Mr. Kuske below has stated a valid point, why pure oxygen instead of ambient gas? I reckon, maybe it has something to do with some extra process, namely the carbon dioxide-nitrogen (and any amount of small traces of inert gas) separation. The conservative technology (e.g., post-combustion carbon-adsorption fixed bed of industrial scale. It would be almost definitely tech improvement, though) has limitations on the feed gas temperature after the pyro-process. (https://lnkd.in/esr5hpwf), and considering economy efficiency reasons, the carbon dioxide could be released unprocessed. Maybe with pure oxygen, the produced carbon dioxide could be directly dispatched to the synthesizing reaction, without electrical heat exchanger or other equippment? Would love to hear more about it though. In any case, if presented as this is, it could be an oppotunity of the development of chemical synthesizing industry, which is also one of the strives of Thyssenkrupp.

Decarbonization efforts in the construction industry begin with an understanding of where the carbon emissions originate from; Harmful emissions as by-products of manufacturing processes, energy-hungry manufacturing processes (which are heavily dependent on burning of fossil fuels) & Transportation of materials(raw & manufactured) around the globe. There's clearly a massive opportunity for innovation. We need new sustainable practices, technologies & construction materials in a bid to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry. #decarbonization #sustainability #niche #constructionindustry

A path to cleaner cement. In a time of resource efficiency, the cement industry is increasingly turning to pyroprocessing technologies, an essential process for converting waste materials into fuel-grade products. Key market development: ✔️ The demand for cleaner cement production processes to meet environmental regulations. ✔️ The move towards circular economy principles, emphasizing the importance of waste reduction and resource recovery. ✔️ The expansion of the waste-to-energy sector, reflecting broader sustainability goals. Pyroprocessing's contribution to these areas includes ✔️ Emissions reduction: Converting waste into alternative fuels significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with cement production. ✔️ Alternative fuel generation: Enabling the cement industry to transition from traditional fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources. ✔️ Operational efficiency: By minimizing waste, pyroprocessing aids in reducing environmental impact and increasing the efficiency of manufacturing processes. Modern pyroprocessing technologies, along with advances in material sourcing and automation, will continue to set the stage for achieving superior efficiencies in cement production. #pyroprocessing #circulareconomy #cement #manufacturing #processoptimization #cementindustry #alternativefuels #environmentalregulations

That's wonderful te see Europe setting new ambitious targets for 2040: -90%. That's paving the way to carbon neutrality by 2050. On the short term, low carbon innovative technology is ready to be scaled up this decade. With ACT technology, the average CO2 footprint of cement can be decreased by 70%. We are part of the solution. Now. Technology is no more an issue. Time has come for scaling up. Ecocem en France

A GREENKEY Future: Our solutions to decarbonize cement. In an industry focused on building the future, but challenged by its environmental concerns, sustainable and lean technologies are required. At the center of these technologies is the strategic use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), to help minimize the reliance on CO2-intensive materials such as clinker. SCMs—ranging from industrial by-products like granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash to novel materials such as calcined clays and steel mill slags—present a dual advantage: they significantly lower the ecological impact of cement and extend the life cycle of various by-products through recycling. Our GREENKEY Solutions, including the utilization of waste and biomass as alternative fuels and the innovative use of hydrogen in combustion processes, illustrate a comprehensive approach to reducing the CO2 footprint of cement production by up to 90%. The implementation of technologies such as C/CLAY for calcined clays and S/CRETE for cement paste meal from concrete recycling complements the conventional pool of SCMs while leading the transition to a more responsible and efficient use of resources. A reduction in the global clinker/cement ratio can be achieved compared to traditional cement production methods. This represents a significant step towards decarbonizing the industry and adopting a circular economy model, where CO2 is reintegrated into the production cycle instead of being released into the atmosphere. #greenkeysolutions #sustainability #cementindustry #CO2reduction #greeninnovation #engineeringexcellence #circulareconomy #cleanenergy

Today, the European Commission proposed a 90% net emission reduction target by #2040. We welcome this ambition and think the #cement industry could take one step further and target #NetZero by 2040.     The 2040 communication acknowledges the role of alternative production processes in industrial #decarbonisation, such as clinker substitution technologies in cement production. However, it is still uncertain what the scale of the contribution to the 2040 target should be from these alternatives.      On carbon capture, clear estimations are needed to quantify the potential of innovative production processes to mitigate CO2 emissions. This applies both to the 2040 communication and the Industrial Carbon Management Strategy (#ICMS) also published today.     For the cement industry, low carbon alternatives to clinker, such as our ACT #technology are ready to deliver and decarbonise the cement industry at scale in the next 10 years. This can redefine cement from a hard-to-abate to a fast-to-abate sector. A wide deployment of clinker reduction technologies will avoid carbon production at source and enable the cement industry to cut its emissions by 70% by 2035, without #CCS. By deploying CCS for the residual impossible-to-abate emissions, the EU cement industry can reach net zero by 2040 and become the first industrial sector worldwide to align with a 1.5°C pathway.    We at Ecocem are committed to this goal and ready to contribute to Europe’s journey towards climate neutrality cost-effectively and at speed.     #LowCarbon #2040ClimateTarget #EUGreenDeal #Sustainability #Construction 📸: European Union

Carbon Footprint Assessment of Cement Plant- Carbon Emissions from a Cement plant are divided into two source category: 1) Combustion (40% of emissions) 2) Calcination (60% of emissions) The Combustion- generated CO2 emissions are related to fuel use. The CO2 emissions due to calcination are formed when raw materials (Mostly lime stone and clay) are heated to more than 2500 fernehite and CO2 is liberated from the decomposed minerals. Mitcon Consultancy and Engineering Services Limited provides complete Consultancy for accouting of GHG emissions and prepare road map for GHG reduction to achieve net zero target.

Global CO2 emissions from the cement sector exceed 2.5 gigatonnes annually. These emissions mainly stem from two sources: about 60% are direct emissions from the chemical reaction of heated limestone (calcination), and around 40% come from the combustion of fuels used in the kiln and plant operations. Additionally, the electricity consumed in cement production contributes to the sector's overall carbon footprint. Efforts to reduce emissions involve multiple strategies applied across the entire lifecycle of cement and concrete. The roadmap identifies specific interventions that will be crucial in achieving net-zero emissions, with the global average performance presented in the graph below. With my background in construction and my experience working with start-ups in sustainable cement and carbon capture sectors, I'm eager to collaborate with more companies in these industries and make a direct contribution toward achieving these targets. #GreenCement #GreenConcrete #SustainableConstruction #CarbonCapture #CCUS #CleanTechnology

Accelerating efforts to tackle #ClimateChange is critical. The cement industry represents almost 8% of all global emissions but to date progress has been limited. Sustainable Views highlights the need for companies to develop innovative solutions to efficiently address the industry's emissions problem and cites #Ecocem as a company leading the way: https://bit.ly/4eSqgqR ➡ Changing the composition of cement is the key to reducing the industry’s climate impact. ➡ Ecocem’s ACT technology can reduce emissions from cement by up to 70% by using alternative materials (SCMs) and maximizing their efficiency while delivering the required performance in any concrete it is used to make. Our Founder and Managing Director, Donal O’Riain, sat down with Florence Jones to discuss the options available to the industry and the need to fully develop the potential of #LowCarbon, low-clinker cements to accelerate cement emissions reductions.    It is clear that #ClinkerReduction is crucial for decreasing emissions, and at Ecocem, we are relentlessly committed to revolutionising the cement industry with that in mind 🌎 #FutureOfCement #Sustainability #AdvancingNetZero | Financial Times
