India's fuel challenge
The Indian cement industry is failing to realise the potential for alternative fuels and raw material (AFR) utilisation, but resolves to raise the thermal substitution rate (TSR) to 25 per cent by 2030, from the current level of less than one per cent. This was the conclusion of a two-day conference held in Delhi in August on co-processing in cement plants, convened by the Cement Manufacturers’ Association (CMA) of India and the Washington-based Institute for Industrial Productivity (IIP).
