The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global
Environment Facility have recently introduced an energy efficient,
smokeless brick-making technology to curb greenhouse gas emissions in
Bangladesh, where the economy has been growing five to six percent
annually for the past 15 years. Designed to replace the current, highly
pollutant technology, the new technique named Hoffman Kiln was
originally developed in Germany, modified in China and remodeled to
adapt to the Bangladeshi needs, resulting in an even more energy
efficient and cost-effective kiln.
With a construction industry that grows faster than its GDP, Bangladesh has no other option except making the brick making technology efficient and eco-friendly," said Khondker Rahman, who manages UNDP's Improving Kiln Efficiency in the Brick Making Industry project.
In the booming construction industry spurred by Bangladesh's rapid urbanization, the brick making industry remains largely unregulated and unmonitored. Every year 8.6 billion, bricks are produced here, and the demand is rising steadily at about 5.28 percent per year.
