Alternative Fuels in Clinker Production

Overview

• Use of alternative fuels is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions.
• Aim to achieve less than 500 kg CO2 per ton of cementitious materials by 2030.

Track Record

• 40 years of implementing alternative fuel projects safely and environmentally sound.
• Successful in reducing CO2 emissions and minimizing landfill needs.

Case Studies

Langford Cement Plant, Germany

• 90% of fuel used comes from alternative fuels (highest globally).
• Utilizes high-quality alternative fuels from:
  • Commercial industrial waste
  • Solvents
  • Biomass waste
• Achieves a carbon-neutral biomass utilization rate of around 25%.

Indonesia

• More than doubled waste and biomass usage in the last two years.
• Plans to extend this approach to growth markets like:
  • Democratic Republic of Congo
  • Togo

Global Strategy

• Focus on local waste and biomass in various countries.
• Collaborating with municipalities and waste management companies to secure waste biomass and alternative fuel streams.

Economic Benefits

• Switching from fossil fuels to alternative fuels is ecologically and economically beneficial.
• In 2019, saved 400,000 tons of CO2 and generated cost savings of over 20 million euros.

Future Goals

• Target to nearly double the alternative fuel rate in the fuel mix within the next 10 years.
• Aim for approximately 40% alternative fuel rate globally by 2030.
