Alternative fuels
Taking the lead in alternative fuels
Alternative fuel technology is becoming a more integrated part of cement plants. FLSmidth develops and supplies specific equipment and/or complete projects, giving cement and mineral producers the ability to use alternative fuel in pyroprocessing installations. Our service covers everything from consultancy to complete solutions.

Due to rising energy costs and ever stricter energy and environmental regulations, alternative fuel technology is becoming an important factor in controlling costs. To gain a competitive edge, many cement and mineral producers worldwide have set ambitious targets for increasing their future usage of alternative fuels – both waste-derived fuel and biomass.

FLSmidth Alternative Fuels is a technological leader in this field. Our goal is to be the preferred supplier of solutions that facilitate usage of alternative fuels in the cement and minerals industries. Our focus is on developing and supplying complete alternative fuel solutions that provide cement and mineral producers the ability to use up to 100% alternative fuel in pyroprocessing installations. This changes an alternative fuel into the primary fuel, without decreasing either production capacity or product quality.
Experience and know-how
FLSmidth Alternative Fuels has the expertise and flexibility to serve as a resource for new projects. There are no standard solutions for alternative fuel requirements, and it is often challenging to replace traditional fuel with waste fuel, as it may influence the process in the kiln and the clinker quality. FLSmidth Alternative Fuels can apply its experience and know-how to overcome such challenges and devise solutions that not only meet specific customer needs, but also provide a satisfactory return on investment.

FLSmidth Alternative Fuels provides consultancy, process knowledge, feasibility studies and technical solutions, such as: receiving, handling, sorting, sizing, storing, transporting, feeding and burning. We also develop appropriate customer-specific solutions in close cooperation with the global FLSmidth organization.
