todaytheworld'slargestproducerofbricksandNo. 1 on theclayrooftilesmarket in Europe, with 215 plantsin 30 countries • EUR 2,355.5 miorevenuesand • 13,060 employees in 2012 • Our project idea applies for: • SPIRE 2 – 2014: Adaptable industrial processes allowing the use of renewables as flexible feedstock for chemical and energy applications
Substitution of fossil fuel with biomass • up to 30% reduction of CO2 • lower specific energy consumption [kWh/to fired product] • fossil fuel only used for high temperature processes, where substitution is very difficult • bolt on technology – exiting plants remain widely unchangedadaptable for all bricks & tiles plants • key technology for further use of low temperature energy sources e.g. solar heating, industrial waste heat, district heating, etc. • strengthen local economy • building with a clear conscience
Looking for partners… in the fields of: • biomass firing and heat generation • heat transfer systems • energy management systems • integrated process control systems • dissemination
