GHG Management

FENC enhances energy management with various reduction measures to curtail carbon emissions and mitigate global warming.

Measures and Performance in Energy Saving and Emission Reduction

FENC’s ongoing efforts in promoting energy and emission reduction measures continued in 2023 with 120 energy and emission reduction projects implemented, which averted 77,701 tCO2e in GHG emissions. The energy reduction projects focused mainly on low-carbon fuel alternatives, including the replacement of coal-water slurry boilers with the natural gas models, and using biomass instead of coal as production fuels. The secondary focus was on the enhancement of energy efficiency through production and equipment improvement. Meanwhile, capacity utilization of all production lines was evaluated to determine dated equipment to be replaced.

Note:
1. The estimate of energy efficiency is compared against the energy consumption with original production process and equipment prior to project implementation.
2. The calculation of calorific value is based on the factors of calorific value from all production sites.

3. Scope 1 emission sources are coal, coal-water slurry, and natural gas; scope 2 emission sources are purchased electricity and purchased steam.
4. The emission factor of each energy source is based on the externally verified emission factor from each production site, including plant-specific / mass balance factors and those released by the local government.

5. GHGs avoided include CO2, CH4, N2O.

6. The focus of projects under Low-Carbon Fuel Alternative and New Renewable Energy Source is replacing high-emission energy sources with low-emission ones. The reduction in energy consumption is not calculated.

Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Project Highlights in 2023

Production Site

Project and Performance

Kuanyin Chemical Fiber Plant

Replacement of coal-water slurry with natural gas fuels: The replacement of coal-water slurry boilers with natural gas models reduces 22,667 tCO2e of carbon emissions annually.

FEIS-Petrochemical Business

Steam turbine retrofit in the air compressor system: Improvements were made to the steam turbine of the air compressor to increase the ability in steam recovery, and capture the byproduct steam for power generation. The improvement reduces annual electricity consumption by approximately 7.22 GWh, which translates to approximately NT$25.41 million in financial benefits and 3,034 tCO2e in emission reduction annually.

Plant 2 of OPTC

Back-pressure steam turbine power generation: The back-pressure steam turbine generator unit is installed to capture and convert energy loss into electricity. The improvement reduces annual electricity consumption by approximately 6.3 GWh, which leads to approximately NT$18.22 million in savings and reduces carbon emissions by 3,120 tCO2e annually.

Kuanyin Dyeing and Finishing Plant

Boiler replacement: The project has increased operational efficiency, reducing 433,000 cubic meters in natural gas consumption, approximately NT$4.46 million in costs and 965 tCO2e in carbon emissions annually.

A total of 38 energy and emission reduction projects from 2023 are still underway. Once completed, they are expected to cut carbon emissions by 30,928 tCO2e annually.
