1. SUSTAINABLE PROCESS INDUSTRY EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETTIVENESS TROUGH RESOURCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY SPIRE Brokerage event December 16 th 2013 Incorporation of a variety of organic wastes into clay ceramics production for the GHG Emission Reduction.

2. WWW.SPIRE2030.EU 2 Organization www.viokeral.com  VIOKERAL, is one of the most important clay building materials producers in Greece and neighbouring Balkan countries (Bulgaria and Albania).

3. WWW.SPIRE2030.EU 3  Established in 1920 as family owned company, created through the decades a great reputation for innovation, progressive development that both finally ensure reliable quality products, such as: hollow and perforated bricks, roof tilles, and celler system.  550.000 tn of ceramic building materials are produced annualy at six different owned plants fullfilling quality standards and aesthetic design.  By the participation to the EU – ETS, VIOKERAL organised R&D&I department, in order to achieve the KYOTO target and creates CARBON OFFSETS.Thus, in the production process, valorise waste or by-products into raw materials

4. WWW.SPIRE2030.EU Project Idea Concept 1. Production of ceramic products by mixing clay materials with :  Olive Stone Wooden Residue  Alperujo (two phase olive oil mills waste)  Olive Oil Mill Waste Waters (OMWW)  Other biomass waste (agricultural, food industry)  Oil drilling and processing 2. Reduction of energy demands (up to 60%) 3. Reduction of water demand (up to 30% for Alperujo and OMWW) 4. Increase resource efficiency through kilns, boilers, heat exchangers and automation systems. 5. Involve cross - sectorial corporations, machinery constructors and research institutes to the reduction of GHG emissions and resource efficiency. Major Advantages : a) Holistic approach for resource management b)Substantial reduction in energy demands and CO 2 emissions. 4
