Clean Development Mechanism

Cement Industry is highly energy intensive and leads to generation of CO2 during clinkerisation process due to calcination of limestone and combustion of  fossil  fuel inside the Kiln.  CO2 is a Green House Gas (GHG) which leads to depletion of ozone layer above earth's atomosphere causing health  hazard for all living beings.  Maihar Cement is actively engaged in reduction of GHG emissions and has undertaken CDM projects. The project activities consist of an increase in % addition of flyash in Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) as well as an increase in the proportion of PPC in the over all product mix.  This leads to reduction in usage of clinker in cement production  which in turn contributes to reduction in GHG emissions.

At Maihar Cement, proportion of Blended Cement has been gradually enhanced over the last few years and today total cement production comprises of Blended Cement only. The project activity contributes to sustainable development at Regional, National and Global levels in the following ways.
Reduced usage of clinker in cement manufacture also means reduction in mining / extraction of limestone and its associated fugitive dust emission, loss of bio-diversity etc.Therefore the CDM project related activity has excellent environmental benefits in terms of reduction of carbon emissions, conservation of natural resources like limestone and coal, decreased environmental degradation and enhanced waste utilisation.


Energy Conservation

All out efforts are made at every level to achieve the highest level of efficiency in managing and conserving energy resources.  This includes involvement of both financial and human resources coupled with technological upgradation.Following measures have been taken at Maihar Cement for conservation of electrical and thermal energy:
