Alternative fuels for the cement industry

Analysis on differences of carbon dioxide emission from cement production and their major determinants

“…AF has been used broadly. Mokrzycki and Uliasz-Boche nczyk (2003) classified AF into three basic groups: gas (e.g., landfill gas, pyrolytic gas, and biogas), liquid (e.g., used oils and solvents), and solid (tires, wood waste, plastics, meat and bone animal meal (MBM), municipal solid waste (MSW), sewage sludge (SS) and textiles). MSW, MBM and SS are the most widely used AF in the EU cement industry (Aranda Us on et al, 2013).…”

Waste to energy in Hungary: new trends in the North-Balaton Regional Waste Management System of Hungary

“…RDF is considered as a good quality fuel with a caloric value of 12-24 MJ/kg. In case of the cement industry RDF is not only used for energy purposes but for the product as well as main fraction is integrated by the incineration process into the cement forming zero-emission technology [7].…”

Flash calcination of kaolinite rich clay and impact of process conditions on the quality of the calcines: A way to reduce CO2 footprint from cement industry

“…As a result, there is a compelling need to develop sound strategy to reduce CO 2 emission from cement industry. Among others, the use of alternative fuels in the kiln system [2] and the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) as partial substitute of the CO 2 -intensive cement clinkers [3] are two promising strategies. Comparatively, the latter gains more and better concerns in cement industry [4].…”
