CEMEX announced that the U.S. Department of Energy awarded US$3.2 million to Solar MEAD, a joint project headed by CEMEX, Sandia National Laboratories, and Synhelion, which aims to decarbonize cement production. Solar MEAD aims to replace the use of fossil fuels with concentrated solar thermal (“CST”) energy in clinker production, the key component in cement....
Cemento PANAM has achieved fantastic success reducing its carbon footprint and fossil fuel bill by implementing a 350 m long waste heat bypass system, using waste heat from the cooler to dry materials in its cement mills. Cemento PANAM in the Dominican Republic is a new cement plant that prides itself on its green credentials....
Reaching net zero by 2050 requires finding innovative ways to reduce emissions and decarbonize some of the most polluting sectors and industries. Clean hydrogen can be crucial in minimizing climate change impacts, helping decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors that rely on fossil fuels—such as heavy industry, shipping, and air transport—while contributing to food security, economic growth, and...
The world remained firmly in warming’s grip last year, with extreme summer temperatures in Europe, China and elsewhere contributing to 2022 being the fifth-hottest year on record, European climate researchers recently said. The eight warmest years on record have now occurred since 2014, the scientists, from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, reported, and...
The recent geopolitical situation has highlighted the misplaced reliance on fossil fuels and the fragility of our renewable energy supply. The solution is to turn all kinds of waste into fuel. Realtime online Near Infrared (NIR) analysis not only provides the opportunity to minimize volumes of organic fuels by increasing the amount of alternative fuels,...
