Descripción del proyecto
Un cemento innovador que revolucionará la industria
La industria del cemento es responsable de aproximadamente el 8 % de las emisiones globales de CO2. El proyecto CemShale CemTower, financiado con fondos europeos, ofrece una propuesta innovadora: el material cementante suplementario (MCS) de CemGreen, que contribuirá a reducir las emisiones de CO2 de la industria. Su propuesta incluye CemShale, un proceso en el que se calcina lutita para generar un MCS basado en arcilla mineral de alto rendimiento, y CemTower, un equipo revolucionario para el tratamiento térmico optimizado de la lutita. El producto revolucionará la industria del cemento, reducirá costes operativos y estará en sintonía con las prácticas respetuosas con el medio ambiente.
Objetivo
Cement is the most consumed resource after water. Currently more than 4 billion tons of cement is produced every year. Cement production currently contributes 8% of global CO2 emissions. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are used to supplement cement to reduce carbon footprint of it. Today, the main SCM is fly ash, by-product of coal driven power plants. As these power plants are phased out, fly ash availability is becoming scarce. Cement industry players are already eagerly looking for alternatives.
CemGreen has developed CemShale, a process that calcines shale in granules instead of powder and delivers a high performing clay mineral based SCM. Shale is abundant and often lying unused in many cement plants. In addition, CemGreen developed a game-changing equipment for optimised heat treatment of shale granule material, vertically integrating three separate equipment in conventional cement production: the preheater, kiln and cooler, allowing for heat treatment within narrow limits and significantly reducing operational costs.
Cemshale offers high cement substitution rates, while CemTower Capex is a fraction of cement production Capex. Cemshale will provide cement producers SCM supply chain flexibility, significant cost savings and possibility to meet CO2 emissions lowering targets.
Full implementation of our solution has the potential to lower worldwide CO2 emissions by 4.81%. CemShale has global potential to become the state-of-the-art SCM and CemTower the state-of-the art product equipment thereof.
CemGreen has filed patent applications on CemShale and CemTower. The project will place CemShale in the forefront of new SCMs, having an extremely high global potential of €63 Bn and creating ~650+ new jobs already within 5 years of commercialisation.
