Indian cement company buys American solar technology
Dalmai Cement, one of India’s largest, is going to use American technology to harness solar power for a new cement plant. Making cement is an energy-intensive business. In the U.S. over 10% of all our energy goes into making building supplies like cement, glass, steel and roofing.
The technology is being supplied by Infinia, which I blogged about recently. Dalmai is also buying the necessary engines from Stirling Energy Systems which makes engines that turn heat into mechanical energy and thence into electricity.
