4. CONCLUDING REMERKS

Japan is pressed to promote energy conservation activities toward the achievement of the Kyoto emission target.
HiCOT is the most effective measures to reduce energy consumption of the industrial furnaces.
HiCOT is being applied to other combustors such as pulverized coal boilers, incinerators and steam reformers, and we are looking for further applications.
