Coal for cement: Present and future trends

Written by Amy Saunders & Peter Edwards, Global Cement Magazine
01 March 2016

Coal

Coal provides around 90% of the energy consumed by cement plants around the world, despite the environmental harm caused by its combustion. It takes 200 - 450kg of coal to produce 1t of cement.
