Table 1.5 Specific Energy Consumption of Heavy Industry
Industry
Specific Energy
Consumption ( GJ / Ton )
Steel 2,80 – 37,10
Aluminum 11,95 – 85,19
Textile 3,20 – 32,40
Cement 2,20 – 7,90
Pulp and Paper

10,70 – 34,30
In Table 1.5, it is clear that the specific energy
consumption of pulp and paper industry is quite high,
equivalent to the steel industry and the range of low energy
consumption close to the aluminum industry which both of
them are heavy industries. With that such a high energy
consumption, and its main energy source of fossil fuels, it is
clearly that carbon emission cannot be avoided. But the
best efforts can be done to improve the efficiency and
energy saving (Miner, 2007).
Energy saving opportunities that can be compared
with other industries can be seen in Table 1.6. The amount
of carbon emission from pulp and paper industry as well as
prediction of reduction by the year 2030, relative to other
heavy industry can be seen in Table 1.7, and direct or
indirect emission carbon detail can be seen in Table 1.8.
