The best grades of coking coal in the UK were only obtained in Durham and South Wales.
A meeting i attended in Cardiff Uni,Mining engineers regarding the Margam drift mine proposal by Tata in Port talbot,a few year`s back,the coal used there came from a large opencast in Mozambique.
Up to date all cement works in the UK use coal in the production,
And as far as i know,all Hot Lime is produced with coal as well,not heard of any other fuel used. |
I don't have any figures but this suggests that not all cement production uses coal as the fuel source...

Alternative fuels have been successfully used in cement kilns for decades. In the UK, alternative fuels used include secondary liquid fuels, scrap tyres, paper, packaging and household waste, meat and bone meal and sewage sludge pellets. |
