Summary
Germany has inaugurated the CI4C (Cement Innovation for Climate) Pure Oxyfuel plant in Mergelstetten, marking a major step toward decarbonizing cement production. thyssenkrupp Polysius and thyssenkrupp Calvion supported the project with the CI4C consortium (including Buzzi SpA), deploying pure oxyfuel technology aimed at significantly reducing cement-process CO2 emissions.

What do you think will have the biggest impact on cement’s net-zero pathway over the next decade: oxyfuel/CO2 capture systems, alternative fuels, or new low-clinker binders?

The CI4C (Cement Innovation for Climate) Pure Oxyfuel plant in Mergelstetten, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, has been officially inaugurated, marking a major milestone in the decarbonization of cement production. thyssenkrupp Polysius GmbH (Beckum, Germany), together with thyssenkrupp Calvion GmbH (Ennigerloh, Germany), contributed to this landmark project in close collaboration with the CI4C consortium — comprising Buzzi SpA […]

Pure oxyfuel should give a high-CO2 exhaust stream, but the oxygen supply is usually the bottleneck - are they running a cryogenic ASU on renewable power, and do they recover ASU/compression waste heat into raw meal drying? Also curious how burner tuning and refractory life have trended during ramp-up.
