This final issue of the 2010s provides a unique opportunity to look over the major cement sector events of the past 10 years, a contradictory decade of expansion and consolidation, overcapacity and huge new projects, with heightened environmental awareness alongside rising emissions. Here, Global Cement attempts to extract some sense from this confusing time...
This article offers a data-backed review of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and its impact on the cement industry in Europe, based on a recently-published report by CemBR. The report examines all countries and integrated cement plants within the EU ETS. The analysis was carried out with reference to detailed data since the onset of the EU ETS back in 2005.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is variously hailed as a ‘silver bullet’ by some in the cement sector and denounced as ‘impossible’ by others. It is neither, argues the Global CCS Institute’s Guloren Turan, and it’s also essential...
CO2 and SO2 emissions from cement plants are serious issues that require mitigation. To this end, this article recommends a new type of externally-heated rotary kiln for cement production. The technology already produces high-activity lime and magnesia powder on a proof-of-concept basis, while also manufacturing high-purity food grade liquid and solid CO2 at low cost. The application of the technology to cement production could have a range of bene ts for the sector.
