Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF)

The Cement Industry contributed 8% of global CO2 emissions in 2015

As the planet moves towards a more sustainable way of living, solid recovered fuel is a preferred option for part-replacing fossil fuels in energy intensive cement kilns in the UK, Europe and worldwide.

Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) is derived from dry, non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste, produced in accordance with the requirements of the European standards, specifically EN15359. It can be produced in either floc or pellet form to a range of bespoke specifications to meet customer requirements.

Totus manages an extensive network of SRF producers and offtakers across the UK, Scandinavia, Greece, Mainland and Eastern Europe. With local expertise in Romania, Sweden and the UK, our broad European network can offer truly localised solutions. Our market knowledge of SRF producers worldwide and extensive logistics network, ensures access to supply of a consistent quality SRF for various specifications, bridging the gap between producers and end users.

After water, concrete is the most widely used substance on the planet

The cement industry must reduce its CO2 emissions by 43% compared to 2005 levels in order to achieve the overall greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 2030.

Opportunities to reduce carbon are limited, but the increase in use of high biomass content and low fossil carbon fuels can offset the expected increase in the cost of carbon trading.

In a competitive environment, Totus can provide tailor-made solutions to deliver SRF to kilns, maximising their Thermal Substitution Rate.

Production of cement has increased more than thirtyfold since 1950

Using waste that cannot be recycled as an energy source is one way to reduce the amount that is sent to landfill. Other benefits of SRF include:

  • Reduce reliance on finite fossil fuels
  • Diversifying the energy mix
  • Contributing to industry carbon reduction targets and lowering greenhouse gas emissions
  • Controlled chemical properties
  • Ability to create bespoke specification of fuel to meet specific plant requirements
  • Consistent supply available at a relatively stable price
