Around 60% of a cement plant’s CO₂ comes from calcination itself — released by the limestone, not the fuel. Efficiency alone cannot reach a credible target, and CBAM now puts a price on what crosses the EU border. The reduction has to be engineered.
- AssessGHG inventory to the Protocol and ISO 14064, split between process and combustion emissions so the abatement options are visible.
- DesignWaste heat recovery, drive efficiency and grinding optimisation — the electrical measures that lower kWh per tonne.
- ImplementAlternative fuel substitution, clinker factor reduction and an ISO 50001 energy management system that holds the gains.
- VerifyMRV data trail from kiln instrumentation to the reported figure, ready for assurance and CBAM declarations.
