Ribblesdale cement plant hosts first UK net-zero commercial fuel trial30 September 2021, Published under Cement NewsA UK cement kiln has successfully been operated using a net zero fuel as part of a world-first demonstration using hydrogen technology. Led by the Mineral Products Association (MPA), Hanson UK and funded by Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the trial used a mix of 100 per cent net zero fuels for commercial-scale cement manufacture for the first time. The fuel mix consisted of tanker-delivered hydrogen as well as meat and bone meal (MBM) and glycerine, d... |
Boral to shift electricity supply to green renewables by 202508 September 2021, Published under Cement NewsBoral is targeting 100 per cent renewable and hydrocarbon energy supply by 2025 as part of its net-zero emissions by 2050 commitment. The company is ‘exploring all options’ it said to Renew Economy which will cover Boral's energy needs outside of its Berrima kiln, which is set on a separate decarbonisation pathway. CO 2 emissions at the company's Berrima plant will focus on alternative fuels and improving energy efficiency upgrades as well as new and emerging technologies. Boral CEO, Zla... |
The potential of hydrogen in decarbonising cement27 August 2021, Published under Cement NewsThis week, we take a look at the significant role hydrogen is expected to play in the cement sector's route to decarbonisation. Two kinds of hydrogen are set to be used by industry as a fossil fuel replacement, but each has its own set of challenges and benefits, with 'green hydrogen' and 'blue hydrogen' referring to the different methods of its production. For it to be classed as 'green', the hydrogen needs to be generated through a water electrolysis process, which is itself powered by... |
Cemex begins international green hydrogen project15 July 2021, Published under Cement NewsCemex, renewable energy company Enertrag, and electrolysis company Sunfire are launching 'Concrete Chemicals', a new hydrogen project to decarbonise the cement industry. Together with industrial and academic partners, the international consortium has submitted a funding application under the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) funding call to receive financial support for the challenging start-up phase of the project.
