Mimicking Plant Stems for Power Generation Inspired by nature and engineered for the built environment, researchers have created a cement-based material that does more than
Addressing renewable energy intermittency, and the need for grid upgrades and strategic infrastructure investments are critical to enabling the transition to low-carbon cement
Thus, the proposed model can help minimize the impact on grid instability and the cost of energy consumption of an industrial customer. Scenarios such as the variation of the
Here, we for the first time endow cement with energy storage functionality by developing cement-based solid-state energy storage wallboards (CSESWs), which can utilize
Optimisation models parametrised by process simulation results were utilised to assess the economic costs and carbon emission reduction performance of the solar driven

Concentrated solar power system is designed for cement industry. Substitution of required thermal energy ranging from 100% to 50% is studied. 7600 heliostats with 570 ha land required for 50% conventional energy replacement with solar energy. Selected conventional cement plant could save 419 thousand tons of CO 2 annually.
Solar cement plant was designed based on cement production and the Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) data available at plant location. Total thermal energy and the amount of land needed for the solar cement factory were analysed. Additionally, total mirror surface, number of heliostats, and land requirement are estimated.
Gonzalez and Flamant (2013) designed a hybrid model that uses solar and fossil fuel energy to fulfill the thermal energy requirement for cement manufacturing. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) is a potential replacement for 40%–100% of the thermal energy needed in a conventional cement plant.
Location and DNI availability of the investigated plant A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application.
