Application of System Dynamic Modelling for Evaluation of CO2 Emissions and Expenditure for Captive Power Generation Scenarios in the Cement Industry

Cement manufacturing is an emission-intensive process. The cement industry responsible for 8% of the global CO2 emissions, and produces a ton uses up to 102 kWh electrical energy, leading significant amount indirect emissions depending on emission intensity electricity source. Captive power generation can be potentially utilised as mitigation approach reduce well expenditure tariffs. In this study, system dynamic simulation model built evaluate impact captive plant’s net through use, under different scenarios carbon-tax, grid factor, then simulate reference plant realistic designed based conditions in Germany United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, calculate payback period investments plants carbon tax scenarios. study concludes that policy utilisation could have incentivising use would lead fewer during lifetime.
