CHRYSO ALONGSIDE CEMENT PRODUCERS TO LOWER CEMENT CARBON FOOTPRINT

The global cement industry is moving towards carbon neutrality with ambitious roadmaps. Following the European Union initiative to put in place a carbon Emission Trading System (ETS), several countries or regions in the world are in motion to define ETS or carbon taxes. To include product importation, numerous territories set carbon boarder tax.

To reach the objectives, the Cement industry is develloping new processes and cements and several challenges are faced to ensure their performances. CHRYSO provides innovative additives and close support to cement producers to reach their objectives.

CHRYSO’s solutions enable reductions of clinker content , energy consumption and also lower alternative fuel and SCM impact on cement and concrete performance.

 

THE CEMENT INDUSTRY IS FULLY INVOLVED IN THE REDUCTION OF CEMENT CO2 FOOTPRINT

CO2 emissions have already been reduced by 30% since 1990 but, there is still room for lowering cement carbon footprint in accordance with cement quality Standards.

However, cement plants have reached such high level of optimization that it is increasingly challenging to reduce further clinker content.

CHRYSO provides solutions to achieve further optimization leading to substantial CO2 and cost savings for cement producers.

In recent projects, CHRYSO®Strength Enhancers have allowed to achieve considerable performance on blended cements.

 

Clinker and CO2 reduction

ACCELERATE CO2 EMISSIONS REDUCTION WITH LOW CARBON CEMENTS

New cements with lower carbon impact or the use of alternative SCM such as calcined clay require to overtake higher technical and operational challenges. The evolution of Standards (ie. EN NF 197-5 in Europe for CEM II/C-M and CEM VI) is one of the key success factors in the industry’s carbon neutral trajectory.

CHRYSO is working closely with cement producers to design high performance solutions taking into consideration cement reactivity, production modes and process characteristics.

ADDITIONAL LEVERS TO REDUCE CEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Preserving our natural resources is essential to CHRYSO.

Energy savings of the grinding workshop are possible by optimizing the process efficiency and productivity.

The use of locally available and low-quality mineral additions such as pond fly ashes, phosphogypsum, recycled crusched concrete fines contribute to lower environmental and cost impacts.

Because water is the most valuable resource, reducing water consumption either at concrete or cement stage is important. Injection of water in vertical roller mills can be reduced by improving mill stability.

CHRYSO offers a large range of additives including tailor-made products to further reduce the cement environmental footprint.
