Project summary

Cement Australia’s Railton Kiln Upgrade is described as an upgrade to the existing kiln to co-process Wood Waste-Based Fuel (WBF) and Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF). The article presents coal-use reduction as 35% in one passage and “up to 35%” in another. It reports a $106 million investment, $52.9 million in Australian Federal Government funding support, and partial funding through the Powering the Regions Fund. The article projects a reduction of 107,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and replacement of more than 110,000 tonnes of coal with alternative fuels. It invites local businesses to contact Cement Australia about becoming project partners; this does not establish tender details, package availability, or procurement timing.
