EQUIPO - Fuel

Bituminous alternative – heat from waste, gain for the environment.

Shredded bituminous mass is an innovative alternative fuel with a high calorific value (up to 26 MJ/kg), ideal for co-incineration in cement kilns.

It helps reduce CO₂ emissions, minimizes landfill waste, and significantly lowers energy costs for industrial plants.

In response to growing environmental demands and the need to reduce CO₂ emissions, more and more cement plants are implementing circular economy strategies. One innovative solution is the use of recycled shredded bituminous mass from roofing materials as a high-calorific alternative fuel for rotary kilns.

High Calorific Value

An efficient energy source for industry. Thanks to its high calorific value (up to 25–30 MJ/kg), alternative fuel can effectively replace traditional fossil fuels, thereby reducing emissions and costs.
