Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)

Refuse-derived fuel has been progressively recognized as an alternative renewable energy source. In fact, production of refuse-derived fuel from waste increases the diversion from landfills. The production of refuse-derived fuel is expected to impart with revolutionized role in the renewable energy sector in Egypt.

ECWM produces refuse-derived fuel, which is commonly used as fuel substitute (primarily coal) in cement industry to reduce CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, vigorous efforts have been invested on researching innovative technologies and improving the existing technologies to produce better fuel quality. In general, we focus on “multi-stage” processing technique to produce high quality refuse-derived fuel that meets the requirements of the cement industry.
