Cement Decarbonisation Summit - 2024
Timing Session

0830 Registration & Coffee

0930-1000 Carbon Management in Cement Industry: Policy, Regulatory

Developments, Carbon Trading

Reducing CO2 emissions while producing enough cement to meet demand will be
challenging. Demand growth is expected to resume as the infrastructure and construction
projects grow. Moreover, the emissions intensity of production has increased since 2015,
largely due to a higher global clinker-to-cement ratio – although the rate of increase has
been slowing more recently.

1000-1030 Cement Industry and the Circular Economy

The cement value chain is well positioned to create closed loops, or automatically regulated
systems, for carbon dioxide, materials and minerals, and energy. This entails circular
economies, which are based on the principles of eliminating waste and pollution, circulating
products and materials, and regenerating nature.

1030-1100 Clinker Reduction and Low Carbon Cement Development

Compared with traditional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) — which contains more than 90
percent clinker and emits 0.6 tons of CO2 equivalent on average per ton of cement —
low-carbon cement can reduce process emissions by anywhere from 10 percent to 100
percent. Low-carbon cement tackles carbon emissions by directly targeting the ‘clinker,’ the
most energy- and carbon-intensive part of the cement manufacturing process.

1100-1130 Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage technologies for Indian Cement
Industry

The implementation of carbon capture, use, and storage in the cement industry is a
necessity, not an option if the climate targets are to be met. Although very few capture
technologies have reached commercial scale demonstration in the cement sector yet, much
progress has been made in the last decade. This session intends to provide a general
overview of the CO2 capture technologies that have been evaluated so far in the cement
industry at the pilot scale, and also about the current plans for future commercial
demonstration.

1130-1145 Networking & Coffee Break

1145–1215 Digitalisation and smart plants, including AI/ML for kiln optimisation and
maintenance

Across your cement flowsheet, your equipment offers a wealth of information about how
efficiently your process is performing. Capturing this data in real-time is key to achieving
optimum performance – as well as increasing the availability factor. That’s where digital tools
come into their own. Enabling you to adjust and optimise operating parameters, spot
potential problems before they have the chance to escalate, and take advantage of our
remote services to diagnose, troubleshoot, and even make adjustments from afar. It’s all
possible with digitalisation.

1215-1245 The strategic role of digital EPD data in encouraging rapid innovation &
better low-carbon cements

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an independently verified report on the

environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. EPDs provide objective,
transparent, and comparable information about a product and serve as an environmental
label or declaration. An EPD will usually remain valid for five years – unless there are major
changes to production practices or environmental impacts of energy and input materials
change.

1245-1315 Making high-performance low-carbon cement replacements from

calcareous fly ash

Fly ash can be utilised as a cement replacement, reducing cement usage, thus
environmentally and economically beneficial. Fly ash makes concrete workable; increasing
its levels may reduce water demand and superplasticizer needs.
Cement Decarbonisation Summit - 2024
1315-1415 Networking & Lunch Break

1415-1445 Carbon mitigation/low-carbon production technologies

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the cement industry account for 26% of the total
industrial emissions, and the need to develop low-carbon techniques within the cement
industry is extremely urgent. Low-carbon projects and technologies for the cement industry
in different regions and countries. For developing countries such as China and India, energy
saving and efficiency enhancement are currently the key points, while for developed
countries and regions such as Europe, more efforts have been focused on carbon capture,
utilization, and storage (CCUS).

1445-1515 Reduction of CO2 through optimisation of cement packaging

Traditionally, cement is packed in sewn-in woven sacks made of polypropylene tape fabric.
While cement bags are recyclable, the industry needs more packaging options to reduce its
carbon footprint. Hence, there is a focus on innovating new packaging that is biodegradable
or lighter in weight, as even a few grams of reduced weight can make a significant difference
in the overall carbon footprint.

1515-1545 Phosphogypsum as an alternative raw material for Portland cement

production

Use of industrial by-products as construction material can help to achieve sustainability in

this industry. Phosphogypsum, a by-product in the phosphoric acid manufacturing process,
is produced in bulk quantities especially from the fertilizer industry, and typically used as a
supplementary fertilizer for soil treatment. The material has, therefore, tried to incorporate in
cement manufacturing considering its sustainable use. Phosphogypsum could be used as a
substitute for natural gypsum in the production of Portland cement to control the hydration
reaction rate of cement.

1545-1600 Networking & Coffee Break

1600-1630 Bio-based cement for ground improvement applications and self-healing

concrete

Self-healing concrete is also sometimes known as bio-concrete. In this concrete, bacteria

spores that release limestone are co-cast into the concrete, If water penetrates the concrete,
this 'wakes up' these bacterial spores and they begin to produce limestone.

1630-1700 Grey2green - Heading for the Sustainable Cement Plant

Amidst increasing demand, the cement industry is standing at a critical juncture where it
must address environmental concerns attached with manufacturing such as reducing
energy consumption, slashing emissions and becoming more sustainable. The industry
must emerge as a key contributor in creating a zero-carbon, cleaner and greener future by
leveraging innovation and technology and help India achieve its sustainable development
goals faster.

1700-1730 Upcycle Waste Heat and save money

Cement companies continue to make new investments in waste heat recovery systems
(WHRS) installations. The sector’s overall cost has spiked in recent quarters mainly because of
high fuel costs. Against this backdrop, WHRS is a saviour. It traps the enormous heat
generated during manufacturing and generates electricity, which can be used as an
additional source of power. Thus, it helps reduce energy costs.

1730-1800 Flash Calcining Technology for Alternative Cementitious Binders

The flash calcination process increased the percentage of amorphous oxides by almost 20%.
During the pozzolanic reaction, amorphous silica reacts with portlandite CH to form
additional C-S-H, which takes part in the densification of the cementitious matrix.

0930-1000 Net Zero Mining Challenges and Opportunities

Megatrends such as social value, the energy transition, climate change and digitalization are
affecting every aspect of mining. And while there will be challenges, there are opportunities,
too.

1000-1030 Roadmap Ingredients for a Net Zero Mine

For all miners, reaching net-zero will mean decarbonizing their sources of power and
material movement first. Wood MacKenzie research shows that, depending on the
commodity, total mine site emissions that come from power can be anywhere from 48% to
84% of total mine site emissions.

1030-1100 Rethinking Mine Design for A Zero-Carbon Future

1100-1130 The Energy Transition and Mine Electrification

More miners are also investing in the electrification of their vehicle fleets to reduce emissions,
reduce costs and improve the health and safety of workers. While location and life-of-mine
and design considerations will need to be factored into the decision to go electric, there is a
cost-reduction potential for moving to battery electric vehicles. Research shows the total cost
of ownership of a battery electric vehicle for mining could be around 15% to 20% lower than
diesel trucks due to lower maintenance and fuel costs.

1130-1145 Networking & Coffee Break

1145–1215 Carbon Capture Imperatives and Opportunities in Mining

Anthropogenic activities contribute significantly to the increase in greenhouse gases in the

atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Emissions of carbon dioxide
(CO2) during ore extraction and beneficiation processes are known to play a substantial role.
However, mining waste and abandoned mines have the capacity to sequester CO2 from the
atmosphere, which could be a sustainable solution to mitigate climate change.

1215-1245 Water Management and Sustainability

Water is so vital to mining that without it there is no mining. Therefore water management
and sustainability are detrimental to the future success of the mining sector. Water efficiency
improvements have been made by adopting new technologies, more efficient processes,
incorporating reuse and recycling, and finding alternative sources of water.

1245-1315 Optimizing Renewable Energy for Mines to Achieve Climate Goals

More miners are investing in renewable energy solutions to help decarbonize their
operational emissions and lower current and future carbon-price exposure. There's also
potential for miners to use excess land to develop renewables, particularly in remote
locations where energy supply is a challenge. Another opportunity for miners is bundling
renewables with energy storage solutions to balance supply and demand. Any excess power
generated by renewables can also be sold to utility companies to help generate revenues and
offset costs.

1315-1415 Networking & Lunch Break

1415-1445 Carbon Offsetting in Mining

Many miners are navigating the rapidly changing landscape for carbon offset targets,
especially over the past year as the long-disaggregated market becomes more standardized,
regulated and transparent. There are concerns about 'greenwashing' with the use of carbon
offsets, which miners will need to consider. Still, offsets are expected to become an important
part of long-term net-zero and decarbonization targets, particularly with hard-to-abate
emissions.
Mining Decarbonisation Summit - 2024
1445-1515 Data Management and Integrity in Mining

Data management and integrity in ESG reporting are increasingly critical in the mining
industry as investors and governments pay closer attention to climate change risk. There will
be even greater demand for data as the reporting environment evolves. Miners will need to
continuously improve the quality of the data to keep up with the evolving standards,
including tracing its origin and making it available in real-time.

1515-1545 Biodiversity and Ecosystem Restoration

Restoration and reclamation of post-mining and post-industrial sites aim at mitigating the
adverse impacts of mining on the environment and human health. Regeneration is, however,
a long process, as affected ecosystems have lost their biodiversity and most of their
ecosystem functions and services.

1545-1600 Networking & Coffee Break

1600-1630 Optimising Onsite Processing Plants

On mine sites, generally over 50% of the energy used is spent on crushing rock in the
processing plant. In fact, 3% of global energy production every year is used to crush rock. This
provides possibly the biggest challenge to a carbon neutral mine. However, with this
challenge there is also a wealth of opportunities for improvements. Mills are constantly being
improved to increase efficiency.

1630-1700 Mine Rehabilitation and Closure Planning

While closure is an inevitable part of the mining lifecycle, it brings challenges in physical
decommissioning and site remediation and in mitigating the socio-economic costs for host
communities. The way in which closure and rehabilitation are planned, communicated, and
delivered can have an impact on mine owners and operators’ reputation and their future
license to operate, with a positive legacy being an indicator of business success.

1700-1730 Advanced Mining Technologies for Sustainable Operations

Autonomous drill rigs and haulage systemsdeliver safety, efficiency and precision.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are used to conduct site surveys and inspections. Advanced
remote monitoring systems are being used at tailings storage facilities (TSFs), an area of
increased focus in sustainable and responsible mining.

1730-1800 Fleet Decarbonization Strategies and Next Steps for Mining OEMs

Replacing the diesel utilised in transport is one of the key points considered for the 2030
target, given the high contribution in scope 1 emissions. Nevertheless, replacing the fleet
with electric consumption would also increase scope 2 emissions; thus the goal is not set in
the overhaul of the fleet per se, but in the decarbonisation measures. Not only do companies
have to plan the electrification, but also how to increase its low-emissions sources for
electricity. Besides electrification, hydrogen is a potential candidate and primary interest of
some mining companies

0930-1000 Decarbonising an Industry – An Overview on Policy, Goals, Milestones,

Demand for Green Steel

Steel production directly accounts for about 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions. With the
regulation and emission conscious customers becoming more demanding by the day, major
steelmakers are exploring greener production pathways. The transition will take time and a lot of
money and the newer processes could add to complexity necessitating newer raw materials and
inputs. New technologies and value chain changes are likely to help some of these hurdles which
are daunting and herculean.

1000-1030 Challenges to the Green Transition & Potential Strategies to Overcome

Each opportunity for decarbonisation has a hurdle associated with it. Carbon capture has
technical challenges in the shape of engineering and integrating into production process. Shift
to DRI EAF pathway is complicated by access to raw materials and other inputs. DRI processes
face challenges around sufficient scrap volumes, high quality ore and further the DRI processes
requiring hydrogen face the high cost of hydrogen at this juncture. How will the industry be able
to navigate around these challenges.

1030-1100 Circular Economy Practices for Decarbonisation of Steel: Challenges and

Opportunities

Steel manufacturing based on scrap consumes around one-eighth of the energy required in
steel production using iron ore. This advantage has resulted in high steel recycling rates. Steel
scrap accounts for ~30% of raw materials required for meeting global steel demand. Apart from
lower energy consumption it also means Reduced GHG emissions, Low natural resource
consumption and Reduced landfill burden. Is scrap based electric arc furnace model the best
option for decarbonisation.

1100-1130 Carbon Capture & Utilisation Opportunities for Indian Steel Industry

The iron and steel industry is a dominant carbon emission source in India. CCUS is an important
potential technology for large-scale carbon reduction. Globally, four kinds of integrated schemes
of CCUS in the iron and steel industry are being evaluated, including “synergistic chemical
utilization of hydrogen resource and CO2”, “steel slag mineralization and carbon fixation in
coordination with solid waste disposal”, “microalgae biological carbon fixation collaborative
wastewater treatment”, and “CO2geological utilization and storage”. Which of these presents an
opportunity for Indian Industry to decarbonise faster at a lower cost.

1130-1145 Networking & Coffee Break

1145–1215 Hydrogen Direct Iron Reduction (DRI) Steelmaking for Reduced Emissions

Transition to hydrogen as a primary reducing agent in steelmaking processes. Iron ore is reduced
with hydrogen while in a solid state, hence the name direct reduction, to produce direct reduced
iron (DRI) called sponge iron. Sponge iron is then fed into an EAF, where electrodes generate a
current to melt the sponge iron to produce steel. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable
energy, is particularly beneficial as it emits no carbon when used in steel production.

1215-1245 Challenges in Scaling up Net-Zero Technologies for Steel Industry

Global estimates suggest that the investment for setting up DRI steel plants with upstream
green hydrogen generation could reach INR 3.5 Lakhs/tonne. Additionally, the cost of green
hydrogen at Rs 300-400/kg is higher than the cost of grey hydrogen at Rs 160-220/kg. Similarly,
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plants also have a high capital cost. For CCS, there is a lack of
data on the availability of potential geological storage sites and their capacities.

1245-1315 Steelmaking Value Chain Shifts

To secure scarce inputs some steelmakers globally are moving upstream, some are working
towards producing their own Green hydrogen, some are adding renewable power to activities
and some are acquiring scrap recycling companies. There is a closer collaboration happening
between steel producers and suppliers. In fact the sustainability focus is so high that some are
even considering geographic splitting of ironmaking from steelmaking.
Steel Decarbonisation Summit - 2024
1315-1415 Networking & Lunch Break

1415-1445 Replacing the BF with a low-carbon alternative, while keeping the BOF
Operational

DRI–EAF production plants require higher- grade iron ore than BF–BOF production
methods, because insufficiently dense iron ore can create acidic slag which can corrode the
EAF assets and, in the longer term, lead to decreasing yields. To mitigate this challenge, some
global steel producers are also looking into DRI investments that use open slag bath furnaces
(or reduced electric furnaces) with BOF, known as DRI–Melt–BOF. The open slag bath furnace
acts as a melting unit before putting the iron into the BOF, which allows lower-grade iron ore
to be used. At the same time, existing BOF assets can still be used.

1445-1515 Is Electrolysis Steel a Viable and Scalable Option for Low Carbon Steel

In electrolysis, iron ore is dissolved in a solvent of silicon dioxide and calcium oxide at 1,600°C,
and an electric current passed through it. Negatively-charged oxygen ions migrate to the
positively charged anode, and the oxygen bubbles off. Positively-charged iron ions migrate to
the negatively- charged cathode where they are reduced to elemental iron. If the electricity
used is carbon-free, then iron is produced without emissions of CO2.

1515-1545 Biomass Reductants: Evaluating it as a short to midterm Opportunity

In order to reduce CO2 emissions in the iron and steel sector, more focus has recently been
dedicated to utilizing renewable biomass as a reducing source as well as a source of heating
rather than fossil fuels. Partially substituting renewable biomass products and thermally
treated biomass in place of fossil fuels in iron and steel-making processes is one of the few
choices that may be implemented in the short and medium-term, both from an economical
and technical point of view.

1545-1600 Networking & Coffee Break

1600-1630 Framing mechanisms and frameworks for Financing the Green Steel
Transition

Financing is critical in making the steel sector transition work. Increasing access to
sustainable finance, such as green bonds or sustainability bonds, and access to concessional
finance could move green investments in the near term.

1630-1700 Impact of CBAM on Indian Steel Industry’s Sustainability Initiatives

The carbon intensity of Indian products is significantly higher than that of the EU and many
other countries because coal dominates the overall energy consumption. The proportion of
coal-fired power in India is close to 75%, which is much higher than the EU (15%) and the
global average (36%). Therefore, direct and indirect emissions from iron and steel and
aluminium are a major concern for India as higher emissions would translate to higher
carbon tariffs to be paid to the EU.

1700-1730 Insights into the Draft Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and
Potential benefits for Steel Industry

1730-1800 Green Steel Standards

There is currently no clear standard for low-carbon or green steel. Existing green steel
standards are based on emissions or production processes, and the qualifying thresholds for
emissions intensity can vary from 2.5 tonnes CO2 per tonne of crude steel to almost zero.
Government policy can reduce the number of low-carbon standards, steel definitions and
certifications, and guide buyers in their decision-making

manageable levels, a large decrease in CO2 emissions through separation and utilization will be
required.

1100-1130 Feedstock Innovation for Chemical Decarbonisation

Manufacturing chemicals is energy-intensive, with some critical processes producing large

amounts of CO2 as a by-product. And because many chemicals are made from carbon, products
can release CO2 or methane if they are incinerated or decomposed at the end of their lives as
part of waste management. These factors make it particularly difficult for the chemical industry
to cut emissions to reach net-zero emissions. Explore alternative feedstocks, such as bio-based or
recycled materials, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels as the primary raw materials for chemical
production.
