Energy efficiency in the South African clay brick industry

This report presents the results of an energy study carried out on the clay brick industry of South Africa. The clay brick industry consumed approximately 38 PJ of energy in 1995, about 5% of manufacturing energy consumptions and had an energy intensity five times the average for the manufacturing sector. This combined with the uniform nature of the output and the fragmented nature of the industry made the clay brick industry an appropriate choice for the energy study.
