As climate change and natural disasters become more severe, the circular economy, with its requirement for eco-friendly measures, has become a hot topic of conversation. To solve the many problems that urbanisation brings, when establishing a new plant the Company takes into consideration circular economy models. Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC) plan comprehensive approaches that include ports, the plant, and electricity, in order to achieve the most efficient use of available Resources.
At Ho-Ping Plant, the raw materials required for making cement, including fuel, iron slag, plasters, and slag, are shipped in via Ho-Ping Port, and finished cement products are shipped from Ho-Ping to cement receiving stations at major ports in western Taiwan, saving transportation expenses and lowering environmental impact. Waste produced from power generation can be divided into fly ash and bottom ash, both of which are coal ash substances.
TCC use 100% of the coal ash from Ho-Ping Power Plant as a raw material for the Ho-Ping Cement Plant, showing the extent to which not only prevent marine pollution but also make waste reuse a reality. When mining, TCC use the most advanced hilltop platform phase-based vertical shaft transport method, reducing 63,000 tons of CO2 and the damage to surface plants and trees, further protecting the environment.
TCC is committed to creating a unique product called circular economy value chain, which can demonstrate a new possibility to balance the complex relationships between humans and nature.
Highlights
Ho-Ping coal-fired power plant uses the world’s only coal ash circular system, 100% of the coal ash from Ho-Ping Power Plant will be used as a raw material for the Ho-Ping Cement Plant, preventing marine pollution but also make waste reuse a reality.
Ho-Ping Cement Plant uses hilltop platform phase-based vertical shaft transport method, this minimizes our impact on the land topography, protecting the scenery and reducing environmental impact. Most of the work happens underground and is automatic and safe. We significantly reduce damage to surface plants and trees, further protecting the environment.
TCC is the first cement company to achieve BS 8001 Circular Economy certification, we take waste from the optoelectronics, semiconductor, papermaking, water purification, chemical engineering, and steelmaking industries to use as alternative raw materials, creating the road to a circular economy.
