London coal gas production began in 1813 and by 1842 was producing 300,000 tons of coke a year, so coke was also readily available, and, being essentially a waste product, was cheaper than coal. Early cement plants used coal for drying slurry and for power generation, and coke for kiln burning. Per tonne of clinker produced, consumption was ...

Coal is still used in approximately 90% of cement plants globally to deliver the energy needed for the heat inside the kiln. Online coal analyzers using PGNAA technology are used to control the coal blend to a specific GCV in addition to the ash value of the coal as this adds raw materials to the process as well.

Cement acts as the binder between aggregates (fine and coarse rocks) in the formation of concrete. While cement makes up only a small percentage of the mix (approximately 12 percent by volume), it is almost exclusively responsible for the resulting CO 2 emissions. In the cement-manufacturing process, raw materials are heated to …

In recent cases like the September 29 boiler explosion in India, a direct coal-fired system was likely being used to generate power for the plant. While this is not standard practice in cement production, cement plants in countries like India are often located far away from energy sources, so they rely on their own sources.
