Adani Cement and Coolbrook to Deploy World's First Commercial RotoDynamic Heater for Cement Decarbonisation
Adani Cement and Coolbrook have announced a delivery agreement for the world's first commercial deployment of Coolbrook's RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) technology at Adani Cement's Boyareddypalli Integrated Cement Plant in Andhra Pradesh, India. This marks the first industrial-scale deployment of Coolbrook's RDH™ technology, aiming to advance Adani Cement's net-zero goals achievement by 2050 and Coolbrook’s goal of cutting 2.4 billion tonnes of annual CO2 across heavy industry sectors globally. This technology will decarbonise the calcination phase - the most fossil fuel-intensive stage of cement production. The RDH™ system will be powered entirely by Adani Cement's large-scale renewable energy portfolio, ensuring that the industrial heat generated is completely emission free. This deployment is expected to directly reduce ~60,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually with a potential to increase 10x in due course, marking a major step toward decarbonising cement manufacturing.
Key Highlights
- Adani Cement's Boyareddypalli plant in Andhra Pradesh will be the first cement plant globally to commercially deploy Coolbrook’'s RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) technology in the industrial space.
- The RDH™ system will be powered entirely by Adani Cement’s large-scale renewable energy portfolio, ensuring that the industrial heat generated is completely carbon emission free.
- This commercial deployment is expected to directly reduce ~60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually with a potential to increase 10x in due course.
- The RDH™ technology enables a significantly higher substitution of fossil fuels with sustainable alternatives.
- This deployment demonstrates the real-world feasibility of clean, electrified industrial heat powered entirely by renewables.
