4. Double improvement of economic and environmental benefits! Alternative fuels help cement enterprises reduce costs and carbon emissions

. At present, many cement enterprises have focused on alternative fuels. Data show that if 40% of alternative fuels are used in cement production, about 100000 tons of carbon dioxide will be saved for every 1 million tons of clinker produced. As a key area of energy saving and carbon reduction, the use of alternative fuels in cement can not only reduce the cost pressure of enterprises, but also reduce carbon emissions, so as to achieve both economic and environmental benefits. In recent years, many cement enterprises, such as Conch Cement, Tianshan Stock, Huaxin Cement and Tapai Group, are accelerating the promotion of non-fossil energy alternative fuels and the implementation of green energy structure.
