Alternative fuels solutions to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emission

flsmidth alternative fuels solutionsAlternative fuels solutions brings you market leading products, solutions and services that help you reduce fuel costs and cut CO2 emissions.

Why alternative fuels?

  • Substantially reduce the CO2 emissions that lead to the greenhouse effect.
  • Put waste to good use by turning it into energy.
  • Save natural resources.
  • Dramatically reduce fuel costs in energy intensive industries.
  • Achieve zero fuel costs if feasible.
  • Convert fuel costs into earnings.

The power of alternative fuels

Global interest in alternative fuels is increasing. Alternative fuels hold many advantages for the cement and mineral industries – and we are committed to provide the technology that these industries need to fully utilise this powerful energy source.

Our expertise in alternative fuels offers you numerous advantages:

  • Design your new production process for alternative fuels.
  • Make use of the many alternative fuel services.
  • Let us take responsibility for implementing alternative fuel technology while maintaining reliable production.
  • Install designed quality products for alternative fuels.
  • To ensure that you get access to the latest market-leading technology, expertise and services, we invest substantially in the research and development of alternative fuel technology.

Prepare for the future

When designing your production process, it is worth taking future requirements into consideration. Gradual conversion to alternative fuel is a growing trend.

However, facilities can experience a 10-20% loss in capacity when primary firing alternative fuels. We help you ensure full capacity.

We also make sure your facility meets emission limits and that design and layout is suited for future (complete or partial) conversion to alternative fuels.

Your alternative fuels partner

When considering changing from fossil to alternative fuels, it is valuable to have a partner at your side to assist in assessing the various options.

In the early stages of a project, we can do a feasibility study for you – or assist you in specific fields of your own study. This may involve other parties as well as your own assessment. It may also involve environmental and legislative matters. Or it may simply comprise laboratory tests.

If you have already started to use alternative fuels, we can help you optimise your process. From ensuring you have mechanical handling equipment available – to maintaining capacity and meeting emission limits, we help you make the most of alternative fuels.

Project implementation

We can take full responsibility for implementing alternative fuel technology. This includes:

  • Retrofits.
  • Complete project implementation.
  • Calciner modification or replacement.
  • Burner replacement.
  • Fuel handling systems
