Abstract
China’s annual cement production (i.e., 1,868 Mt) in 2010 accounted for nearly half of the world’s annual cement production in the same year. We analyzed 23 energy efficiency technologies and measures applicable to the processes in the cement industry. Using a bottom-up electricity conservation supply curve model, the cumulative cost-effective electricity savings potential for the Chinese cement industry for 2010-2030 is estimated to be 410 TWh, and the total technical electricity saving potential is 468 TWh. The fuel conservation supply curve model for the cement industry shows cumulative cost-effective fuel savings potential of 6,248 PJ-equivalent to the total technical potential.
