OEMs and industry studies show savings of 5\u201310 kcal\/kg clinker by optimizing separators\/preheater and measurable reductions when tackling false air at kiln seals. In addition, less false air raises the CO\u2082 concentration in the gases, which also improves the viability of CCUS\/CO\u2082-use schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cement accounts for ~7\u20138% of global emissions; the sector (GCCA\/IEA) is pushing a net-zero roadmap that combines efficiency, alternative fuels, SCMs, CCUS, and new chemistries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fuentes: GCCA<\/a> PNAS<\/a> Brimstone<\/a>Data Center Dynamics<\/a>Center for American Progress<\/a>Ecocem+1<\/a>S&P Global<\/a> CarbonCure Technologies Inc.<\/a>ScienceDirect<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New cement technologies that mineralize CO\u2082 are advancing, but they only work at scale when the plant runs with efficient processes and low false air. \u201cCarbon-utilization\u201d routes (injecting or mineralizing CO\u2082 into the material) and new no limestone clinker chemistries are maturing quickly.
