Cement is the most widely utilised artificial material in the world and is second only to water as the most-consumed resource on the planet.
This also presents a significant opportunity for the cement industry to play a leading role in reducing CO₂ emissions (roughly 8% of the world's total). At Perpetual Next, we understand the magnitude of this challenge and the need for a comprehensive approach for companies in the industry.
We consider it our 'beautiful' task to support the cement sector in its journey towards a Net Zero future. This is not only an environmental responsibility, but a critical factor in enhancing the competitiveness and longevity of your company.
So let's connect.
“Our cement production plant has performed trials where biocoal has been used to substitute fossil fuel in the clinker burning process.
Perpetual Next has supported the plant from the start.
The results from trials have been positive: maintained performance in pyro process, the clinker quality is good, cement test done on produced clinker, quality good and within standard limits.“
- Project Manager of Cement Production Plant
Are you a producer of clinker-based cement? Are you looking for solutions on clinker replacement, like calcined clay? In this transition phase between traditional emission-intensive production towards Net Zero, you are faced with important decisions to safeguard the future of your company and perpetuate your business.
Perpetual Next’s renewable carbon products are developed and produced from sustainable and circular sources, such as demolition wood and forestry and agricultural residues. They contain fewer contaminants than fossil carbon sources and can be used directly without CAPEX intensive modifications of the production unit. We have the solution for different production variants of construction materials.
With our support you can now reduce your carbon footprint.
Examples of fossil carbon avoidance applications:
Example of carbon removal applications:
We seek to understand your process and your challenge and work in close collaborations to develop tailor made solutions. Thanks to our advanced R&D, we can provide solutions in the form of renewable carbon products and carbonisation technologies for your production process.
Cement production based in calcination reactions practices will continue to release CO2 due to its fundamental chemistry. We have solutions to make your process more sustainable.
Organic residues to biocoal
In Vägari, Estonia, a biocoal plant based on Perpetual Next's C-Vertr V technology has been under construction since 2020. A total of eight to ten reactors will be installed in the plant, capable of producing 120 kilotons of biocoal per year.
Organic residues, B-wood & SRF to biocoal
In Dilsen-Stokkem, Belgium, a biocoal plant based on Perpetual Next's C-Vertr R technology has been in operation since 2010. This site has a nameplate capacity of 27,700 t/y of biocoal output.
