    The document summarizes the vertical shaft brick kiln (VSBK) technology promotion efforts in South and Southeast Asia from the 1990s onward. The VSBK is an energy efficient brick manufacturing technology originally developed in China that was promoted in countries like India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Vietnam and Bangladesh by organizations like TERI, SKAT and development agencies to reduce emissions of SO2 and particulate matter from traditional brick kilns. The VSBK leads to lower emissions and 20-50% energy savings compared to traditional brick kilns, helping reduce CO2 emissions if adopted more widely.

    Action: Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) technology is an energy efficient brick manufacturing technology originally developed in China. The design of the VSBK resembles to an intermittent updraft kiln with a unique method of continuous firing clay bricks (VSBK Nepal, 2007). The VSBK technology was promoted to several Asian countries such as India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Vietnam and Bangladesh (APEIS, 2003a).

    Outcome: VSBK technology is environmentally friendly. SPM emissions from VSBKs are very low compared to the environmental requirements (80 to 250 mg/Nm3 as against about 750 mg/Nm3 for medium and large capacity BTKs and 1,000 mg/Nm3 for small capacity BTKs). Apart from the obvious stack emissions, other fugitive emissions are also significantly lower. For clamp type kilns, the comparison with VSBK is even more dramatic. These kilns generally do not have a stack for the dispersion of flue gases, which are usually let out into the surroundings. On a global level, the energy savings resulting from VSBK (20 to 50 %) would help considerably in reducing CO2 emissions if the technology were adopted on a wide scale.
