Multi-Scenario Cost Comparison
Cement Industry
Interactive Plot for Multi-Scenario Cost Comparison of Cement Industry Decarbonisation Pathways
This interactive Pareto chart compares different decarbonisation configurations for cement production.
Each point represents a unique combination of base fuel technology and COâ‚‚ capture option, evaluated for cost, emissions, and energy consumption.
​
-
X-axis: Total production cost (€/t of clinker)
-
Y-axis: COâ‚‚ emissions (t COâ‚‚/t of clinker)
-
Color scale: Specific energy consumption (GJ/t of clinker) — from low (blue) to high (orange).
-
Shape: Represents the base fuel technology used in the kiln (e.g., Coal, Biomass, Hydrogen, etc.)
-
Pattern/Fill: Represents the COâ‚‚ capture type, such as:
-
Solid fill: No capture
-
Striped: MEA capture
-
Cross-hatched: Oxyfuel combustion
-
Dotted: Calcium looping (CaL)
-
Square pattern: Electrified MEA with heat pumps (CC_MEA_HPs)
-
