Cement Energy Environment

46 Key recommendations for achieving these objectives 1. Increase the use of clinker substitutes • Promote the development and acceptance of new cement standards. • Promote and encourage the propagation of good practices and R&D, to create better understanding of opportunities in clinker substitutes. • Develop campaigns and training events and awareness for the actors in the entire length of the cement supply chain. 2. Encourage and enable the use of alternative fuels • Modify existing legislation • Create specific legislation on co-processing of Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) • Encourage other ways of disposing of waste, promoting isonomic conditions of competitiveness between disposal methods. • Promote the creation of an energy policy that accelerates the transition from an economy based on fossil fuels to a low carbon economy. • Encourage the development and use of new alternative fuels, especially biomass. 3. Promote the adoption of best available technologies in energy efficiency for new plants and retrofits • Share the best practices on a national and international level for the promotion of energy efficiency and reduction of CO 2 emissions in the cement industry. • Create or identify the available mechanisms for financing both on a public and private, national, and international level.
