In the cement industry's quest for carbon neutrality, Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) stands out as a dual-purpose powerhouse: it diverts solid waste from landfills while substituting fossil fuels in energy-intensive kilns. For many operators, the burning question is simple: in a cement kiln, how much coal does 10 tons of RDF replace? Harden Machinery Ltd. breaks it down using key metrics—calorific value, thermal efficiency, and thermal substitution rate (TSR)—to show the real-world impact.

In Zhongshan, China, a leading cement company has launched a 100,000-ton RDF production line, turning mixed industrial waste into high-quality Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF). Partnering with Harden Machinery Ltd., this facility is driving the cement industry’s shift toward a circular economy and sustainable production.

As the world rallies to tackle climate change and champion green growth, the cement industry— notorious for its hefty energy use and emissions—stands at a crossroads of challenges and opportunities. Many cement giants are now embracing RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) as a game-changing alternative, but what is it, and how does it shine in cement production? Let’s uncover the answers!

In the push toward carbon neutrality and circular economy principles, Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) has become a cornerstone for the cement industry, turning solid waste into a high-calorific-value alternative to fossil fuels.

As the cement industry pivots toward sustainability, Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels.

Mountains of municipal solid waste (MSW) piling up, straining land resources and threatening the environment—what’s the solution? Harden Machinery Ltd. answered this challenge with a groundbreaking international collaboration, transforming urban waste into high-calorific-value Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) and setting a global benchmark for sustainable waste management.

High-quality Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) is produced from municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, and similar materials through processes like shredding, sorting, and drying.

In the era of advancing "dual carbon" goals and deepening environmental awareness, solid waste management has evolved beyond mere harmless disposal to embrace resource recovery and energy utilization.

In the global surge of environmental action, waste tires—lurking on city outskirts and wild lands—rise like unsightly black mounds, relentlessly claiming precious space. Under the blazing sun, they emit greasy odors; battered by storms, they stealthily release toxic gases and chemicals, fouling soil, water, and air, posing silent threats to ecosystems.
