Biomass Clay Granulate
today the world's largest producer of bricks and No. 1 on the clay
roof tiles market in Europe, with 221 plants in 30 countries
EUR 2,355.5 mio revenues and
13,060 employees in 2012
Our project idea applies for:
SPIRE 2 – 2014: Adaptable industrial processes allowing
the use of renewables as flexible feedstock for chemical
energy applications

and
Project Idea Concept
How to bring biomass into a kiln for ceramic products?
Avoid contamination of bricks & tiles with ash?
Tailor made solid fuel: Biomass-Clay granulate
e.g.: 90% biomass + 10% clay
WWW.SPIRE2030.EU

Project Idea Concept
biomass-clay granulate is put into heating zone
biomass will reduce natural gas demand
clay will incorporate ash of biomass – no influence on product quality
clay-ash granulate is recycled for brick & tiles production – replacement
of raw material possible

Biomass-Clay Granulate
up to 30% less fossil energy demand
co-firing process with biomass for existing kilns
bolt on technology – use of existing infrastructure in ceramic
processes
involvement of local suppliers of biomass
(wood, renewables)
use of local clays to form biomass-clay granulate
reduced demand of primary feed stock
e.g. sand fillers could be replaced by recycled clay-ash granulate
