The Indian cement industry is under pressure to reduce CO2 emissions that occur by using fossil fuels when burning cement in a kiln. As a result, the use of alternative fuels within the cement industry is rising globally. The largest share of these alternative fuels applies to Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) that is produced from waste. In Europe, the use of alternative fuels in the cement industry amounts in some countries to more than 80%. In this webinar, the status of RDF use in cement kilns in India is discussed, along with technical requirements and solutions.
