Today,
one of the most important issues in the world is that the concentration of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is the fundamental reason for global
warming exhibits a severe increase in every passing year. It is a general view
that the most crucial step to succeed in mitigation carbon emissions is the
reduction of energy consumption. In this study, production and energy
consumption data only for year 2016 of an industrial textile factory in Turkey
were employed to explore carbon emission mitigation potential through energy
efficiency. The research consists of three steps listed as i) data collection,
ii) data processing and iii) data evaluation. Energy saving potential of the
industry has been determined with the help of the energy consumption relations
developed depending on data obtained from the factory by calculating the target
energy consumption for year 2017 and beyond. Also, the amount of reduction in
carbon emissions stemming from the amount of fuel saved thanks to energy
efficiency has been calculated. Energy saving potential for 2017 and later
years was found 98.9 TOE per year and also due to these saving, the amount of
the reduction in CO2 emissions of the factory will totally be 2.75
million-tones CO2 in comparison to year 2016. It is also seen that
financial savings will be approximately € 28,646.06 for the year 2017 and later
years.
