Abstract

The European “Horizon 2020” LEILAC and DESTINY projects are two examples of electrification in the cement industry.

LEILAC shows how resistance heating can be applied as a substitution of an existing gas-supplied process.

The use of microwave heating in the DESTINY project illustrates the downscaling of the production paradigm towards small on-site-of-demand cement production, allowing a further reduction in CO₂ emission.
