Abstract

Due the advances in the industrial processes, in which the cement industry is a major contributor, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission has increased significantly. This paper reviews previous studies on energy saving, carbon dioxide emission reductions and the various technologies used to improve the energy efficiency in the cement industry. Energy efficiency measures for raw materials preparation, clinker production, products and feedstock changes, general energy efficiency measures, and finish grinding have been surveyed. It was found that the largest recorded amounts of thermal energy savings, electrical energy savings and emission reductions to date are 3.4GJ/t, 35kWh/t and 212.54kgCO2/t, respectively.
