For the first time ever, CEMEX and Synhelion successfully connected the clinker production process with the Synhelion solar receiver, producing solar clinker. This revolutionary innovation is an initial step to develop fully solar-driven cement plants.
This revolutionary innovation is an initial step to develop fully solar-driven cement plants. CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) and Synhelion announced today the successful production of the world’s first solar clinker, the key component of cement, a significant step towards developing fully solar-driven cement plants.
Anyway, solar integration in auxiliary processes to the kiln system like preheating of combustion air and fuel, can be conceivable. Regarding all these, a stepwise solar hybridization into existing cement plants is required, as well as a storage system to achieve higher solar fractions and to operate the cement process continuously.
Regarding all these, a stepwise solar hybridization into existing cement plants is required, as well as a storage system to achieve higher solar fractions and to operate the cement process continuously. A decade of very hot solar thermo-chemistry research has been done on testing solar calciner on lab-scale.
