Abstract

The share of global CO 2 emissions deriving from the cement industry is about 5%. More than 50% of these are process-related and cannot be avoided. This paper addresses the application of CO 2 capture technology to the cement industry. Analyses focusing on post-combustion technology for cement plants are carried out on the basis of detailed model calculations. Different heat supply variants for the regeneration of loaded wash solution were investigated. CO 2 avoidance costs are in a range of 77 to 115 EUR/tCO 2 . The achievable CO 2 avoidance rate for the investigated cases was determined to be 70% to 90%. CO 2 reduction potentials were identified using CCS technology, focusing on the German cement industry as a case study. The results show that adopting carbon capture technology could lead to a significant reduction in CO 2 emissions.
