Transcript Energy efficiency in textile and clothing production: an experience

Energy efficiency in textile and
clothing production: an
experience from Macedonia
Euro-Mediterranean Conference on Digital integration, energy and
resource efficiency: opportunities in textile and clothing value
chains across the Euro-Mediterranean Area
27-28 April 2015, Kraków, Poland
Energy is a key problem of the future – a
question of life and death. The current
energy sources are unreliable and
poisonous to the planet. We might survive
poisoning, but there will come a day when
these energy sources will dry up and
vanish.

Macedonian industry and EE
• Macedonian industry accounts for
more than a third of the country’s
primary energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions.
• It accounts for more than 28
percent of GDP and 30 percent of
the labor force.
• Ensuring sustained energy
efficiency and performance
improvement are key to industry
success.
Policies and regulations on EE
•
National Energy Strategy 2010 until 2030
The objective of the Strategy is restructuring of the energy sector based on
market economy principles and developing a modern energy policy.
• EE Strategy 2010-2020
Implementation of energy efficiency measures in the public, commercial,
industrial and residential sector.
• National Energy Action Plan 2010-2018
The main goal of EE Action plan is achieving 9% savings in the final energy
consumption until 2018.
• Energy Law 2011, amended 2012, 2013 and 2014.
• Rulebooks on Energy Audit and Energy Performance of
Buildings - adopted in 2013.
Current financial status
• Energy Efficiency Fund is in the final stages of foundation but has not been
established yet.
• Undeveloped EE services and financing mechanisms under the energy saving
performance contracting (ESPC).
• Only construction companies, design institutes and energy consultants are
providing the basic lines of EE services.
• Lack of wide range of EE service providers as well as lack of financial resources.
• The public sector and municipalities are not creditworthy to undertake various
projects using the Energy Saving Companies model of repayments from the ES.
• Lack of expertise for preparing bankable EE projects.
• General information on financial instruments is very limited.
Available projects in TCI
• USAID Industrial Management project 2013-2016
Overall objective: Improve Macedonia’s competitiveness and energy
security and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
How will do it: through the introduction of systematic approach to
energy management in the industrial sector – promote and implement
ISO 50001 standard for Energy management system and assist private
companies in developing bankable EE upgrade projects
Expected results:
-Reduction of energy use, combined with fuel
switching to local and less expensive sources.
-Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
-Reduced dependence on foreign fuel and
energy imports
- INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
TTA – Cluster activities in field of EE
• A part of EURATEX project - produced brochure for
energy efficiency
Goal: increasing apparel companies awareness for
saving energy.
Results: eliminating waste of money, human
resources, materials, and time.
• Project ELEM for energy efficiency in area of lighting
in apparel production capacities.
Goal: Replacement of regular fluorescent tube bulbs
lighting to led diode lighting in purpose of energy
saving and workers protection.
Results: Jobs can be done in less time, at reduced
cost, with enhanced safety, and greater ease.
Available financing instruments
• Credit lines by the financial institutions:
– World Bank - Providing support to the municipalities for implementation
of energy efficient projects, and raising public awareness.
– KfW Bank loan - financing the development of renewable energies, such
as electricity and heat from the ground, sun, wind and water.
– WeBSFF - Western Balkan Sustainable Energy Financing Facility for SMEs
and public sector.
– EBRD - loans to boost energy efficiency and support competitiveness of
Macedonian companies.
• Credit Line by the local banks and Macedonian Bank for Development
Promotion.
• Grants / Donors
