T-2A1-1 - Shift to use biofuel in cement and mineral industry

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

The second greatest source of emissions from cement production comes from the heating of the kiln. This is often done using coal. Replacing coal with biological waste material can reduce emissions, as biological materials would have caused emissions through natural degradation anyway.

Transition Element

• Type of shift: Type Shift
• Activity: TBD
• Operation: TBD
• ATOC: TBD

Activities

Shift from:

• A-2A4a-1 - Coal usage within cement and minerals industries

Shift to:

• A-2A4a-2 - Biomass usage within cement and minerals industries
