Abstract
The cement industry represents one of the most energy intensive sectors in Taiwan. Energy audits are the direct tools which are employed to help reduce energy consumption. The objectives of energy audits are to establish energy audit systems, provide on-site energy audit service and reduce production cost. This study summarized the energy savings implemented in Taiwan's cement industry; the data were obtained from the on-line Energy Declaration System in 2010. The total implemented energy savings amounted to 68,512 kilo liter of crude oil equivalent (KLOE). The energy audit group audited seven Taiwanese cement plants in 2011 and revealed an energy saving potential of 2571.6Â MWh of electricity and 1002.8Â KLOE of thermal energy. The total potential energy saving was 1708.5Â KL of crude oil equivalent (KLOE), equivalent to a 4560Â t reduction in CO2 emissions, representing the annual CO2 absorption capacity of a 122Â ha forest plantation.
