WHR as the future of energy-efficient cement production

Waste heat recovery offers one of the most immediate opportunities to decarbonise the cement industry. By capturing energy that would otherwise be lost from kilns and clinker coolers, cement producers can cut emissions, lower energy costs and improve efficiency. Using organic Rankine cycle technology, waste heat recovery is emerging as a scalable solution that turns industrial waste heat into valuable electricity. By Holcim, Orcan and E.ON, Germany
