Evolving towards a sustainable world: how wheat husks and other biomasses help decarbonization

Today, August 1, is Earth Overshoot Day. This date marks the moment when humanity’s demand on natural resources exceeds the planet’s capacity to regenerate them during that year. In other words, we are using more than Earth can produce or renew.  

One of the ways to prevent this overload is through decarbonization, which involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Co-processing technology is a way to combine decarbonization with waste management and ensure that we continue Evolving towards a sustainable world!  

Our cement kilns use alternative fuels instead of petroleum coke, reducing carbon emissions. Among these fuels are biomasses. To see how this works in practice, watch the video below, which shows how we use wheat husks and other by-products from agricultural production to reduce our CO2 emissions.
