The world is in an energy crisis, which is only going to get worse. With the increase in fuel and electricity costs, the cement industry is presented with both a problem and an opportunity. The cement industry uses huge amounts of fuel and electrical power, and is critically sensitive to price rises in both. The industry worldwide is also vulnerable to power-cuts and reduction in power quality - so-called 'brownouts.'

However, the cement - and lime - industry is also perfectly located to take advantage of the situation, through the use of waste heat recovery systems. Using waste heat recovery, the cement industry can regain the energy in its waste-gasses and use it to generate electricity, thus partly insulating itself from electricity price increases as well as improving its overall efficiency.

With each plant being able to produce 20-30% of its total electricity from its own resources - and around 30% of plants being able to benefit from installation of a WHR system, the benefits of waste heat recovery for the cement industry are potentially huge. According to industry experts, payback ranges from three to six years, excluding any government subsidies.

Asia (notably China and India) is well ahead of the rest of the world in the application of waste heat recovery in the cement industry and only now is the rest of the world beginning to catch up.
