6 FAQs about [Bricks with energy Nepal]

What are the environmental impacts of brick kilns in Nepal?

The operation of brick kilns in Nepal has significant environmental impacts. The use of coal and other fossil fuels as the main source of energy for firing the kilns releases large amounts of CO2, SO 2, and particulate matter into the air, contributing to air pollution and global warming.

How many brick kilns are there in Nepal?

According to the study by the NBKMC in Nepal, there are over 1500 registered brick kilns in the country, with an estimated annual production capacity of 9.6 billion bricks (Khadka et al., 2019). However, it is also estimated that there are many more unregistered kilns, making the total number of brick kilns in Nepal difficult to determine.

How much fuel does a brick kiln use in Nepal?

Fig. 4. Use of different fuel types in brick kilns in Nepal. According to the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) study, brick kilns in Nepal consume an estimated 1.5 mT of coal and biomass per year (ICIMOD, 2019).
