    1. Biomass Use in the Cement Sector

    2. Renewable Energy – Biomass is Different Solar The sun shines at no cost BUT not all the time and cannot be stored Wind The wind blows at no cost BUT not all the time and cannot be stored Biomass Fuel must be produced BUT can be stored and used on demand (dispatchable)

    3. Challenge 1: Producing biomass fuels

    4. Challenge 2: Cost of Biomass Fuels

    5. OMAFRA model Estimated Delivered Cost per Unit Heat Release

    6. Challenge 3: the Quality of Biomass as a Fuel

    7. Lafarge Objectives Develop sustainable green fuels to meet expected carbon cost programs Sustainable means all 3 of… Economic Environmentally Sound Socially positive Three projects Life Cycle Assessment Biomass Trial Green Fuel Standard

    8. So, how does one grow fuel? Lafarge has completed a project from seed to flame. Following are some photos of the process and what worked and what didn’t and what we’d do differently

    9. Planting and Yield

    10. Harvesting

    11. Baling and transportation

    12. Storage

    13. From Bale to Shredded Biomass

    14. Shredded & Mixed Biomass

    15. Biomass Unloading

    16. Biomass Ready to Process

    17. Moving Biomass from Field to Fuel

    18. Injection

    19. Combustion
