Request publicationThe ANICA project (Advanced Indirectly Heated Carbonate Looping Process) investigated the development of a novel, indirectly heated carbonate looping process to reduce energy consumption and costs for CO₂ capture from lime and cement plants.
Research report (in German) on IGF project 21582 N, in which process chains for chemical CO₂ utilisation for the emission reduction in the cement industry were to be investigated.
The 9th International VDZ Congress is just around the corner: From 6 to 8 November 2024 - for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic - the VDZ Congress will provide a forum for global exchange in the cement industry. The focus in 2024 will be on key topics in cement process technology and the decarbonisation of the entire cement and concrete value chain. In the following interview, Dr Martin Schneider, Chief Executive of VDZ, explains what the biggest challenges and bright spots in the industry are at the moment, what contribution VDZ‘s CO₂ Roadmap will make to climate neutrality in the industry, and what key topics participants can look forward to at the 9th International VDZ Congress.
The capture of CO₂ and its subsequent use and storage are key elements of the cement industry's decarbonisation strategy. The separation of CO₂ from waste gas is an energy-intensive and complex process. This process can be made simpler and more efficient by achieving the highest possible CO₂ concentration in the flue gas. If the calcination of the raw meal is separated from the actual clinker burning process, this considerably facilitates the concentration of CO₂ in the flue gas and reduces the "contamination" of the CO₂ with (false) air.
VDZ's Education and Training Programme 2024/25 ranges from teaching technical basics and technical expertise to further training for managers. We offer individual, tailor-made seminars on the topics of clinker and cement production, maintenance, quality assurance, environmental protection, and concrete technology. In this new brochure you will find two new seminar topics reflecting current developments in the cement and concrete industry.
In der Studie wird neben einschlägiger Fachliteratur auch unveröffentlichtes Material erstmals systematisch ausgewertet. Insgesamt wird auf rund 600 Literaturstellen Bezug genommen. Eine zusammenfassende naturschutzfachliche Bewertung zeigt, dass nicht nur ehemalige, sondern auch betriebene Abbaustätten zum Artenschutz beitragen. Das Vorkommen seltener bzw. gefährdeter Tier- und Pflanzenarten ist vor allem auf die Strukturvielfalt und die Refugialfunktion der Abbauareale zurückzuführen.
In der Broschüre werden Empfehlungen zur Optimierung des Naturschutzmanagements in Abbaustätten zusammengefasst. Dabei wird zwischen Maßnahmen nach Abschluss der Rohstoffgewinnung und während der Betriebsphase unterschieden. Neben Renaturierungsverfahren gehen die Verfasser auf "Wanderbiotope" und die Zusammenarbeit mit Naturschützern ein. Die Broschüre ist ein Beitrag der deutschen Zementindustrie zur Aktion "biologischevielfalt.de".

Die Umfrage bezieht sich auf alle integrierten Zementwerke in Deutschland. Die Auswertung zeigt u. a., dass auf rund 54 % der ehemaligen Abbauflächen die Folgenutzung "Naturschutz" umgesetzt wird. Demgegenüber dominiert bei der Vornutzung der Ackerbau, d. h. eine intensive Form der Landwirtschaft. Neben weiteren Daten zum Verhältnis von Rohstoffgewinnung und Naturschutz enthält die Broschüre auch Angaben zu Abbaumengen, zum Flächenbedarf und zur räumlichen Verteilung der Abbaustätten.
In Germany, the costs of supporting renewable energies are spread out by means of reallocation to the power consumer in accordance with the renewable energies act (EEG). Firms with high electricity consumption can be partly relieved of this if they fulfil the strict quantitative and qualitative requirements of the EEG‘s special equalisation scheme. The aim of the scheme is to protect companies that use a lot of power due to the nature of their processes from losing their competitiveness vis-à-vis competing locations in other countries inside and outside of Europe. Recently there has been much heated discussion on the amount and distribution of costs under the EEG. Alongside the promotion of renewable energies, the relief of power-intensive firms has been subject to criticism. The present study by EEFA-Forschungsinstitut GmbH & Co. KG, Münster empirically investigates the international competition situation of the German cement industry in this context. The focus of the analysis is on the intensity of power costs for cement manufacture, the exposure of cement companies to international competition – both inside and outside of Europe – and the significance of EEG relief for the preservation of cement production and employment in Germany. The latter is evaluated in view of the expected effects of a potential increase in power costs on the sector and the German economy as a whole.

Ziel des IGF-Projekts war die Erfassung der Zuverlässigkeit eines repräsentativen Bauwerksbestandes, geplant und erbaut auf Grundlage der DIN 1045:2001. Hierfür sollte ein repräsentativer Bauwerksbestand ausgewählt werden, der Einwirkungen der Expositionsklassen Karbonatisierung (XC4), Chlorideinwirkung (XD3) und Frosteinwirkung (XF3 und XF4) ausgesetzt ist.
The thesis developed a "Performance-based concept for sufficient ASR resistance of concrete" to more effectively prevent damage to concrete structures due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR). This is based on a new method for testing and evaluating the effective alkali content, especially of clinker-efficient cements with several main constitutens, and on the results of the long-term behaviour of concrete cubes in outdoor exposure site tests.
The aim of the AiF research project was to identify the causes of the sometimes greater scatter rates in the analysis results in the case of comparison trials for the long-term tank test.
Interactions between different structured or modified methyl hydroxyethyl celluloses and cements blended with limestone, blastfurnace slag or fly ash were determined.
The aim of the project was to investigate the suitability of the Ono method for evaluation of burning conditions even on clinker burnt with alternative fuels. Furthermore the focus of the project was the development of a methodology for correlations between microscopically and mineralogically analysed clinker properties and burning conditions.
The aim of the research project was to investigate the suitability or usefulness of dolomitic carbonate rocks as a main cement constituent and to define requirements for dolomitic carbonate rocks as required for the production of high-performance dolomitic cements and concretes of high durability.
