Biomass explained

Biomass contains stored chemical energy from the sun that is produced by plants through photosynthesis. Biomass can be burned directly for heat or converted to liquid and gaseous fuels through various processes. Biomass was the largest source of total annual U.S. energy consumption until the mid-1800s.

Decarbonizing cement production

The majority of the energy needed and the CO 2 emissions are products of the calcination process; the pre-calciner uses around 60% of the total energy and produces unavoidable "process" emissions, around 60% of the total CO 2 from the cement plant. 2, 3 Once the mixture leaves, it enters the rotary kiln, where reactions occur at 1,450°C ...

Alternative Fuels in Cement Manufacturing | IntechOpen

The type of biomass utilized by cement plants is highly variable, and is based on the crops that are locally grown. For example rice husk, corn stover, hazelnut shells, coconut husks, coffee pods, and palm nut shells are among the many varieties of biomass currently being burned in cement kilns (Murray & Price, 2008).
