Alternative Solutions

The cement industry is highly energy-intensive, consuming approximately 7% of global industrial energy consumption each year. Improving production technology is a good strategy to reduce the energy needs of a cement plant. The market offers a wide variety of alternative solutions; besides, the literature already provides reviews of opportunities to improve energy efficiency in a cement plant. However, the technology is constantly developing, so the available alternatives may change within a few years. To keep the knowledge updated, investigating the current attractiveness of each solution is pivotal to analyze real companies. This article aims at describing the recent application in the Italian cement industry and the future perspectives of technologies. A sample of plant was investigated through the analysis of mandatory energy audit considering the type of interventions they have recently implemented, or they intend to implement. The outcome is a descriptive analysis, useful for companies willing to improve their sustainability. Results prove that solutions to reduce the energy consumption of auxiliary systems such as compressors, engines, and pumps are currently the most attractive opportunities. Moreover, the results prove that consulting sector experts enables the collection of updated ideas for improving technologies, thus giving valuable inputs to the scientific research.

LMDI (Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index) was used to estimates the carbon emission of industrial energy consumption in Hunan Province with collected data on industrial energy consumption in 2000-2012. The results showed that carbon emissions of industrial energy consumption present the overall upward trend in Hubei Province, where the carbon emissions of coal consumption are the main factors, this shows that the industry of Hubei is extensive development withhigh energy consumption. In addition, industrial carbon intensity has a fluctuated downward trend in 2011-2012; this shows that Hubei province has made ​​a positive change on control carbon emissions of energy consumption.
