The document discusses opportunities for reducing energy consumption and costs in Bangladesh's jute industry. It notes that the industry consists of 205 mills producing around 663,000 metric tons of jute goods annually. Significant energy savings of up to 2924 MWh/year and $1.2 million annually are possible through upgrading older machines, improving maintenance practices, installing variable frequency drives and other technologies. Reducing energy use would lower production costs and generate carbon credits for the industry. Future work could include detailed energy audits, staff training, and design upgrades to optimize energy efficiency and working conditions in jute mills.
CDM Scope for Jute Industry in Bangladesh
- 1. CDM Opportunity in Jute Industry of Bangladesh Jute Industry Scenario  At present there are 205 units of jute mills in Bangladesh  Among them 81 units are under Bangladesh Jute Spinners Association (BJSA), 97 units are under Bangladesh Jute Mills Association (BJMA) and 27 units are under Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC).  Average Production of jute goods are 6,63,000 Metric tons/year  Average internal consumption of Jute goods are 89,000 Metric tons (Includes both yarn/twine & sacking/hessian)  Average power consumption is 400-600 kWh/ Metric tons/production Typical Machines Used in Jute Mills Machine Purpose of Use Energy Saving Techniques Improvement of Production Softener Machine Softening and Splitting up of jute fiber Use of conveyer belts in the softening section 10-406 kg Carding Machine Splitting and removing extraneous matters Use of roll-feed breaker 31-103 kg Drawing Machine (1st ,2nd 3rd ) Blending, Equalizing silver of the fiber Use of Superior grade gear box 5-61 kg Spinning Machine Slivers elongate and fibers twisting into yarn Adjusting baxter flyer in the spinning frame 0.7-57 kg Winding Machine Yarn to spools and cops for beaming and weaving operations Installation of variable frequency drives (VFD) 41-209 kg Beaming Machine For warping yearn Using PLC Controlled inverter drive 10-240 kg Weaving Machine Insertion of warp and weft yarn Improved weaving looms 0.8-5 kg Calendaring Machine Cutting and Bundling Using Abrasion and Corrosion less machines 790-1187 kg Energy Wastage Field  Old and primitive machines running beyond usual functional period consumes unnecessary energy  Machine maintenance based on poor ‘breakdown method’  Machines capacity underutilization specially in weaving section
- 2. ï‚· Lack of uninterrupted electricity supply tends to set up back captive power ï‚· Less efficient motor drive, transmission of motion, spindle an assembly and building mechanism Energy Saving Benefits ï‚· Opportunity of achieving carbon credit by reducing CO2 equivalent emission (Approx: 1671ton/year) and earning green industry badge through energy savings (Savings up to 2924MWh/year) ï‚· Reduction of fuel cost (1-5 per cent of the total production cost) would reduce overall production cost. ï‚· Saving of electricity cost up to Tk. 1.2 core per year. (In case of national grid supply) ï‚· Using gas-based generators would save range between Tk. 0.34 crore to Tk. 0.63 crore. (In case of Captive Power Generation) ï‚· Production capacity improvement by using efficient technique Scope of Work for Future Carbon ï‚· Earning Carbon Credit through CDM project and Carbon Footprint Assessment related activities ï‚· Conducting energy audit to identify necessary scope for energy use and energy conservation in machine and process ï‚· Electrical survey and analysis for taking corrective measures in efficient energy management system ï‚· Consultation service regarding machines, work environment, size of workforce, machine replacement and production process ï‚· Training service to make the engineers, staffs and technicians convinced to understand the changes required in the machine maintenance and production activities ï‚· Efficient energy saving/improving design concept particularly putting attention to maintain the proper level of humidity, light, air, sound and dust in production premise References 1. http://www.bjmc.gov.bd/ 2. http://www.dskbangladesh.org/Ecological%20and%20economic%20attributes%20of%20Jut e.pdf, Page-25 3. http://www.bhowmickjutemachinery.com/ 4.
