Cement Manufacturing

Transform emissions monitoring in one of the most carbon-intensive industries with unprecedented accuracy.

Unique Emissions Challenges

Process and Combustion Emissions

Cement production generates emissions from two distinct sources: process emissions from limestone decomposition (40-50% of total emissions) and combustion emissions from fuel burning (50-60% of total emissions). This dual nature makes monitoring particularly complex.

High-Temperature Operations

Kiln operations reach temperatures of 1,450°C, creating harsh conditions that can damage conventional emissions monitoring equipment. This requires specialized sensors that can withstand extreme temperatures.

Regulatory Pressure

The cement industry faces increasing pressure from carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes. Accurate, verifiable data is crucial for compliance and for accessing carbon credit markets.

Before Tandem vs After Tandem

Before Tandem

  • •Separate systems for process and combustion emissions
  • •Manual calculations for limestone contribution
  • •Challenging to verify data integrity
  • •High maintenance for sensors in harsh environment

After Tandem

  • •Integrated monitoring for both emission sources
  • •Automated limestone decomposition calculations
  • •Cryptographically secured data from all sources
  • •Hastelloy C-276 sensors for extreme durability

ROI Example

A typical 1.5 million tonne per year cement plant can generate approximately 1.2 million verified carbon credits annually with Tandem Carbon. At an average market price of $35 per credit, this represents a potential revenue stream of $42 million annually.

Sample Calculation:

  • • Plant capacity: 1.5 million tonnes cement/year
  • • CO2 intensity: 0.8 tCO2/tonne cement
  • • Total CO2 output: ~1.2 million tCO2/year
  • • Verification rate: 98% (after baseline adjustments)
  • • Credits generated: ~1.18 million credits/year
  • • Market price: $30-40/credit
  • • Annual revenue potential: $35.4M - $47.2M
