Asia-Pacific Partners account for
61 per cent of the world’s cement production. The cement
Task Force would facilitate the uptake of best available technology and
environmental
management systems in Partnership countries. This would be through the
introduction and/or replacement of old technology (primarily the wet kiln
process) in favour of dry processing technologies, energy efficient
technologies, process improvements, power generation from waste heat
recovery and enhanced co- processing of low grade primary fuels and
industry wastes. The
Task Force will assist in the provision of expert advice in relation to
the opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions levels
through the introduction of these existing and emerging technologies and
identify other key opportunities.
Objectives
-
Facilitate demonstration and deployment of
energy-efficient and cleaner product formulation technologies in Partnership countries that will
significantly improve the greenhouse gas emissions intensity and the air pollutant emissions
intensity of cement operations.
-
Develop sector relevant benchmark and
performance indicators.
-
Take advantage of opportunities to build
infrastructure in developing countries and emerging economies that uses energy efficient cement and concrete
building and paving materials.
