Concrete is the most commonly used construction material in the world today, hence cement production is very common. Road bases are made of cement and dirt mixtures.
Burning “cement rock,” a naturally occurring chemical, produced a compound identical to that in the US. These substances fall under the category of “natural cement,” which is similar to cement but less thoroughly burned and not composed under strict control.
The Croatia Cement market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Cement manufacturing is one of the most energy-intensive and difficult to decarbonize industries, although such facilities can already play a significant part in the energy transition.
Resource efficiency solutions are something that Holcim’s plant in Komorano, on Croatia’s Istria peninsula, has long been focusing on. It began utilising ash and gypsum from the nearby Plomin coal-powered plant in its operations more than 20 years ago.
According to Holcim, the unit just became the first in the nation to join KOER’s virtual power plant, enabling larger investments in renewable energy. Operators of these types of cloud-based systems, often known as aggregators, combine existing electricity sources so they can enhance output collectively in times of transmission system power shortages.
In addition, virtual power plants can support a change in consumption patterns, such as in industries and retail centres, or a rise in electricity production, typically when an unanticipated burst of wind or sunshine increases the amount of renewable energy in the system.
Aggregators are more necessary as the decentralisation of the Croatian electric power grid accelerates. Additionally, they have control over the storage that is available, particularly batteries. In a virtual power plant, participants are paid for the auxiliary services they provide to maintain the equilibrium between supply and demand for electricity.
