The Benefits of Energy Recovery: Economic, Environmental and Social Benefits in Recovering Energy from Waste in the Manufacture of Cement

摘要

The Nation gains substantial energy, environmental, health and economic benefits when cement kilns recycle hazardous wasters by recovering their energy value through use as fuel. These benefits include: energy conservation, amounting to more than 20 billion Btu/year, more than twice the amount EPA saves through its Green Lights program; reduced SOx and NOx emissions that would have resulted from burning coal instead of HWDF, avoiding property damages of
