There is concern that the necessary increase in construction using these materials may have a detrimental impact on the environment. The cement industry has already implemented the use of alternative fuels. The substitution of fossil fuels with fuels derived from waste materials has resulted in a significant drop in emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Burning waste as a fuel source is beneficial for both communities and manufacturers, as it transforms waste into a productive resource, eliminating the need for costly disposal or storage. Using pre-existing infrastructure conserves further resources, as the heat generated from incineration is harnessed as useful energy, rather than being wasted in a municipal plant. Manufacturers also benefit from this method. Substituting pricey fossil fuels with a readily available resource that people are eager to dispose of is cost-saving for businesses.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is an issue with this approach. Alternative fuels derived from waste materials tend to vary significantly in terms of the materials they are composed of. On top of this, they also may have different levels of moisture and varied distributions of particle size. Some of these fuels can even contain toxic elements such as mercury, thallium, or cadmium. These elements can potentially cause illegal or harmful emissions. Some other elements like Chlorine and Sulfur for instance could also have adverse effects on the cement properties and on the process itself. Finally, these variations can also modify the temperature and atmosphere in the rotary kilns, leading potentially to heterogeneous and inappropriate clinker.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcement.com\/europe-cis\/25102023\/trash-into-treasure-using-waste-to-fuel-greener-construction\/\">World Cement<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/trash-into-treasure-using-waste-to-fuel-greener-construction\/\">Trash into treasure: using waste to fuel greener construction<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3801,4900,575,445],"class_list":["post-117951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cement","tag-construction","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
