The Most Advanced Alternative Technology for the Worldwide Cement Industry Confidential – August 2016
Introduction A key sector face to major issues Cement is an essential material for construction, which is one of the first industries in the world and one of the largest employers. A vital importance to housing and infrastructure, cement industry plays a key role in economic development … But The cement must combine Cost-effectiveness & Innovation Confidential – August 2016
The Market World cement consumption has more than doubled in 15 years. More than 4.2 billion tons of cement were consumed in 2014, The global cement market is sized at about 394,55 Billion U.S. dollars in 2015. 56% of expected growth within the next 15 years The cement industry is changing. Consumption is growing, driven by demand in emerging countries. Almost everywhere, the concentration of players is increasing. Production remains fundamentally local, except for some fragmented markets such as sub-Saharan Africa. Confidential – August 2016
Requirements of Cement Companies 3 big requirements 1. The cement industry is one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide and has significant social and environmental impacts. 2. It requires large investments that require funding and profitability over the long term. This sector, energy intensive, dependent on economic cycles and health in the construction sector; it makes operating and net very volatile business. 3. The consumer is changing, trade flows are redrawn, profitability standards change, while the environmental and social imperatives must necessarily be taken into account. Confidential – August 2016
Sustainability with Concrete Concrete plays a vital part in our daily lives Concrete shapes the built environment around us, from schools, hospitals and housing to roads, bridges, tunnels, runways, dams and sewerage systems. Few people realize that concrete is in fact the most used man-made material in the world, with three tons used annually for each man, woman and child. Twice as much concrete is used around the world than the total of all other building materials, including wood, steel, plastic and aluminium. Its superior properties on strength, durability, thermal mass and affordability make it the material of choice for most purposes. The production of concrete, notably its most important ingredient, cement, poses several sustainability issues that need to be managed: Cement production emits CO 2 and other air emissions, and the quarrying of raw materials produces local impacts such as noise and dust. Also, water use needs to be carefully looked at in locations where water is scarce. Given the ubiquitous use of the material, it is also important to talk about the sustainability of the structures that are built with concrete. In particular, concrete is a key component to build durable and energy-efficient buildings.. Confidential – August 2016
Global Technology Cement Roadmap Developing technologies for a low carbon cement industry Technology is a key pillar in the cement industry’s drive to reduce emissions levels and energy consumption. Research and development investments have enabled cement producers worldwide to install modern, energy-efficient technology in new, and to some extent, in existing, cement plants. New technologies have enabled increased use of clinker substitutes and alternative fuels in cement production, leading to significant direct (e.g. from limestone decarbonisation) CO2 emissions reductions. Technology developments have also enabled significant indirect emissions reductions (e.g. from electricity use). For example, cement production by companies in the ‘Getting the Numbers Right’ (GNR) global cement database increased by 53% between 1990 and 2006, whereas absolute net CO2 emissions increased by only 35%. But existing technologies alone cannot reduce cement industry CO2 emissions indefinitely. A break-through technology is needed. For the cement industry, this means research, development, and piloting of carbon capture technologies in cement plants, improvements to energy efficiency, and the development & widespread implementation of newer technologies.

Emerging Economies Booming infrastructure development fuels demand for cement 80% of the future emissions from cement plants will take place in China and India. For the global cement industry to become more sustainable, especially with regard to achieving significant cuts in CO 2 emissions, China in particular needs to be and has become an active contributor to climate protection efforts. Today China alone produces over half of the world’s cement, and this proportion is expected to rise further in the years to come, driven by continued economic development and cement demand as China provides housing and infrastructure for its burgeoning population. It is a delicate balancing act – cement is a key material for any country’s economic and social development, but the cement sector has an ecological footprint that it needs to manage over the long term.

A unique Cement is developed Impactful solutions for the cement industry A green cement has been developed Made of natural unprocessed minerals and salts and readily available industry waste streams (slag and fly ash) which react with each other chemically rather than being highly processed during production. Developed as a cementitious binder in which all the ingredients are premixed in a powdered form. The caustic components are only activated with the addition of water. The CO2 emissions are rated at around 26.4kg per ton and embodied energy consumption of 50kw hour per ton produced. The production process of the cement is 90 % more environmentally friendly and cost effective than traditional cement. Confidential – August 2016
