The study draws the following principal conclusions:

• Electrification of the heating in the cement process appears to be technically possible. Among other things, it has been shown to produce a certain amount of cement clinker based entirely on plasma technology. This possibility needs to be verified through large scale testing.
• An electrified solution for cement is competitive compared with other alternatives in order to achieve radical reductions in emissions. The study demonstrates an approximate doubling of the production cost for the cement, but ultimately only entails a cost increase of a couple of percent of the finished building or infrastructure.
• Simulations have indicated that any future electrification of Cementa’s factory on Gotland would work well together with the planned expansion of wind energy on Gotland, partly through an improved energy balance, but also through reduction of the maximum surplus capacity to which wind energy would otherwise give rise.
