| Abstract | ||
| This study presents the economic and environmental importance of the use of energy alternatives in the provision of energy for the production of cement in Egypt. In light of this، the cement industry is considered to be one of the energy intensive industries. It also shows the economic effects of using these alternatives in providing thermal energy for the production of cement. The cost of purchasing and supporting fossil fuels (conventional energy used in the cement industry)، which amounts to millions of dollars and the amount of savings in total energy costs when using these alternatives (scrap tires and waste). The objectives of the study are to identify alternatives to energy that can be used in the cement industry, to determine the economic and environmental impacts of the energy alternatives used in the cement industry, the possibility of using scrap tires and solid waste as an alternative to fossil fuels in reducing the cost of the cement industry, In order to achieve the objectives of the study, in the study and deductive to confirm the validity of the hypotheses of the study, The study has reached the following results: Cement contributes to solving the problem of unemployment, causing the cement industry and other heavy industries to cause environmental pollution and to reflect harmful effects on man, water, air and soil. The entry into the field of waste recycling leads to the reduction of environmental degradation and depletion of resources. This preserve them for future generations, thus achieving the principle of sustainable development, The most important recommendations of the researchers are: - Attention to the economic dimensions of solid waste and scrap tires for the gains that help in opening up areas for export through the development of standards for the operation and utilization of waste dumps. The establishment of a unit responsible for waste management in the environmental protection institution to provide the necessary funding and training to follow up Waste management and scrap tires, implementing legislation that includes the proper management of waste through collection, transport and recycling), attention to the use of modern methods of waste management and scrap tires will have positive impacts on the health of individuals within the district Because the rapid disposal and non-accumulation for a period so as not to decompose and be a cause of environmental pollution and thus the transfer of many diseases. | ||
