Cement

Solution Challenges

01

The type of kilns and energy sources required for cement production result in high CO2 emissions (~0.6 tonne of CO2 per tonne of cement produced).

Solution challenges

02

There are sourcing and compatibility challenges when considering alternative fuels (such as biomass, waste-derived fuels, and non-recyclable plastics).

Solution challenges

03

There is a need to invest in techniques such as – waste heat recovery, use of preheaters and precalciners, and optimizing grinding processes to improve energy efficiencies

Solution challenges

04

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies offer a good low-carbon solution, but low operating margins present a key challenge to their financial viability.

Process Levers

  • Feedstock blends
  • Biomass Gasification to syn-gas
  • Gas conditioning & mixing choices
  • Hydrogen usage to produce Green Cement
  • CCU Technology retro-fit: pre and post-combustion carbon capture
  • Carbon conversion to various value-added products

OUR APPROACH

Given the tight financial constraints presented by the cement industry Dastur Energy takes a holistic approach that combines the following strategies to maximize business impact while reducing overall carbon intensity of the process.

FEEDSTOCK BLENDS

Feedstock formulation enabled through blending and other preprocessing strategies allows low-cost, low-quality biomass to be blended with higher cost and higher quality to achieve the in-feed specifications at the conversion facility.
