CemZero plasmaklinker


Klinker, själva råvaran i cement, har nu framställts på elektrisk väg med hjälp av plasma. Plasmatekniken innebär att gas hettas upp genom att blåsa den genom en elektrisk ljusbåge istället för uppvärmning med fossila bränslen. Tekniken ger en direkt minskning av koldioxidutsläppen och koncentrerar de återstående utsläppen så de enklare kan fångas in. Clinker, the actual raw material in cement, has now been produced with electricity using plasma. The plasma technique means that gas is heated by blowing it through an electric arc instead of heating with fossil fuels. The technology provides a direct reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and concentrates the remaining emissions so that they can be more easily captured.
