SRF is an alternative fuel produced from energy-rich MSW materials diverted from landfills, and it can be used as a substitute energy source in different industries. An industry …
The shift towards alternative fuels in cement manufacturing is driven by a combination of environmental, economic, and regulatory factors. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, cutting costs, and managing waste more effectively, alternative fuels offer a promising solution for the cement industry.
Reducing both the environmental impact and economic expenditure involves incorporating alternative energy sources (fuels) such as biomass, solid-derived fuel (SDF), refuse-derived fuel (RDF) etc.
Alternative fuels and alternative sources of energy usually fall under eight broad headings: biofuels; natural gas; waste-derived fuels; wind energy; hydroelectric power; solar energy; …
SRF is an alternative fuel produced from energy-rich MSW materials diverted from landfills, and it can be used as a substitute energy source in different industries. An industry that is particularly well-suited to the employment of SRF is the cement industry.
A mixture of fossil fuels and AF in optimal proportion is used to produce the thermal energy required in cement industry. The significant advantage of alternative fuel substitution is the preservation of non- renewable energy sources [11] and the reduction of waste disposal sites.
Alternative fuels offer sustainability benefits as well as a way of achieving a circular economy in cement production. For example, there is an increased net global reduction in CO2 emissions when waste is incorporated in cement kiln systems as opposed to dedicated incinerators.
With rising awareness surrounding the cost and sustainability of conventional fossil fuels like the coal, oil, and natural gas traditionally used for cement production, cement industry innovators have been seeking out …
Cement manufacturing contributes ∼8% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Waste materials offer great potential as alternatives to fossil fuels in cement kilns. A 7–13% decrease in GHGs comes from replacing 50% natural gas with alternative fuels. GHGs from alternative fuels (AFs) are sensitive to biogenic carbon accounting.
alternative fuels in cement manufacturing could improve the industry‟s overall competitiveness, while reducing the industry‟s costs and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the manufacture of cement.
