Resource Efficiency and Low Carbon Solutions for Cement in Africa

active

The project will include two components: (1) Firm-Level work: direct advice to clients; and (2) Sector-level work: work with groups of firms, private and government stakeholders to increase awareness around innovative technologies and create demonstration effect from the firm-level interventions. The team will support cement manufacturing facilities in (i) developing and implementing resource efficiency and low-carbon solutions throughout the cement value chain, including in sourcing of raw inputs, clinker manufacturing, grinding and output of the final product, and production of cementitious materials, and/or (ii) shifting to cleaner, low-carbon alternative fuels and raw materials. The solutions may include thermal and electric energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, and use of alternative waste-derived fuels.
