Project Partners: 

Project Partners Tanga Cement Company 1 cement plant in Tanga region Production capacity 500,000 tonnes Workforce of 325 Part of the Holcim Group Biomass Energy Tanzania Ltd (BETL) Promoting alternative renewable energy e.g. Biomass briquetting, industrial fuels, bio-diesel Integrated waste / energy schemes Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects

Biomass = fuel source for cement kilns : 

Biomass = fuel source for cement kilns Tanga Cement seeking Alternative Fuels & Raw materials (AFR) BETL identified agricultural waste as biomass fuel Cashew nut waste an excellent source of biomass CASHEWS: High proportion of waste product Suitable crop for Tanga region Potential premium product for Tanzania
