This is the reason why, since 1975, the Commission has been stimulating universities, industries and national laboratories of the EC Member States to perform R&D work aimed at energy saving. In spite of the temporary fall in oil prices, energy-saving measures will continue to remain imperative, as resources will continue to diminish rapidly. Research, development and demonstration effort in this area must therefore be maintained. In this context, the Commission of the European Communities organized an International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Process Technology, with the participation of the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources, the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, the European Chemical Industry Council, the Aluminium of Greece and Eurotherm. The Conference objective was to provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of recent R&D relevant to energy efficiency, taking into account environmental aspects, in the energy-intensive process industries. A wide range of industrial sectors was covered, including new processes and equipment. Projects carried out within the present European Community JOULE Programme were included. The following is a partial list of topics addressed: • Chemical Reactors • Heat Exchangers • Separation Processes • Furnaces, Kilns and Ovens • Combustion • Process Integration • Dynamic Simulation and Batch Processes • Exergy Analysis • Thermodynamic Cycles • Efficient Production and Use of Electricity • Sensors and Instrumentation P.
