Toward electrochemical synthesis of cement—An electrolyzer ...
· The to MJ/kg cement estimated for the electrochemical process does exceed the energy required for the conventional cement process in the average US kiln, which is MJ/kg . At a coal price of 61 per ton (for bituminous coal) ( 71 ), the energy cost for the conventional process is ∼28 per ton of cement, which is 25% of the average US cement selling price of 113 per metric ton .
