International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 24 Number 1- June 2015 Reduction of Carbon Emission by Using Green Bricks: Bangladesh Perspective Debojit Sarker1, Md. Khairul Hasan Khan2, Md. Moynur Rahman3, Sumit Saha4, Dr. Rowshan Mamtaz5 1,4 Graduate Student, 2MSc Student, 3Junior Engineer, 5Professor, 1, 2, 4, 5 Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh 3 Oriental Consultants Co. Ltd, Dhaka, Bangladesh Abstract— Carbon emanations are the most despicable aspect of the present world. What's more, advancements of the created world are contributing most to this worldwide marvel of high-carbon discharges. Advancement of vitality proficient hello there tech is vital to build profitability in the modern area furthermore lessening of carbon discharges. Bangladesh is the best place in South Asia for venture, and in such manner we need to develop green-innovation for more productive and less polluting modern procedures. The expression "innovation" alludes to the use of information for useful purposes and the field of "green innovation" envelops a persistently advancing gathering of routines and materials, from strategies for creating vitality to non-lethal cleaning items. Bangladesh is as yet pondering issues like illicit brick kilns, utilization of kindling for brick preparing, brickfields on cropland and the loss of top soil and cutting of slopes faulted for brick producing. An extensive number of brick kilns absence of standard level as needed by the related law while numerous others don't have the clearances from the Bureau of Environment (BoE). Bricks are being made in these furnaces by blazing kindling. Moreover, the smoke discharged from brick kilns causes respiratory issues and asthma in youngsters and elderly individuals in adjacent regions. As per an UNDP review, these brickfields reason air contamination, land corruption and deforestation. Brick makers are significant polluters, yet today there is a cleaner option going ahead stream called green bricks. Bangladesh has received smokeless brick making innovation presented by the UN Advancement Program. The creative innovation that is being utilized to supplant the current exceptionally old framework will make brick fabricating more environment-accommodating in Bangladesh. This innovation requires less human intercession than the conventional. Lower loss of kindling, less utilization of coal, low interest for mud, low human intercession and so on are the diverse great sides to green brick fabricating. In the wake of exhibiting such certainties in regards to conventional brick framework, the paper additionally inspects the probability of green brick innovation with points of interest. This paper additionally sharpens the individuals by making mindfulness against conventional kilns and makes the innovation basically accessible to the brick producers and along these lines serves to advance the utilization of green bricks. Keywords— Carbon emission, Green technology, Green brick, Sustainable development, Bangladesh. ISSN: 2231-5381 I. INTRODUCTION In a large portion of the Asian nations the craftsmanship and investigation of green brick making is frequently the most ignored however most critical part of accomplishing efficiently great quality let go bricks and other ceramic items. The craft of brick making has been kept casually inside of families and has been gone on to eras through customary information. There has been no recorded endeavour to exchange the craftsmanship and exploration of this part of brick making ability to "pariahs" in an investigative and methodical way. Subsequently, until today, with the exception of the rehearsing decays, numerous expert brick making business visionaries know almost no about the best green brick creation practices and the reasons thereof. It additionally manages the fundamental learning and comprehension the art of the whole process, from soil determination to making an item prepared for terminating. This paper means to present the certainty how this imperilled environment of Bangladesh can be spared by the mass utilization of green brick innovation. This article is separated into four sections: the first part contains the examination procedure utilized as a part of this work; in second part dialog on conventional brick making industry in Bangladesh. In the following part, there is exchange displayed on the possibility of the green brick innovation. The last part comprises of finish of this exploration took after by discoveries. II. CUSTOMARY BRICK MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY IN BANGLADESH Bangladesh is the 8th biggest crowded nation with 160 million individuals. Every year 3,00,000 to 4,00,000 provincial individuals move in Dhaka. The current individuals and new vagrants need lodging office. At present in our nation the every year obliged asylum changes from 3 lakh to 5.5 lakh units. Bangladesh will need to develop pretty nearly four million new houses yearly to suit the developing populace. Fast urbanization in the nation has made a blasting development industry and prodded the generation of 8.6 billion bricks every year, with interest for the bricks ascending at a yearly rate of http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 15 International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 24 Number 1- June 2015 around 5.28 percent (UNDP; 2011). Bangladesh has number, actual should be at least 15% higher. Most around 6,000 approved brickfields and various illicit brick fields have set up 25-feet tin chimney stacks set ones. The unlawful brickfields don't have fitting assets up of 120-feet ones, resisting government rules. In the to run and legitimate permit to keep the fields into brick furnaces smokes are wafting out of the track. The brickfields are ordinarily little free units smokestacks dirtying nature of the range. and work 24 hours amid the dry season. They are situated close towns or significant development As indicated by the Brick Kiln Control (altered) Act locales; i.e., Gabtali, Savar, Ashuliya, Keraniganj, (2001), there must be no foundation of brick kilns Narshingdi, Gazipur and Manikganj. In Dhaka, there inside of a three-kilometer range of human are around 4,500 brick kilns in operation, creating inhabitation and in addition organic product garden. around 9.0 billion bricks for each year. The biggest Be that as it may, absence of legitimate checking, brick making zone is on the north of Dhaka city, brickfields have sprung up like mushrooms and the where more than 1,000 brickfields are arranged. The circumstance has made a genuine risk to environment current innovation for terminating furnace are altered and biodiversity while the individuals in the stack kiln (FCK) and bull's trench furnace (BTK); neighboring regions face wellbeing risks and ripeness however last one is banned in Bangladesh contributes of ranches is going down. The brick kilns radiate 16% of generation. The primary crude materials lethal vapour containing suspended particulate matters utilized as a part of brick kilns to dry bricks are rich in carbon particles and high centralization of kindling and coal. If there should be an occurrence of carbon monoxides and oxides of sulphur (SOx) that inaccessibility of coal brick fields (around 33%) are unsafe to human health. utilization kindling illicitly to dry bricks. Therefore an extensive number of trees like Keora, chaila, sundari, mehguni, bain and so forth are being felled aimlessly. On the off chance that Bangladesh keeps up its current financial development rate, proceeded with utilization of this obsolete brick terminating innovation would raise the level of nursery gas outflows to 8.7 million tons by 2014 by utilizing coal as a part of the reason. Moreover, utilizing of kindling as a part of furnaces likewise brings about critical deforestation and this wood still record for around 25 percent of the fuel utilized as a part of Bangladesh's brick making kilns consistently. The division of environment said that the 4,000 brick kilns smoulder almost 20 lakh huge amounts of coal and another 20 lakh huge amounts of wood consistently to take care of the demand for 400 to 1200 tons of fuel. Request proposed that numerous brick makers set up their kilns close backwoods with the expectation to plain the woods illicitly. Another examination uncovers that specialists of the brick field cut numerous trees as well as assembled embankments to prevent water from entering its premises amid high tide which brings about sudden surge in the neighbouring ranges. Alongside this, individuals working in the brickfield in light of fatal air and poor water quality need to acknowledge a subhuman life. On a normal the labourers get 80 taka consistently for more than 12 hours of greatly hard or risky work. In Bangladesh there are three noteworthy wellsprings of air contamination; i.e. (a) vehicular emanation, (b) little commercial enterprises like brick kilns and different biomass inclinators and (c) re-suspended street dust. In assembling seasons of brick, October to Spring, contamination goes to crest in Dhaka and around the city relying upon the monsoonal downpours. The Figure 1 shows total number of brick kilns in Bangladesh in Brick-burning season 20052006 (GEF-UNDP Study, 2006). This is the minimum ISSN: 2231-5381 Figure 1. Number of Brick Kilns in Bangladesh (GEFUNDP Study, 2006) III. GREEN BRICK PRODUCTION The green brick generation procedure is the most essential perspective in any kind of brick making to accomplish quality and benefit. Every progression of the whole green brick generation framework is interlinked. Disregarding any one procedure will http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 16 International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 24 Number 1- June 2015 influence the last item quality. Soil excavation, soil the best possible procedure of pugging is not took storage, pugging process, moulding process, drying after then soil chunks of different sizes stay inside of and stacking, and sorting –are the steps for green brick the earth to be formed. This not just purposes splits in production (Saha & Rahman, 2013). the green bricks amid drying and terminating procedure (significant reason for breakage) A. Soil excavation additionally diminishes the quality of the let go bricks. In the wake of finishing the dirt quality for brick making through brick bats testing and pilot scale Both manual and automated pugging are by and generation trials the removal of the chose soil begins. large drilled for setting up the dirt for embellishment. The initial phase in this procedure is to cut the grass In manual pugging process, the dirt is uncovered and and do a general cleaning, uprooting all surface spread out on the ground, watered and left to douse vegetation and stones from the zone. The second step overnight. The blend of soil and water is then pugged is to unearth just the chose soil. On the off chance that physically by foot. In automated pugging, the sodden obliged evacuate soil that is keeping the uncovering of soil is uncovered from the store and bolstered chose soil. Convention and financial aspects straightforwardly into the pug factory while the characterizes the utilization of supplies for soil obliged water add up to accomplish the required removal. Generally for efficient reasons, these days consistency is included physically amid the pugging cutting edge and motorized machines are likewise procedure. By and large there is no institutionalized being utilized as a part of Bangladesh. Automation for practice for working this. Every site has its particular soil uncovering and additionally green brick blending qualities that will be vital to exploit. Different is gradually turning into an essential piece of green elements, for example, offices accessible at the site, brick making in Bangladesh. Brick business business person's longing, site geology and so forth visionaries are pulled in to automation because of must be used before pugging work begins. It is the different reasons basically because of human asset obligation of the business visionary to create efficient administration issue, high brick interest and rivalry and still proficient pugging practices at his site. among the brick business people for delivering quality D. Moulding process bricks. Moulding is the procedure where the pugged mud is B. Soil Storage put in a mold in request to shape indicated states of Albeit there are a few frameworks of crude material bricks. Trim is the procedure by which the readied soil stockpiling connected in profoundly motorized brick is framed into the state of a brick. There are two creation commercial enterprises, for Bangladesh, techniques for trim in particular manual and motorized. under the common brick generation circumstance, the The most widely recognized technique for most proper and savvy crude material stockpiling sort embellishment followed in Bangladesh is sand is the outside, longitudinal stockpile. The outside shaping. Motorized embellishment comprises of stockpiles are specifically presented to the climate; the squeezing and expulsion. Aside from these there are crude materials are then again dried out by the sun and more complex strategies for brick making e.g. immersed by downpour. mechanical squeezing, water powered squeezing and firm expulsion. The recent techniques are out of the The most suitable stockpiling sort is the 'Level top extent of dialog since they are outside the allotted store' system. It comprises of individual even layers boundaries for little scale brick creators because of the which are delivered while saving the crude material. It to a great degree high venture cost. Trim procedure is is of point of preference if the individual layers are not trailed by a few stages. They are transportation of surpassing 20 to 30 cm all together that the maturing arranged soil, soil development, mixture readiness, and mixing procedure is proficient. Maybe the most framing of wedge, tossing of wedge into the mold box, basic stockpiling sort is the 'Rooftop sort' stockpiling. compaction of batter, cutting of intemperate mixture This strategy has however one inconvenience, while and leveling, discharging and leveling and cleaning of keeping the dirt, the coarse grain tends to roll towards mold. the base, henceforth the upper layers comprise basically of fine grained material, while the base E. Drying and Stacking layers contain generally coarse grained material. Drying in brick making ordinarily alludes to the procedure of thermally evacuating dampness to yield a C. Pugging process strong item. Thermally uprooting the dampness can be Pugging of crude materials guarantees homogeneity achieved by either mechanical warming (dryer) or of soil with different added substances. The all the climatic drying (presentation to sun beams). For brick more completely the procedure is done the more making in Bangladesh, air drying is the most wellprominent the homogeneity of the brick. Prior to the known practice. pugging procedure consideration ought to be taken to uproot methodically every remote molecule e.g. stones, Stacking of green bricks obliges unique brick bats, plastic, wood and so on. In the event that consideration and just very much prepared laborers ISSN: 2231-5381 http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 17 International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 24 Number 1- June 2015 can do it in an all-around oversaw way. For the most of Dhaka and Chittagong which is produced in China part the green brick stacking is finished by (Saha & Rahman, 2013). Among the two choices disintegrates themselves. Different examples of UNDP pick half and half innovation for Bangladesh. stacking are followed in Bangladesh. In a few sections Under the 'green brick venture' UNDP hopes to set up a herringbone example of stacking is made, in a few no less than 16 HHK by 2015 in the nation in view of sections honeycomb and in different parts shut stuffed its 'triple advantage' including vitality productivity, stacking and in different parts cross stacking. The cost viability and making vocation open door for herringbone example is the most effective since it nearby individuals. UNDP likewise hopes to build up considers quicker and notwithstanding drying. a preparation focus to prepare up green brick furnace works. F. Storing of green bricks Green bricks are mostly put away for terminating Green brick has officially begun working in diverse amid the blustery season. The driest months for the territories of our nation; i.e., Savar, Dhaka, Ashulia, year must be used to deliver green bricks on store. Mymensingh, Khulna and Norshindi. Creation of such Amid the mid-year months green bricks dry speedier. bricks recommended that they require just 40% of Hence the rate of generation will be high. There are human mediation than that of the customary one and three imperative things to be considered for green as the generation proceeds during the time it keeps all brick putting away. Firstly, the putting away example individuals dynamic with no streamlining. In its ought to be such that harm because of downpour won't arrangement, coal and mud are blended consequently happen. Also, it ought to be efficient and not involve and afterward filled a machine. In every bit of brick much space. Thirdly, there must be fundamental labor around 2-3 percent coal is blended. Bricks are to deliver adequate bricks for normal utilization and arranged naturally and taken to a storehouse, and capacity. After finish of the stack, we must cover the smoke of the kiln for drying the crude bricks (Byron, top with a thick plastic. The plastic covers just the top 2009). It is the creation procedure utilized as a part of to shield the bricks from downpour harm. On top of Jewel Auto Green Brick, Saughat, Narayanganj. the plastic we need to put red bricks the whole time. Another green brick furnace in Dhamrai utilize Then again we can put a layer of smoldered coal slag roughly seven to 7.5 tons of coal for every 100,000 and afterward a layer of red bricks. This is done to bricks (Wasserman, 2009). The innovation of keep the red bricks from slipping amid substantial introducing green brick furnace is extravagant than the downpours. customary one. It will take Tk 7 crore to Tk 10 crore to set up a vitality productive brick furnace that will have the capacity to deliver around two crore bricks IV. POTENTIALITY, COST AND PRODUCTION OF GREEN yearly - some 40,000-50,000 bricks for every day; BRICKS while Tk 1 crore is needed for a conventional As a push to diminish nursery gasses, Bangladesh brickfield. The quality of the bricks delivered thusly is has embraced smokeless brick making innovation more than twofold than that of the conventional bricks presented by the UN Improvement Program as a and lead under 5% rejects when contrasted with 25% feature of its anticipate "Enhancing Kiln Proficiency for the customary strategy. The cost of green bricks is in the Brick Making Industry". The UNDP, which likewise focused. As indicated by the proprietor of the began its pilot extend in 2006, will contribute $25 Jewel Auto Brick Field, per piece green brick is of Tk million in the following five years for 15 new 6 and the customary one is of Tk 5.50-5.80 (Saha & activities in the nation. The creative innovation that is Rahman, 2013). The introductory high cost of setting being utilized to supplant the current 150-year-old a green brick kiln will be defended in the framework will just make the brick making industry accompanying wayso productive that when this is recreated crosswise over Bangladesh we will have gigantic advantages for A. Computerized Procedure The generation procedure is completely both the individuals and the worldwide environment (unknown, 2010). The cleaner option going ahead mechanized. After the generation for drying the bricks stream is called green bricks. Under the task, 31 a couple number of individuals are required; i.e., for vitality effective brick furnaces will be set up in month to month creation of 40,000 bricks, it takes 40 diverse parts of the nation (UNDP, 2009). The new to 50 works at the most noteworthy. innovation can be utilized as a part of making green brick would be two sorts: Vertical Shaft Brick Furnace B. Help from Govt. and Private banks To energize the proprietors, govt. advances are (VSBK) and another is Half breed Hoffman Kiln (HHK). VSBK is low scale brick making innovation; furnished with a payback time of 5 long years which is effectively showed in Vietnam, Nepal and India and truly advantageous. its prosperity and acknowledgement will be much C. Amazing popularity higher in divisional urban areas and residential The beginning high cost gets completely defended communities. Then again, HHK is innovative based and keep on multiplying in metro urban communities with the high generation and deals as interest for such ISSN: 2231-5381 http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 18 International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 24 Number 1- June 2015 bricks and with the twist of land business in innovation as a part of brickfields encompassing Bangladesh, the everyday interest of such brick is just Dhaka city. As per the Collins English Lexicon carbon expanding, and green brick is dependably the need as credit is a testament demonstrating that an it spares nature securing woodlands. administration or organization has paid to have a certain measure of carbon dioxide expelled from the D. Procuring through Carbon Credit earth. Emanation exchanging is another term For the proviso of radiating less carbon noticeable identified with carbon exchanging is a business based all around, 2 crore of taka are to be gotten yearly from methodology which is utilized to control the created nations. contamination by accepting financial motivators for accomplishing decreases in the outflows of poisons E. Brisk & Secured Recuperation of Speculation (i.e., carbon and so on.). A nation's driving non-saving As indicated by Auto Green Brick Field in Ashulia, money monetary foundation, Mechanical and Base with the booked creation and speedy offering the Advancement Account Organization (IIDFC) has expense of setting up the green brick furnace is officially gone into two assertions named "emanation recouped inside only one year. decrease buy understandings (ERPA)" with the World Bank and the Danish Vitality Office (DEA) to help in lessening carbon emanations from brickfields. V. CARBON CREDIT MARKET AND GREEN BRICK According to assertions, the World Bank and Bangladesh's brick industry has become give or Denmark will purchase 189,000 and 60,000 emanation take 5.3 percent amid the most recent decade- it diminishments separately (Khan, 2009). According to speaks to one of the biggest wellsprings of nursery gas the rules of the Kyoto convention, Bangladesh will get emanations in the nation. In 2008, aggregate carbon 15.20 dollars from the worldwide Group dioxide discharges in Bangladesh came to 50.39 Advancement Carbon Store for decreasing every ton million Metric Tons (mn MT); inside which evaluated of carbon emanations (The Daily Ittefaq, 2009). at 6 million tons of carbon dioxide because of the Starting here of perspective if Bangladesh can utilization of outdated advances and substandard fills, diminish the measure of discharges no less than 50% for example, wood, sulfur coal and the copying of tires. of 8.75 (4.17%) million tons through innovation For every capita premise in the meantime, Bangladesh exchange, the nation will get immense income is positioned at 172 around the world, with per capita produced $70 million a year from worldwide carbon outflows expanding on 2007 by 0.02 metric tons to exchanging store. 0.33 metric tons. From another source (The Daily Ittefaq, 2009), at present, 6000 conventional VI. CONCLUSION brickfields are radiating 8.75 million tons carbon UNDP proposed green bricks are useful both for every year. As per the UNDP, Bangladesh utilizes humankind and environment. Lower loss of flame around 23 tons of coal to deliver 100,000 bricks, woods, less blazing of coals, low interest for earth, contrasted and China, which utilizes 7.8 to 8 tons of low intercession of human bodies and so forth are the coal to create the same sum (UPI, 2010). The yearly distinctive empowering sides of green brick. The nursery gas discharges by the customary brickfield is investigation recommended that, any green brick equal to outflows of more than 230,000 traveler furnace delivering 50,000 bricks daily need most vehicles or carbon sequestered by more than 250,000 extreme 60 works. Bangladesh can accomplish Tk. sections of land of pine or fir timberlands. By taking 200,000 for a long time's creation of smile brick for after the helpless circumstance, UNDP is giving the lessening carbon outflow. By dropping the utilization vitality productive brick making innovation Crossover of coal it can likewise diminish reliance on different Hoffman Furnace (HHK) to make clean bricks (The nations for importing coal from them. As green brick News Today, 2011) and diminish carbon discharge. A guarantees entire year efficiency instead of regular solitary kiln that keeps running on HHK innovation profitability it can without much of a stretch adapt to will create 15 million bricks and cut carbon emanation expanding requests of bricks in Bangladesh (Saha & by 5,000 tons a year. A twofold unit kiln will deliver Rahman, 2013). 30 million bricks and cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emanation by 10,000 tons consistently (Byron, 2009). Brick kilns are one of the major sources of emission The key to the Cross breed Hoffman Kiln's prosperity in Bangladesh. There is wide scope to improve the is its capacity to totally blaze the majority of the fuel traditional brick manufacturing process of Bangladesh. that is blended into the bricks amid terminating, and The major issues in environmental improvement consequently definitely diminish vitality utilization. It involve the increasing of the combustion efficiency of likewise dries the bricks by coordinating hot air into existing kilns, and upgrading kilns to newer and more the passage from the annular kiln, which squares efficient process design, upgrading the design of the nursery gas outflow (UNDP, 2011).

At the same time, the UNDP facilitated new green brick idea can give Bangladesh a soul of pledge from the brick businesses. Despite the fact that the conventional brick furnaces contaminate nature intensely; the majority of the brick creators or business people lean toward it for its low capital necessity and significant yields and in addition simple establishment. As a solitary unit customary brick furnace needs just Tk. 10 million, ventures while HHK costs in any event Tk. 100 million individuals won't be effectively spurred to grow such another brick furnace. They are for the most part not able to manage the cost of them and will bring about an increment in cost of brick. Government need to push individuals by making mindfulness against customary kilns and make the innovation just accessible to the brick producers. Electronic and print media ought to approach to energize individuals for utilizing such sorts of bricks. Additional showcasing is obliged to acquaint individuals with green bricks. To energize business visionaries, banks need to give long haul advance. Anyhow, the issue is in getting credit from banks, a business visionary needs to finish an expansive number of customs including check of declarations and licenses.
