AFR utilisation

“Tomorrow matters….”

Co-processing is the use of waste material as alternative resources (raw materials, energy, or both) to replace non-renewable natural resources in cement processes

Aside from reuse and recycling, co-processing is the most ecological way to treat waste respecting the waste hierarchy.

Alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) from waste can play an important role in contributing towards reducing fossil fuel use and costs while conserving natural resources, lowering global CO2 emissions, improving waste management and reducing Landfilling volumes.

Cementis assists your company in the co-processing of Alternative Fuels (such as tires, sewage sludge, waste oil, contaminated soil and much more) replacing primary fuel and thus reducing energy costs but more important reducing CO2.

minimize impacts on production process

implement adequate training

 

The waste market analysis step:

elaborate a complete waste market survey

map all the waste per type of industry

identify your waste management competitors

understand the market waste flow

assess the top waste in terms of market  and co-processing potential

 

The legal framework step:

analyse legal framework (permitting,  regulations,  standards,..)

build up a detailed external communication strategy

develop lobbying communication papers

create a well-defined network of communication

assist in advocating for a better positioning of Co-processing in the existing legal framework

Identify risk through a risk map elaboration

know your SWOT’s

prepare a detailed action plan to follow and monitor

 

The “start the project” step :
