (LIGHTEnUP) tool, scenario analysis modeling of emerging water desalination technologies, and energy use modeling for the U.S. data center sector.
