Sustainble Energy Solutions in Reinforcing Cement Manufacturing with Energy Efficiency

Concerns about global Climate and sustainable energy are perhaps among the most inevitable and fanatical issues of the present time. To tackle concerns arising from high energy consumption and its adverse environmental impact, in recent years has caused manufacturers to establish energy management cell and policymakers to formulate policies. These Policies and required to be firmly held, in order to meet the urgency of finding the ways of limiting green house gases (GHG) emissions, Particularly CO2 generated from the combustion, Coal predominantly required for production. Cement production has been one of the most energy intensive industries in the world and the escalated cost of manufacturing because of the prices of fuels, policy Norms and raw material have resulted in a focused approach for significant reduction in specific energy consumption levels in cement plants. Effective planning to improve energy efficiency, retrofitting of energy efficient equipment/systems, technology up gradation, process optimization, appropriate maintenance and management, energy monitoring through energy audits are the various measures found by manufacturers and policy makers to reduce the specific energy consumption levels in cement plants. The readers of this paper will savour the flavor of energy auditing and identified technological opportunities in order to decrease energy consumption of the relevant factories and improved production process. This study also highlights a variety of ways formulated in set of policies with statutory compliances, guidelines and technologies to reduce specific consumption and the various measures for conserving energy in cement plants. Relevant standards planned by government that can provide significant potentials, are discussed too.
