Programmes and Projects: Energy Efficiency Guide for Industry in Asia - Results of the GERIAP Project

Website: www.energyefficiencyasia.org

This Guide is the main output of the three year project Greenhouse gas Emission Reduction from Industry in Asia and the Pacific (GERIAP) to assist Asian companies to become more energy and cost efficient through Cleaner Production. It has been developed for Asian companies who want to improve energy efficiency through Cleaner Production and for stakeholders who want to help them.

The Guide includes a methodology, case studies for more than 40 Asian companies in 5 industry sectors, technical information for 25 energy equipments, training materials, a contact and information database, and much more...

Sections include:

• Where do you start
• How to become energy efficient
• Industry Sectors
• Energy Equipment For various different types of electrical and thermal energy equipment, this section provides technical information, options for energy conservation, training materials, case studies, and useful contacts. You can also find out about the different monitoring instruments available to assess the efficiency of various types of energy equipment.
• Tools Several tools are available if you want to improve energy efficiency, train your workforce, or look for useful contacts or information. You can also download information in 5 Asian languages.

In particular the site includes Training materials covering:

• Company Energy Efficiency Methodology
• Climate Change
• Energy equipment
• Industry Sectors
• Financing
• Barriers to Energy Efficiency

and case studies covering:

• nine Asian Countries: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam
• Energy equipment: Electrical, Thermal and Monitoring Equipment
• Industry sectors: Pulp and paper, ceramics, iron and steel, chemicals, cement

More than 40 companies from the cement, chemicals, ceramics, iron & steel and pulp & paper sectors participated in the project in nine Asian countries.

The GERIAP project components included:

• Capacity building: National Focal Points (NFPs) and participating companies received training on how to apply CP to identify energy efficiency options for main energy uses in industry
• Demonstration of CP and energy efficiency: CP assessments to find ways to improve energy efficiency were carried out at the participating companies. Options that were technically feasibly, financially attractive and reduced energy and GHG emissions were implemented, resulting in sector specific case studies.
• Survey of barriers to energy efficiency: Why do some companies improve energy efficiency and others not? A survey assessed the financial, technical, cultural and other factors affecting businesses, resulting in proposed solutions to overcome the most important regional and national barriers in Asia.
