This paper explores the technical and environmental benefits of using waste materials in cement production, such as reduced resource consumption, lower CO2 emissions, and improved waste management. The potential of waste materials, including organic fibers and biomass biochar, as substitutes for traditional raw materials is explored, highlighting their ability to improve concrete properties and reduce production costs. However, challenges such as maintaining raw material consistency, meeting standards, and overcoming technological barriers need to be addressed. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate and analyze the potential of using biochar, biomass, and waste as a cement additive, taking into account environmental and technical aspects of waste recycling. The research and analysis carried out indicate that biomass fly ash, lignin, and biochar meet environmental and industrial standards. These materials do not cause hazardous emissions to the environment. From an economic point of view, the use of biochar, lignin, and biomass fly ash can lead to significant cost reductions in the construction industry by reducing the need for traditional raw materials in the cement industry. The study found that although waste materials offer significant environmental and economic benefits, their widespread adoption requires overcoming environmental and technological hurdles. In particular, biochar was identified as a promising material for the development of sustainable construction.

Niniejszy dokument analizuje techniczne i środowiskowe korzyści płynące z wykorzystania materiałów odpadowych w produkcji cementu, takie jak mniejsze zużycie zasobów, niższa emisja CO2 i lepsza gospodarka odpadami. Zbadano potencjał materiałów odpadowych, w tym włókien organicznych i biowęgla z biomasy, jako substytutów tradycyjnych surowców, podkreślając ich zdolność do poprawy właściwości betonu i obniżenia kosztów produkcji. Należy jednak stawić czoła wyzwaniom, takim jak utrzymanie spójności surowców, spełnianie norm i pokonywanie barier technologicznych. Dlatego też badanie miało na celu zbadanie i przeanalizowanie potencjału wykorzystania biowęgla, biomasy i odpadów jako dodatku do cementu z uwzględnieniem aspektów środowiskowych, technicznych i ekonomicznych. Przeprowadzone badania i analizy wskazują, że popioły lotne z biomasy, ligniny i biowęgla spełniają normy środowiskowe i przemysłowe. Materiały te nie powodują niebezpiecznych emisji do środowiska. Z ekonomicznego punktu widzenia wykorzystanie biowęgla, ligniny i popiołu z biomasy może prowadzić do znacznego obniżenia kosztów w budownictwie poprzez zmniejszenie zapotrzebowania na tradycyjne surowce w przemyśle cementowym. W badaniu stwierdzono, że chociaż materiały odpadowe oferują znaczące korzyści środowiskowe i ekonomiczne, ich powszechne przyjęcie wymaga pokonania przeszkód środowiskowych i technologicznych. W szczególności biowęgiel został zidentyfikowany jako obiecujący materiał do rozwoju zrównoważonego budownictwa.
