The years of experience in the utilization of alternative fuels, mainly waste in the cement industry around the world show that their application is justified from all points of view. Many wastes created during the several processes in the industry or from external sources have pretty good potential for use for cement manufacture, either as fuels or replacement of raw materials, hence, this industry is actively pursuing their beneficial use within its processes. Energy costs and environmental standards encouraged cement manufacturers world-wide to evaluate to what extent conventional fuels can be replaced by alternative fuels with processed waste materials. In this study, primary types of alternative fuels that can be used instead of the non-renewable fuels for cement production in Sharrcem company are presented and reviewed. The significant role of cement production in overall sustainable development is manifested in the use of alternative materials in order to achieve the highest possible ecological balance while maintaining optimum acceptability criteria for the cement and construction industry.
