Abstract
While, in Paris, climate changes are discussed, and the new directives and targets regarding the global warming for the upcoming years are being outlined and established, there are already some companies that have begun to include alternative energies in their daily reality, thus reducing their carbon dioxide emissions, a long time ago. One of these enterprises is a Portuguese company of cement production, SECIL S.A. Herein, this case of success and innovation is disclosed through one of their latest projects, the construction of a pilot plant to liquefy biomass into bio-oil for use as fuel in their cement kilns.
