Abstract
- The P&P (pulp and paper) industry in Taiwan is highly energy intensive and there is much product diversification. Taiwan has extremely limited coal and petroleum resources and imports 98% of its energy supply. Increased energy utilization efficiency to reduce energy consumption is necessary for industry in order to implement energy audit recommendations. This work summarizes the energy-saving potential of 118 firms from 2009 to 2013 as determined by on-site energy audits, as well as the energy savings implemented in 2011 by 72 firms in Taiwan's P&P industry, according to data from the on-line Energy Declaration System. It is found that the total of the energy-saving potential and the implemented energy savings are 168.3 and 762.1 TJ, respectively. The results of this study can serve as a reference for current P&P operations and as a base case for stimulating changes in energy utilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
