Description:
Project aim:
Improvement of production quality and production management; reduction of energy costs and CO2/ SO2 emissions.
Project description:
A range of various new technologies was provided within the framework of the German-Thai project for promoting energy efficiency. For example, a new German kiln model was introduced to help modernise the very obsolete equipment and production methods used in the Thai ceramics industry. The new kilns are helping to enhance production quality and production management and reduce energy costs. Over a five-year period in this technology-transfer project, training seminars and workshops were carried out, and a training handbook was prepared, in order to familiarise companies with the new production methods. The new kilns have reduced primary energy consumption by 73% and energy costs by 70%. Since the first kiln was introduced, more than 1,500 ceramics kilns have been installed and are now providing major reductions in CO2 emissions. This successful technology has also been introduced in Vietnam, the Philippines, India and Brazil, and it is also contributing significantly to CO2-emissions reductions in these countries.
