Project Highlights

Utilizing low-grade carbon-containing waste heat (50°C+) from cement production lines has resulted in an annual reduction of approximately 3,130 tons of standard coal.

Utilizes the low-grade waste heat from cement production (50°C+) combined with large-scale energy storage, significantly reducing carbon emissions. Couple CO₂ captured from Conch Cement’s CCUS line for comprehensive carbon capture, utilization, and storage
