Green energy for the cement industry

Cement remains the crucial building material of our industrial society and is indispensable in the long term. At the same time, however, the production of cement in Germany generates more than 20 million tons of CO2 per year, which is almost always discharged into the atmosphere. The major share of CO2 is generated during the production of cement clinker, while energy-related CO2 emissions only account for around 35%.

For some years now, progress has been made in improving the carbon footprint: this includes the substitution of cement clinker with secondary raw materials, the development of new cements or alternative binders, an increase in energy efficiency, and a switch from fossil to alternative fuels.

We see further savings potential in energy-related emissions - supplemented by carbon capture processes and waste heat utilization. Learn more about this in a free, non-binding workshop and talk to our experts.

We reconcile energy supply and decarbonization. In just half a day, we explore and discuss the solution space of your transformation

Your added value

Know How: Proven experts from the fields of process engineering, electrical and control engineering, energy efficiency, renewable energies and transformation concepts, among others, evaluate your current as well as planned measures and provide new impulses.
Holistic approach: You receive an assessment of the essential measures in line with a long-term decarbonization strategy using CO2 abatement costs as a fact-based decision-making tool. Here we consider short-, medium- and long-term measures.
Best practices: We also take into account our experience from the transformation of other energy-intensive companies (such as paper, glass, ceramics, chemicals).
Regulatory & Market Trends: Get an overview of the current developments in electricity, gas and CO2 markets and we take them into account in the evaluation of measures.
