BACKGROUND

The Greening Cement partnership aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the Vietnamese cement industry by using municipal and industrial waste as an alternative fuel for cement production in place of coal. This allows us to solve the waste management problem in the country reduce the production costs for the cement industry. The partnership also aims to create a successful replicable business model for both the local cement and waste management industry, with the intention of replicating the business model in other leading cement industries across the globe.

Developmental Impacts:

1. Reliable waste supply chain, as alternative fuel source, to the local cement industry

2. Mutually beneficial business model between waste supply chain actors and the cement industry

3. A successful case study about use of AFR (Alternative Fuels & Raw Materials) technology

4. Enable a sustainable cement and tourism industry by promoting municipal and industrial waste as an alternative fuel for cement production

OBJECTIVE

SHORT-TERM

Establish a reliable municipal & industrial waste supply chain to the VICEM Ha Long cement plant by addressing the legal barriers, leading to investment into HOTDISC technology which could treat all type of waste.


MEDIUM TERM

Successful operation of VICEM cement plant using 100% waste in the cement production process, leading to zero land-fill in Ha Long and successful replication of business model in many cement plants in Vietnam.


LONG TERM

Zero landfill in the major cities of countries leading in cement production.

IMPLEMENTATION

The key implementation activities within the scope of P4G support will set-up the waste ecosystem for the VICEM plant in Ha Long and also for other provinces which has most of cement plants so that we can easily replicate the technology investments in other cement factories. The main activities within the scope of P4G support includes:

1) Establishment of mutually beneficial business model for the cement industry and waste management actors.

2) The establishment of waste supply chain to VICEM Ha Long (license, permit, environmental studies).

3) The design and engineering of waste handling facility, waste flow to the cement process.
