Limak Cement and Air Liquide have conducted successful trials with the first hydrogen-blended fuel supply at the Limak Cement plant in Ankara, Turkey. This innovative initiative aims to lead the Turkish cement industry towards decarbonisation goals. By injecting hydrogen in the preheating tower, a 50% thermal substitution rate from alternative fuels was achieved, marking a milestone in the industry. The application, which reduces CO2 emissions by 180,000tpa upfront compared to coal usage, showcases the potential for sustainable practices. Limak Cement plans to implement high biogenic content alternative fuels and renewable energy usage by 2030, with a focus on developing hydrogen applications in partnership with Air Liquide. The company's CEO highlighted the importance of safe and effective hydrogen technology utilization and increasing alternative fuel substitution rates. The project not only benefits the environment but also contributes to the growth of the hydrogen ecosystem in Turkey. Air Liquide emphasized the necessity of partnerships in decarbonisation efforts and the pivotal role of hydrogen in energy and industry transformation. This collaborative approach sets a positive precedent for the adoption of low-carbon fuel mixes in the cement sector, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
