Status The environmentally sound utilization of
alternative fuels and raw materials in the cement industry is an
important development in most parts of Europe. Increased use of
alternative fuels and raw materials would enable the industry to
save energy costs and helps to reduce waste disposal costs. Moreover,
this would involve a contribution to environmental protection, e.g.
by saving natural resources and lowering
CO2-emissions. Obviously, there should be no
adverse affects in relation to stack
emissions or release
to soil and groundwater from cement-based materials produced
from alternative fuels and alternative raw materials.
