Led by Mineral Productions Association This project will investigate the potential for zero-carbon fuel sources such as biomass, hydrogen and electricity in cement production. Physical trials will be run to switch energy input from fossil fuels to cleaner fuels at two cement manufacturing sites. This could yield emissions savings up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 per year if implemented across the UK cement industry. Contract value: £3.2 million
