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.
The Synhelion and CEMEX R&D teams set up a pilot batch production unit to produce clinker from concentrated solar radiation by connecting the clinker production process with the Synhelion solar receiver. The pilot was installed at the Very High Concentration Solar Tower of IMDEA Energy, located in Spain.
Ambrosetti said that the facility will provide enough heat to produce “clinker” concrete without using fossil fuels. “Clinker is produced in a rotary kiln at temperatures nearing 1,500 C. Fossil fuels are typically used to heat the kiln and are responsible for approximately 40% of direct CO 2 emissions,” the company claims.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
