Decarbonization in the Cement Sector:
Transforming One of the Most CO₂-Intensive Industries
Transforming One of the Most CO₂-Intensive Industries
At Novargi, we support the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as steel and cement by delivering advanced solutions that reduce emissions without compromising efficiency.
In cement production, CO₂ emissions result both from fuel combustion and from the calcination process (CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂), with high energy demands of ~3.5 MJ/tonne at process temperatures around 1,400 °C.
Our technologies are designed to address these challenges and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon industry.
Tailored Strategies for Effective Emission Reduction
Decarbonizing the cement industry demands targeted approaches to achieve meaningful emissions reduction while maintaining production quality. Novargi collaborates closely with cement producers to develop customized strategies that fit specific operational needs, focusing on energy optimization, sustainable fuel integration, and emissions reduction in clinker production. By leveraging our expertise and industry insights, we help clients implement effective solutions that drive measurable CO₂ reductions, positioning them as leaders in sustainable manufacturing.
Strategy: The roadmap to decarbonization should prioritize preventing and before solving problems. In addition, the solutions should be adopted from lower levels of complexity and investment yo higher ones as required, i.e.:
1. Renewable fuel use
2. Oxy-combustion
3. Carbon Capture and Use
