Alternative fuel use in the cement industry Fig 9 illustrates the global tendency towards alternative fuel usage in the cement industry across 17 countries (or group of countries) in 2017 (Industry, 2019) On average, the global cement industry has fulfilled 18% of its Greater uptake of alternative fuels can be facilitated by redirecting waste from landfills to the cement industry and by coordinating the supply of sustainably sourced biomass across sectors to enable costcompetitive Cement Analysis IEA
Alternative fuels used in the cement industry are usually classified according to the concentration criterion into [4], [5]: • gaseous (examples: landfill gas, Biomass and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) are the main alternative fuels used by cement producers globally [11, 13] Biomass Use of alternative fuels in cement industry ResearchGate
Alternative fuel sources can come in solid, liquid, or gaseous form Some fuel alternatives being utilized or pursued at present include: Tirederived fuel Pure carbonneutral biomass fuels used in the cement industry today include animal meal, waste wood, sawdust and sewage sludge Besides these fuels, many other organic waste materials are utilised as fuels in Alternative Fuels Cembureau

US: Heidelberg Materials subsidiary Mason City Cement plans to invest US$4 5m in upgrades to its kiln line by 2026 Upon completion, the work will enable the natural resources, and provide lowcost, sustainable fuels The cement industry has a long history of safe and efficient use of alternative fuels, ranging from used tires and ALTERNATIVE FUELS Cement
Fossil fuels continue to provide the majority of energy in the cement sector, with bioenergy and biomassbased wastes accounting for only about 4% of thermal energy used in 2021 The share of bioenergy and renewable Some wellknown alternative fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohol, waste derived fuels, hydrogen, nonfossil methane, nonfossil natural gas, vegetable oil, and other biomass sources These fuels have been applied for different energyproducing applications such as transportation, electricity production, and machine operation in the industryOpportunities and challenges of using SRF as an alternative fuel
The use of alternative fuels is nothing new particularly in the cement industry Cement was one of the first industries to recognise the benefits of harnessing waste as a fuel source, being especially wellplaced to tap into the benefits it provides The cement industry has been using alternative fuels to varying extents since the 1970sCement manufacturing is an energyintensive process due to the high temperatures required in thekilns for clinkerization The use of alternative fuels to replace conventional fuels, in particularcoal, is a widespread practice and can contribute to improving the global warming impact andtotal environmental footprint of the cement industryUse of Alternative Fuels in Cement Manufacture: Analysis of Fuel

This paper reviews and analyzes the experiences of using alternative fuels in the cement industry in Germany and Japan The contribution of AFs to total thermal energy demand in the cement industry in the EU reached 39% in 2015 In Germany, the percentage of AFs used has reached as much as 646%, a rate that is 523 increase at the rate of 1% per year worldwide [1,6,7,9] 22 Alternative fuels Alternative fuel utilization in the cement industry started in the 1980sUse of Alternative Fuels in Cement Industry ResearchGate
Cement industry use alternative fuels of carbon black and tire derived fuel as 10% Alternative fuels have a number of benefits in the cement industry, including lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced use of nonrenewable fossil fuels As a result, identifying the most significant environmental impacts involved with clinker processing Meanwhile, traditional fuels used in cement rotary kilns include coal, petroleum coke, heavy lowquality fuel oil and natural gas There are different reasons for coprocessing AFR These(PDF) SELECTION AND USE OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS IN THE CEMENT
Some wellknown alternative fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohol, waste derived fuels, hydrogen, nonfossil methane, nonfossil natural gas, vegetable oil, and other biomass sources These fuels have been applied for different energyproducing applications such as transportation, electricity production, and machine operation in the industryThe traditional major fuels of the German cement industry are coal and lignite Since the 1990s, some of the coal has been replaced by petcoke, which is a coallike fraction of mineral oil generated in crude oil processingStrategies for the utilization of alternative fuels in the cement industry
