Cement Plants

Green Energy Generation at Cement Plants Ormat REG solutions complement cement plant operations and generate cost-effective electricity from unused waste heat. Even in optimized cement plants, some heat is lost, either from exhaust gases, clinker coolers or both. Ormat REG solutions capture the residual heat and use it to generate clean, efficient electricity with no additional fuel.

The ORMAT® ENERGY CONVERTER (OEC), a field-proven power generation unit that converts heat into electrical energy, is custom designed to optimally leverage the specific conditions of a specific heat source. Since the power produced from the waste heat of the cement production process is dependent on heat stream and site conditions, this capability is critical.
