a review on energy saving strategies in Industrial Sector
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2011Co-Authors: E A Abdelaziz, R Saidur, Saad MekhilefAbstract:An Industrial Sector uses more energy than any other end-use Sectors and currently this Sector is consuming about 37% of the world's total delivered energy. Energy is consumed in the Industrial Sector by a diverse group of industries including manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction and for a wide range of activities, such as processing and assembly, space conditioning, and lighting. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review about Industrial energy saving by management, technologies and policies. Latest literatures in terms of thesis (MS and PhD), journal articles, conference proceedings, web materials, reports, books, handbooks on Industrial energy management, policies and energy savings strategies have been compiled. Energy saving by management including energy audit, training programs and housekeeping beside some energy management practices in the world has been reviewed. Energy saving technologies, such as use of high efficiency motors (HEMs), variable speed drives (VSDs), economizers, leak prevention and reducing pressure drop has been reviewed. Based on energy saving technologies results, it has been found that in the Industrial Sectors, a sizeable amount of electric energy, emissions and utility bill can be saved using these technologies. Payback periods for different energy savings measures have been identified and found to be economically viable in most cases. Finally, various energy-saving policies for few selected countries were reviewed.

energy and electricity consumption analysis of malaysian Industrial Sector
2009Co-Authors: R Saidur, Saad Mekhilef, M Husnawan, H H Masjuki, M I Jahirul, T M I Mahlia, A R Nasruddin, Hew Wooi Ping, M F ZamaluddinAbstract:Malaysia has been experiencing strong economic growth through the last decade. Energy has been a key input in the development and growth of the country. The Industrial Sector is the second largest consumers of energy in Malaysia. In the present work sixty-four (64) factories in seven different manufacturing Sectors were audited within the four regions of east-coast of Malaysia. In this audit, the most important parameters that have been collected are; power rating and operation time of energy consuming equipment/machinery; fossil fuel and other sources of energy consumption; production figure; peak and off peak tariff usage behavior; and power factor. These data were analyzed to investigate the breakdown of end-use equipment/machinery, the peak and off peak usage behavior, power factor trend, specific energy consumption and specific electricity consumption. The result of the energy audit shows that the highest energy consuming equipment is electric motor followed by liquid pumps and air compressor. The highest specific total energy (fossil fuel and electricity) consumption among the Industrial sub-Sectors is found in the rubber producing industries followed by fabricated metal industries, while the highest specific electrical energy consumption was found in the fabricated metal industries followed by rubber producing industries. The specific energy and electricity consumptions found in the present study are compared with Indonesian Industrial Sectors and presented in thin paper. The study also found that the 64% electrical energy was consumed in peak hours by the industries and average power factor ranged from 0.88 to 0.91. The energy audit in this study can be important tools and approaches for the policy maker to get insight into the energy and electricity uses pattern of Malaysian Industrial Sector.

economic development and multiple air pollutant emissions from the Industrial Sector
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016Co-Authors: Hidemichi Fujii, Shunsuke ManagiAbstract:This study analyzed the relationship between economic growth and emissions of eight environmental air pollutants (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur oxide (SOx), carbon monoxide (CO), non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC), and ammonia (NH3)) in 39 countries from 1995 to 2009. We tested an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for 16 individual industry Sectors and for the total Industrial Sector. The results clarified that at least ten individual industries do not have an EKC relationship in eight air pollutants even though this relationship was observed in the country and total Industrial Sector level data. We found that the key industries that dictated the EKC relationship in the country and the total Industrial Sector existed in CO2, N2O, CO, and NMVOC emissions. Finally, the EKC turning point and the relationship between economic development and trends of air pollutant emissions differ among industries according to the pollution substances. These results suggest inducing new environmental policy design such as the Sectoral crediting mechanism, which focuses on the Industrial characteristics of emissions.

an analysis of the driving forces of energy related carbon dioxide emissions in china s Industrial Sector
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015Co-Authors: Xiaoling Ouyang, Boqiang LinAbstract:Both energy consumption and the growth of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in China are attributed to the Industrial Sector. Energy conservation and CO2 emissions reduction in China’s Industrial Sector is decisive for achieving a low-carbon transition. We analyze the change of energy-related CO2 emissions in China’s Industrial Sector from 1991 to 2010 based on the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method. Results indicate that Industrial activity is the major factor that contributes to the increase of Industrial CO2 emissions while energy intensity is the major contributor to the decrease of CO2 emissions. Industry size shows a varying trend interchanging intervals of growth along the study period. Moreover, both energy mix and carbon intensity of energy use have negative effects on the increase of CO2 emissions. The cointegration method is adopted to further explore determinants of CO2 emissions in China’s Industrial Sector. Results show that there exists a long-run relationship between Industrial CO2 emissions and affecting factors such as CO2 emissions per unit of energy consumption, Industrial value added, labor productivity and fossil fuel consumption. China’s Industrial CO2 emissions are mainly attributed to the coal-dominated energy structure. Policy suggestions are thus provided to reduce Industrial CO2 emissions in China.

energy savings potential in china s Industrial Sector from the perspectives of factor price distortion and allocative inefficiency
Energy Economics, 2015Co-Authors: Xiaoling OuyangAbstract:China's Industrial energy consumption accounted for 70.82% of national and 14.12% of world energy usage in 2011. In the context of energy scarcity and environmental pollution, the Industrial Sector in China faces unsustainable growth problems. By adopting the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) framework, this paper analyzes the factor allocative efficiency of China's Industrial Sector, and estimates the energy savings potential from the perspective of allocative inefficiency. This paper focuses on three issues. The first is examining the factor allocative inefficiency of China's Industrial Sector. The second is measuring factor price distortion by the shadow price model. The third is estimating the energy savings potential in China's Industrial Sector during 2001–2009. Major conclusions are thus drawn. First, factor prices of capital, labor and energy are distorted in China due to government regulations. Moreover, energy price is relatively low compared to capital price, while is relatively high compared to labor price. Second, the industry-wide energy savings potential resulted from energy allocative inefficiency was about 9.71% during 2001–2009. The downward trend of energy savings potential implies the increasing energy allocative efficiency in China's Industrial Sector. Third, a transparent and reasonable pricing mechanism is conducive to improving energy allocative efficiency.
