Fuel consumption is key topic in Cement Industries, given the numerous issues involve,including cost,availability of raw materials and environment concerns.Looking after the result of the 2015 United Nation Climate Conference (COP21) in Paris,which conclude new goals in connection with stopping global warming.Cement producers and other Industrial producers will not be able to go the Easy Way Now.They will have to find out alternative fuels,process optimization including energy reduction in clinker and cement production,re use of the heat,increase in cementitious materials to substitute clinker in Cement.

After taking the cue from Above, India has potential to wipe out 90% of the entire CO2 footprint being generated by Cement Industries of the Entire Globe and the material for the same is FLY ASH. India produces more then 300 mtpa of Fly Ash every year and this may go to 450 mtpa by next 8-10 years. Coal based power plants are going to stay for another 50 years in India,not like Europe where ,the ban on new thermal power plants are already exists and the existing one has to close down. So what shall be the Morale of this story?-India can full fill the requirement of entire world. Mega companies like Lafarge other five companies already tender their will to quit from Cement Business.
