Industrial international data base: the cement industry
This report presents the results of a study of energy consumption in the manufacture of portland cement in the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States; it is one of several energy-related projects initiated under the auspices of the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS). Detailed research and development projects were developed following analysis of the basic data. The comparative energy-consumption data assembled during this study are presented in a series of exhibits in Appendix C to this report. Data on industry structure, market structure, cement production (by quantity and by type of cement), energy-resource consumption, kiln specific energy consumption, cement specifications, and key environmental standards are reported. A range of kiln fuel consumption from 820 to 1490 kcal/kg of cement was found for the participating nations, with the Federal Republic of Germany lowest and the United States highest. The cement study described in this report forms part of the Industrial International Data Base Project, itself a subproject of the NATO/CCMS Rational Use of Energy Program. Other industries being studied are steel and selected plastics and there is also a separate study group reviewing all aspects of energy-accounting methodology. The major objectives of the Data Base Project are to collect data on industrial energy consumption for specific industries in different countries, to identify andanalyze significant differences in energy consumption, to document technology-transfer ideas, and to develop recommendations for research and development of energy-efficient technology in major industrial sectors.
