The September issue ofWorld Cementbegins with a review of the cement sector in the Sub-Saharan Africa, including case study highlighting Bamburi Cement’s plans to reduce its carbon footprint. After that is the Cover Story from thyssenkrupp Polysius, which looks a new high-efficiency burner desi...
Ian Jones, WKE, explores the importance of adopting alternative fuels to reduce the cement industry’s carbon footprint, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in doing so.Overcoming Feedstock Fluctuations Monday 23 December 2024 10:00 Lars Jennissen, N+P Group, discusses the complexities of...
Other ways to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete include using fly ash (a by-product from burning coal in power plants) or slag (a by-product fromsteel production) to partially replace Portland cement. However, sources of these materials will reduce as other industries decarbonize. Over ...
Techno-Economic Assessment of Polymer Membrane Systems for Postcombustion Carbon Capture at Coal-Fired Power Plants This study investigates the feasibility of polymer membrane systems for postcombustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture at coal-fired power plants. Using newly......
This improves energy efficiency and leads to significant energy savings, which is crucial for reducing the industry’s carbon footprint. PGNAA can help reduce carbon emissions in other ways too. On-line analysis via PGNAA in a cement plant provides the means to make use of supplementary ...
phases of the cement, such as the clinker content. Both options improve cement reactivity and can reduce cement consumption to achieve the same mechanical performance of concrete. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential reduction in the CO2 footprint of concrete mixes with ...
Solidia takes a giant step that will leave a small footprint. When applied globally, each year it will reduce: the carbon footprint of concrete by up to 70%, equaling 1.5 gigatonnes or ~4% of the world’s CO2emissions; water usage up to 100%, avoiding the consumption of three trillion...
By 2050, the United Nations predicts two-thirds of the world population will be concentrated in cities. Given the trend toward urbanization, cement production is expected to skyrocket. Introducing green concrete that employs lighter, higher-performing cement will reduce its overall carbon footprint by...
Introducing green concrete that employs lighter, higher-performing cement will reduce its overall carbon footprint by extending maintenance schedules and reducing waste. Alternately,smart materialsallow cities to meet the needs of growing populations in terms of connectivity, energy and multifunctionality. ...
