Enter Kiln Fuel Consumption

Kiln fuels are all fuels used in and for the clinker production process. This means those fuels fed to the kiln system plus fuels that are used for the drying or processing of raw materials for the production of clinker and the preparation of other kiln fuels.

Line101 to line123 are used to report those kiln fuels fed directly to the kiln or calciner of a kiln system (excluding drying of raw materials and fuels).

Whereas the fuels used for drying or processing of raw materials for the production of clinker and the preparation of other kiln fuels are reported separately (but also as kiln fuels) in line124 to line126a.

It is usual in cement plants that many types of fuels are used in kiln operations, e.g. coal, different types of fossil fuels, alternative fuels, biomass fuels, etc.

The consumption of each fuel type has to be determined at plant level in tonnes per year [t/yr]. Note that natural gas consumption should be reported in units of 1000 normal cubic meters per year [1000 Nm3/yr]. For example, if your consumption of natural gas in the kiln system was 27000 Nm3 in a certain year of reporting, enter the value of 27 in line106.

If you are using other kinds of fuels which are not covered by a certain category in a section, you are asked to report these fuel types in the lines which indicate "other" types of fuel. In addition to the amount of fuel consumption, the corresponding Fuel Parameters of the lower heating value (LHVClosed), the emission factor (EFClosed) for Mixed fuelsClosed and also the biogenic carbon content (Cbio/TC) should be determined.

For an overview of the fuel types used in the Plant sheet and their reporting parameters, please see Fuel Categories and Parameters for Reporting Fuel Energy Use and CO2 Emissions.

For the fuel "coal" for instance, input is needed in the following lines:

The kiln fuel consumption is summarised as energy use in terajoules per year [TJ/yr] in line025 to line028.

Further evaluations of energy use and CO2 emissions from fuels are provided in the KPI section.

Please also see the Protocol Guidance Document for further guidance on the reporting of fuel energy use and CO2 emissions (Chapters 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 5).
