Description:
Growing concern in Taiwan has arisen about energy consumption and its adverse environmental impact. The current situation of energy conservation in high energy-consuming industries in Taiwan, including the iron and steel, chemical, cement, pulp and paper, textiles and electric/electrical industries has been presented. Since the energy consumption of the top 100 energy users (T100) comprised over 50% of total industry energy consumption, focusing energy consumption reduction efforts on T100 energy users can achieve significant results. This study conducted on-site energy audits of 314 firms in Taiwan during 2000-2004, and identified potential electricity savings of 1,022,656MWH, fuel oil savings of 174,643kiloliters (KL), steam coal savings of 98,620ton, and natural gas (NG) savings of 10,430 kilo cubic meters. The total potential energy saving thus was 489,505KL of crude oil equivalent (KLOE), representing a reduction of 1,447,841ton in the carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide absorption capacity of a 39,131-ha plantation forest.
