CEMENT MAKERS EXPLORE NEW FUELS TO REPLACE COAL - ECONOMIC TIMES
 Economic Times reported that, As the cement industry reels under high raw material costs and reduced coal linkages, companies are exploring alternative options such as rubber tyres and rice husk as substitutes for fuel.
Companies such as Grasim Industries, ACC, Shiva Cement have started using alternative fuels in their plants while other cement firms are exploring similar techniques to deal with the fuel shortage.
“As coal prices are rising, there is no other option but to use alternative fuels like rubber tyres, saw dust and sewage as alternatives, though the percentage is small currently,” said Shree Cement managing director Hari Mohan Bangur. Other companies such as JK Cement, too, have plans to use alternatives such as city waste, rubber tyres and saw dust for the production of cement.
Cement firms recently wrote to the coal ministry seeking additional supplies from Singareni Collieries Company, one of the largest suppliers to cement plants in the southern states.
RP Gupta, CMD, Shiva Cement said, “We have recently started using char (by product of iron steel) as an alternative for coal. As cost saving is concerned, one needs to see things in the long term. Initially, it’s around 3% of total raw material cost but it will increase to 5-10% in the next few years.”
The Indian cement industry is likely to face a coal crunch in the short-to-medium term, say analysts. “Companies will have to take the tough measure as importing coal is a costly proposition,” said Rupesh Sankhe, analyst at Angel Securities.
There is a gap between the demand and supply of coal and the companies have to create alternative arrangements, say industry experts. Even, coal supplies may see a slight drop in August due to rains. According to the Cement Manufacturers Association, about 17.2 million tonne were produced and 17.3 million tonne were despatched in June against 16.6 mt and 16.7 mt, respectively, in June 2009.
India has more than 70 cement companies and a total installed capacity of 260 million tonne. Cement manufacturers will add 110 million tonne to their current production capacities at an investment of about Rs 50,000 crore over the next three years.
The Indian cement industry is growing at 9-11% for the past few years with a capacity of 260 million tonne while China, the world’s largest market, is growing at 14%. The global market is expected to grow at 5% and the Brazil market at 4%.
