It is considered that there is a causal relation between the increase in CO2 concentrations due to energy consumption and climate change/temperature increase in each region. On the other hand, applying investment cover-able energy-saving devices and/or systems to manufacturing process consider to be effective in reducing manufacturing costs and at the same time contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. In this paper, we consider a low environmental load type ceramics manufacturing process that combines energy-saving technologies, while confirming that the amount of energy required for heating operation in the ceramics manufacturing process is large, the majority of the waste heat is discharged, and it is more efficient to directly use the waste heat as heat than to convert it to work.
