ABSTRACT
Energy is absolutely necessary in an industrial activity. High efficiency in energy
consumption will increase the competition of industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate
energy consumption and gases emission from catch and canned fish production in CV.Pasific
Harvest, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. LCA is use to analyze energy consumption and gases emission
released by fish canning industry. It has four main steps to complete the LCA method; those are
determining goal and scope, inventory analysis, environment impact analysis and interpretation.
Energy consumed on canned fish production are 3925.18 MJ/ton of fish and released 12194.49
grams CO
2
, 60.35 grams SO
2
and 405.88 grams NO
x
. Sterilization is the highest stage in the use
of energy and the release of gases emission. Best Available Techniques can be used to improve
the efficiency of energy use and gases emission reductions. Best Available Techniques (BAT)
includes water reuse and recovery, machinery maintenance and use of alternative energy
resource.
