CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONEwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 3 | 2025Economic profitability for sustainable investmentsThe investment costs for pyrolysis plants, modern curing chambers and battery storage can be high. To ensure economic viability, it is important to look at the total costs over the life cycle of the assets and to consider the potential savings through energy efficiency, material reduction, CO2savings and optimized power purchase contracts. Economic models and support programs can improve the profitability of these investments.Regulatory framework for safe applicationThe use of pyrolysis products and biochar in the concrete industry is subject to regulatory frameworks that must be observed. It is important to comply with the relevant standards and approvals to ensure safe and environmentally sound application of the technologies. Compliance with regulatory frameworks is a necessary prerequisite for the successful implementation of these technologies.Long-term experience for more safetyWhile the basic technologies are known, there is a lack of comprehensive long-term data on their interaction in industrial concrete plants. The first projects, which will be put into operation in the coming months, will provide valuable insights for the future application of these technologies. Gaining long-term experience is an important step in strengthening confidence in these technologies and establishing their broad application in the industry.Conclusion and outlookThe technologies presented offer promising and established opportunities for the concrete industry to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint, increase efficiency and produce more sustainable concrete products. The combination of modern curing technology, pyrolysis, biochar and battery storage enables a holistic view of concrete production that takes into account both ecological and economic aspects.The concrete industry is on its way to a more sustainable future. The consistent implementation and further development of these technologies can make a significant contribution to climate protection. Gaining long-term experience and overcoming the remaining challenges are crucial to realize the full potential of these technologies and establish widespread application in the industry. nFURTHER INFORMATIONS%u00f6nke TunnBreitgasse 5, 69493 Hirschberg, GermanyM +49 176 43215881soenke@tunn.eu, www.tunn.eu
