It’s reassuring to see that biomass is being considered as an alternative fuel source to fossil fuels in large, energy-dependent industries such as the cement industry.
A recent publication from the Centre of Excellence in Smart Construction from Heriot-Watt University includes a preliminary report submitted to the UAE Cement Decarbonisation Delivery Group (CDDG) titled “Materials & Waste Management for Decarbonisation of the Cement Industry in the UAE”. The paper reports on work undertaken by the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and led by the Centre of Excellence in Smart Construction (CESC) at Heriot-Watt University to decarbonise the cement industry in line with the UAE strategy and commitment to become a net-zero carbon country by 2050.
