  1. ENERGY FROM WASTE : the contribution from the European cement industry Baudouin NIZET

  2. Energy from waste : the contribution from the European cement industry EU objectives : • Reduce emissions of CO2 • Increase energy self sufficiency / reduce imports of fossil fuels Current status : • Priority for RES Electricity • No objective / incentives for other thermal process with significant saving potentials

  3. Energy from waste : the case of the EU cement industry • Thermal substitution rate : 11 % • Yearly fossil fuel savings : 3.15 Mio T coal • CO2 saving : 7.4 Mio T CO2 + highly efficient energy recovery

  4. Energy from waste : critical issues • CO2 : • No incentives to use biogenic wastes in cement kilns (vs green certificates for power plants/incinerators) • CO2 exemption foreseen for incinerators in CO2 directive  Need to get CO2 exemption for waste recovered in co-combustion process (power plants, cement and lime kilns,…)

  5. Energy from waste : critical issues • Standardization of alternative fuels ? YES ! …but according to process specificities

  6. Energy from waste : critical issues • Improvement of EU legal framework for transborder shipment : • We need one single market for alternative fuels for recovery one single definition for recovery vs disposal  not Member state criterias ranging from 6 to 30 MJ/kg • We favour an EU definition of energy performance criteria
