ABSTRACT
The petroleum refining industry in the United States is the largest in the world, providing
inputs to virtually any economic sector, including the transport sector and the chemical
industry. The industry operates 146 refineries (as of January 2004) around the country,
employing over 65,000 employees. The refining industry produces a mix of products with a
total value exceeding $151 billion. Refineries spend typically 50% of cash operating costs
(.,, excluding capital costs and depreciation) on energy, making energy a major cost factor
and also an important opportunity for cost reduction. Energy use is also a major source of
emissions in the refinery industry making energy efficiency improvement an attractive
opportunity to redu
