Utilization of alternative fuels in substitute fuel, cement and coal-fired power plants in Germany

High costs for fossil fuels and climate protection cause a higher importance of coincineration of alternative fuels in cement plants and coal-fired power plants. As alternative fuels various waste based materials are used, for example used wood, waste oil or (treated) industrial, trade and municipal wastes. The use is limited especially due to plant technology and legal emission standards. These aspects have a high influence on the markets for co-incineration in coal-fired power plants and cement plants. The following article will provide an overview of the status quo of the mentioned markets and ist developments until 2020.

High costs for fossil fuels and climate protection (e.g. emissions certificates) cause ahigher importance of co-incineration of alternative fuels in cement plants and coal-fired power plants. Despite playing - compared to mono-incineration of wastes - a quantitativelesser role, the share of fuel use in cement plants already amounts to over 60%,with a small upward trend. Because of technical requirements this share is much smaller in coal-fired power plants. As alternative fuels in cement plants and coal-fired
power plants various waste based materials are used, for example used wood, scrap tyres, waste oil, sewage sludge or (treated) industrial, trade and municipal wastes. Theuse is limited especially due to plant technology and legal emission standards, which the characteristics of the co-incinerated materials need to be consistent with. The present article is primarily based on the results of the study 'The market for coincineration of alternative fuels in cement plants and coal-fired power plants in Europe until 2020' published in 2013. Besides an overview of the current status quo concerning volume of waste, processing and use of alternative fuels in German cement plants and coal-fired power plants, a prognosis of the expected market trends until 2020 will be shown. In the scope of the potential study comprehensive research with intern and extern studies, data bases, press articles, internet and the like as well as about 60 expert interviews in the 12 researched countries (Germany, Estonia, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Czech Republic, Turkey, Ukraine, Hungary, United Kingdom) were carried out. The potentials of each market were calculated based on scenario and country specific assumptions, which led to differentiated results for each country. The future trends of the used quantity of substitute fuels and its prices in the cement plants and coal-fired power plants are shown in three scenarios. The reference Scenario shows the most likely market trends, the other ones in contrast a more conservative or a more dynamic trend. Here after are shown the essential results for the German market.

Maßnahmen der Staaten, die dem Klimaschutz unzureichend gerecht geworden sein sollen, sind in der Vergangenheit in Verfahren vor Menschenrechtsorganen der UN geltend gemacht worden.1 Mit der Initiative des Inselstaates Vanuatu vom6.12.2022wird erstmals der Versuch gemacht, den Schutz der Menschenrechte im Klimawandel mit Hilfe des IGH weltweit voranzubringen.
