T-2A1-2 - Shift to electricity 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 the energy from coal combustion with electrical processes, where applicable, can reduce emissions.

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-3 - Electricity usage within cement and minerals industries
