Uganda has outlined a comprehensive plan to completely decarbonise manufacturing sector. It now requires cement manufacturers to substitute bioenergy for fossil fuels in all manufacturing processes.

This is a component of the nation’s energy transition plan, which was made public by the government last week. By 2050, the goal is to increase the percentage of bioenergy used in cement production from the current 50 percent to 70 percent.

Bioenergy refers to energy derived from organic materials, typically plants and plant-derived materials like biogas, wood and methane.

The cement industry in Uganda is heavily dependent on integrated cement mills, which incorporate energy-intensive steps in cement kilns that require high temperatures.

As a result, the industry has recently seen an increase in the use of fossil fuels after biomass was outpaced by growing demand coupled with seasonal variations in availability.
