Cement production Sample Clauses

Cement production. The cement sector accounts for approximately 3% of total GHG emissions in the EU in 2016 (EUTL, Table 1). Unlike with many other industrial sectors, GHG emissions in the cement sectors arise to a significant degree from process chemistry – which accounts for 64% of (Portland) cement production, and a minority from fuel combustion (Hills et al, 11 xxxxx://xx.xxxxxx.xx/clima/sites/clima/files/ets/allowances/docs/bm_study-refineries_en.pdf 2015). GHG emission reductions in the cement sector so far have been incremental and driven by energy efficiency and clinker substitution. With economically viable technologies, the cement sector can achieve about 50% reduction in emissions. Innovation focus should therefore be on the other 50%. On a long-time horizon towards 2050, the cement sector estimates its abatement need to be 136MtCO2 reduction based on the 2050 target at 34MtCO2, 80% reduction from the 1990 level at 170MtCO2 (CEMBUREAU, 2013). The cement sector roadmap identifies five routes to emissions reductions: - Resource efficiency - Energy efficiency - Carbon capture and reuse or storage (CCUS) - Product efficiency - Downstream The latter two, while beneficial on shorter time-scales are outside the scope of this report. The cement sector roadmap also estimates the potential of CO2 savings per technology (CEMBUREAU, 2013:11): - Kiln efficiency and fuel mix12 -34MtCO2; - Clinker substitution and novel cements -11MtCO2; - Transport efficiency -2MtCO2; - Decarbonisation power -10MtCO2; - Breakthrough technologies, such as CC(US) -79MtCO2 According to CEMBUREAU (2013), a reduction of 79 MtCO2 still requires breakthrough technologies to address. CCS is frequently mentioned as such a technology. Innovation support should focus on this, or novel technologies such as the novel cements described below, as CCS is eventually not a sustainable option and is limited in areas without geological storage capacity. While current cement production is focused on Portland cement, there have also been attempts at substituting Portland clinker with new, low-carbon clinker types; some of which have yet to be developed. Examples include geopolymers and alkali-activated binders, which allows for emissions reductions of 90% in the full production process but is currently constrained by the production of sodium silicate, and magnesium-based cements, which could be wholly carbon free but which are still in an early research phase (Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2018). While there has been some R&D in...

Related to Cement production

  • Production Lessee shall, subject to applicable laws, regulations and orders, operate and produce all xxxxx upon the leased land so long as the same are capable of producing in paying quantities, and shall operate the same so as to produce at a rate commensurate with the rate of production of xxxxx on adjoining lands within the same field and within the limits of good engineering practice, except for such times as there exist neither market nor storage therefore, and except for such limitations on, or suspensions of, production as may be approved in writing by Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for adequate site security on all producing properties.

  • FABRICATION Making up data or results and recording or reporting them.

  • Manufacturing (a) The Supplier shall without limitation be responsible, at no additional cost to the Purchaser, for: sourcing and procuring all raw materials for the Products; obtaining all necessary approvals, permits and licenses for the manufacturing of the Products; providing sufficient qualified staff and workers to perform the obligations under this Purchase Agreement; implementing and maintaining effective inventory and production control procedures with respect to the Products; and handling other matters as reasonably requested by the Purchaser from time to time.

  • Product ACCEPTANCE Unless otherwise provided by mutual agreement of the Authorized User and the Contractor, Authorized User(s) shall have thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to accept hardware products and sixty (60) days from the date of delivery to accept all other Product. Where the Contractor is responsible for installation, acceptance shall be from completion of installation. Failure to provide notice of acceptance or rejection or a deficiency statement to the Contractor by the end of the period provided for under this clause constitutes acceptance by the Authorized User(s) as of the expiration of that period. The License Term shall be extended by the time periods allowed for trial use, testing and acceptance unless the Commissioner or Authorized User agrees to accept the Product at completion of trial use. Unless otherwise provided by mutual agreement of the Authorized User and the Contractor, Authorized User shall have the option to run testing on the Product prior to acceptance, such tests and data sets to be specified by User. Where using its own data or tests, Authorized User must have the tests or representative set of data available upon delivery. This demonstration will take the form of a documented installation test, capable of observation by the Authorized User, and shall be made part of the Contractor’s standard documentation. The test data shall remain accessible to the Authorized User after completion of the test. In the event that the documented installation test cannot be completed successfully within the specified acceptance period, and the Contractor or Product is responsible for the delay, Authorized User shall have the option to cancel the order in whole or in part, or to extend the testing period for an additional thirty (30) day increment. Authorized User shall notify Contractor of acceptance upon successful completion of the documented installation test. Such cancellation shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Authorized User for damages, loss of profits, expenses, or other remuneration of any kind. If the Authorized User elects to provide a deficiency statement specifying how the Product fails to meet the specifications within the testing period, Contractor shall have thirty (30) days to correct the deficiency, and the Authorized User shall have an additional sixty (60) days to evaluate the Product as provided herein. If the Product does not meet the specifications at the end of the extended testing period, Authorized User, upon prior written notice to Contractor, may then reject the Product and return all defective Product to Contractor, and Contractor shall refund any monies paid by the Authorized User to Contractor therefor. Costs and liabilities associated with a failure of the Product to perform in accordance with the functionality tests or product specifications during the acceptance period shall be borne fully by Contractor to the extent that said costs or liabilities shall not have been caused by negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Authorized User’s agents or employees. Said costs shall be limited to the amounts set forth in the Limitation of Liability Clause for any liability for costs incurred at the direction or recommendation of Contractor.

  • RE-WEIGHING PRODUCT Deliveries are subject to re- weighing at the point of destination by the Authorized User. If shrinkage occurs which exceeds that normally allowable in the trade, the Authorized User shall have the option to require delivery of the difference in quantity or to reduce the payment accordingly. Such option shall be exercised in writing by the Authorized User.

  • Biological Samples If so specified in the Protocol, Institution and Principal Investigator may collect and provide to Sponsor or its designee Biological Samples (“Biological Samples”). 12.2.

  • Plant The expression ‘Plant’ as used in the tender papers shall mean every temporary accessory necessary or considered necessary by the Engineer to execute, construct, complete and maintain the work and all altered, modified, substituted and additional works ordered in the time and the manner herein provided and all temporary materials and special and other articles and appliance of every sort kind and description whatsoever intended or used therefore.

  • Licensed Products Lessee will obtain no title to Licensed Products which will at all times remain the property of the owner of the Licensed Products. A license from the owner may be required and it is Lessee's responsibility to obtain any required license before the use of the Licensed Products.
