Adani Cement and Coolbrook Launch First Commercial RotoDynamic Heater for Cement Decarbonisation
- The RotoDynamic Heater will reduce carbon emissions by ~60,000 tonnes annually.
- Adani Cement aims for net-zero by 2050, with SBTi validation.
- The project will increase alternative fuel use to 30% and green power to 60% by FY28.
- Five additional projects are planned within the next two years.
Project Overview
Adani Cement and Coolbrook are deploying the first commercial RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) at the Boyareddypalli cement plant in India. This initiative aims to decarbonise cement production by using clean, electrified industrial heat powered entirely by renewable energy.
Emission Reduction
The RDH technology will target the calcination phase, the most fossil fuel-intensive stage of cement production. It is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 60,000 tonnes annually, with potential for a tenfold increase over time.
Renewable Energy Integration
The RDH system will be powered by Adani Cement's renewable energy portfolio, ensuring emission-free industrial heat. This positions Adani Cement to lead in clean manufacturing within the cement industry.
Future Plans
Adani Cement plans to increase alternative fuel usage to 30% and green power to 60% by FY28. The company and Coolbrook aim to launch at least five additional RDH projects within the next two years, enhancing process efficiency and sustainability goals.
