The cement industry is moving increasingly towards the use of alternative fuels for the complete decarbonization of cement and concrete. It raises questions about safety and handling new fuels and materials. Fires are especially common in factories with an increased concentration of combustive materials, volatile substances, and equipment. Raúl Moreno, Director at Firefly Ab, the Swedish...
The cement manufacturing process is highly intensive in heat consumption and carbon emissions. Stakeholders are increasing pressure to decarbonize not only the cement industry but the construction industry, too. But how we can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by implementing actual and effective solutions? Edgar Martinez, Sustainability Senior Director at Cementos Argos will approach this...
The industry’s leading professionals will aim to answer crucial questions at CarbonZero Global Conference on November 10-11 in Lisbon. The global capacity of cement production reached an estimated 4.4 billion tonnes in 2021, and it is predicted to grow moderately by 2030. CO2 is mostly emitted by the reactions involved in clinker production, including fuel...
The cement industry is responsible for almost 8 % of global CO2 emissions. RDF and alternative fuels require a dedicated transport system inside cement plants and the use of pipe conveyors is nowadays state of the art. At CarbonZero: Alternative Fuels and raw Materials Global Conference and Exhibition (Nov 10-11), M. Sc. Eng. Fabio Chignoli...
