1MW Asunción Solar Containerized Cement Plant

4 FAQs about 1MW Asunción Solar Containerized Cement Plant

Will Cemex & synhelion develop fully solar-driven cement production?

Cemex and Synhelion have made significant progress in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production. They have scaled their technology to industrially-viable levels, enabling the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement manufacturing, using only solar heat.

Will Cemex & synhelion build a pilot cement plant?

Cemex and Synhelion will now take further steps toward constructing a pilot cement plant powered by solar energy. Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex, stated, "I am convinced we are getting closer to the technologies that will enable net-zero CO₂ cement and concrete production.

Can solar clinker be used for cement production?

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.

Can a conventional cement plant be used for solar thermal applications?

A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application. According to Indian Minerals Yearbook 2020, the plant produced 2.37 million tons, while the production capacity of the plant is 4 million tons.
