Abstract

Today there is a growing research activity in order to investigate the possibility of using various waste or alternative materials in the cement and other industries. In this paper the possibility of using wood paulownia (lat. Paulownia elongata) as a completely new type of alternative fuel has been analyzed. Its applicability in cement industry in order to reduce the use of fossil fuels with higher sulphur content as well as the reduction of SO2 and CO2 emission has been discussed. Data obtained by instrumental analysis and developed software tools for real cement plant indicate that the application of this type of fuel significantly reduces emissions of SO2. Taking into account that the planting of these types of wood per hectare in the process of photosynthesis "absorbed" 48,000 kg of CO2 in one year, the study takes on even greater ecological significance.
