Alternative fuel and transition to peat: the effect is obvious

Branch No. 1 "Cement Plant" of OAO Krasnoselsk stroymaterialy was the first of the three cement plants of the holding company Belarusian Cement Company to start using alternative fuel from solid domestic waste (refuse-derived fuel, RDF) instead of imported natural gas and coal. A special process line for the use of such fuel was built and put into operation in 2022. The transition from natural gas to peat in the preparation of raw meal also provides significant savings for the enterprise.
