Abstract

The study highlights the greenhouse gas emissions by various top U.S. industries while meeting their need for thermal energy (heat) and potential for reduction in their carbon foot print by using possible clean energy alternatives such as nuclear energy. Most industries vary in their production and usage of thermal energy, which is shown by detailed process diagram, and some have a combined heat and power system, which generally provides mid- to high-quality of steam. The paper focuses on these detailed processes, and associated requirement and emissions entailed from these process with opportunities in reduction of carbon emission.
