Utilization of Waste for Energy Generation in Clinker Production: Environmental Perspective
Özet
Meeting the increasing energy need from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas caused the
rapid depletion of natural resources. In a world where the need for energy is constantly increasing
and resources are getting scarce, it is necessary to ensure the sustainability of energy. Clinker
production is a process which require high amount of energy in manufacturing industry. The fact
that energy is mostly obtained from coal, which is a non-renewable fuel, puts the future of the
sustainability of cement production at risk. Alternative fuel usage plays the most important role in
achieving more than one goal, such as protecting natural resources and utilization of waste. In this
study, data was obtained from Turkish cement factories which used waste for fuel generation in
clicker production in year 2017. The data was evaluated and amount of coal that could be saved
annually was calculated. Results revealed that a10934.573 TJ of energy was obtained from the use
of waste for alternative fuel in 2017 in Turkey thus, it is demonstrated that 918871 tons of
nonrenewable fuel-lignite coal could be preserved.
