Hydrogen can be utilized in cement kilns as a clean and efficient fuel, replacing traditional fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. This transition can significantly reduce carbon emissions and increase the use of alternative fuels, helping the industry achieve its sustainability goals and reducing environmental impact.
The high combustion temperature and specific flame characteristics of hydrogen in oxy-combustion enable optimal clinkerization processes, leading to improved fuel efficiency and lower energy consumption. By reducing airflow, oxy-combustion makes CO2 capture in exhaust gases easier to achieve as the volumes to proceed are highly reduced.
