Summary

Across all industries, energy-saving issues are taking center stage as there is a focus on reducing energy consumption to mitigate the impact the industrial sector has on energy consumption and subsequent emission of harmful greenhouse gasses including carbon dioxide (CO2).

According to a group of global researchers, led by Dr. Reza Alayi and Professor Mohsen Sharifpur Islamic Azad University, Iran and the University of Pretoria, South Africa, respectively, combined heat and power (CHP) would offer an efficient way to reduce energy consumption in various sectors.

“The combination of heat and electricity recovers heat energy lost during power generation, unlike conventional systems where heat is simply transferred to the environment,” explains Alayi. Thus, finding a system that suitably offers a way to reduce energy waste in the industry could also help reduce costs and overall fuel consumption.

The textile industry retains a record as the lowest efficiency in energy utilization and is one of the main energy-consuming industries.
