Energy efficiency improvement potentials through energy benchmarking in pulp and paper industry

This study aims to highlight the energy improvement potentials of Pakistan's paper sector that is one most intensive industries by benchmarking its specific consumption (SEC) produce a similar grade paper. To address issues such as lack indicators for efficiency in industry. Furthermore, saving potential was estimated comparison with United Kingdom and Canada, where benchmarks have already been established data on readily available. accounts 75% total utilized industry compared UK Canada sectors up-to-date energy-saving techniques are used. The calculation shows when utilizes an additional 1.3 MWh every tonne produced. With yearly production 314,549 metric tonnes, this equates 408,913 overall annual use. It concluded if proposed benchmark applied within country's mill comparison, savings 16.4% Pakistan can be achieved. also shown implementation best available used could result 43% consumed sector.
