Characterizing energy feed for the lime industry

Recent technological advances, new consumer demands, and environmental consciousness lead many industries to better application of available global resources for environmental sustainability. There are many traditional global resources available to meet the growing energy demand but still the economy is tied to petroleum reserves which is currently the most globally consumed. The International Energy Agency affirm that for generating electrical power on a global basis, coal (38.4%) still represents the main feed followed by hydroelectric (18.4%), nuclear (17.7%), natural gas (14.8%), oil (9.3%), and wood/refuse/renewable, which still represent the last selection (1.4%). Many opportunities can be seized by focusing on the efficient use of resources that drive the entire lime market towards sustainability, therefore the use of innovative industrial technologies is ever more essential in industry.
