Evaluating renewable thermal energy options for textile and garments sectors in Bangladesh and Pakistan - Prefeasibility study

Most country energy production is primarily dependant on fossil fuel, which is also true for thermal energy generation or industrial process heat. Alternatively, renewable fuel - biomass fuel or solar based thermal energy generation is considered to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emission by substituting the use of fossil fuel. GIZ FABRIC in collaboration with H&M has conducted a prefeasibility study on replacing fossil fuel based thermal energy generation with renewable fuel (biomass, solar etc.) in textile and garments sector in Bangladesh and Pakistan. The goal of the study was to identify potentials to reduce the GHG emissions with the focus on renewable energy resources. Under this study renewable fuel market of Bangladesh and Pakistan and alternative renewable sources for boilers or thermal application or process heat have been assessed and suitable renewable thermal energy options have been evaluated.
